Random Irritations

Sea gull stuff. One has annointed my CLS. I wipe it off with a wet wipe, but this stuff is mega abrasive, and has really torn up the paint finish. 15 minutes with the Meguilars Ultimate, and nope, still scratched to blazes.

Maybe a few minutes with a DA polisher, if you can get your hands on one?
 
Just had tomorrows MRI scan appointment cancelled :mad:, normally wouldn't be too irritating, but i had to withdraw from a booked 4bbb away open, at a venue we usually do quite well at :mad:.

I managed to get my usual PP a substitute, but now I'm left twiddling my thumbs, maybe it'll be cancelled due to thunder and lightning :ROFLMAO::devilish:
To make things even worse, the weather is now fine and there is a time available, but i can't find a PP .:mad::mad::mad:
 
I have never done this, and have no idea where to start.
I use Swisswax products, and have made quite a few cars look absolutely spanking, but unless you want to really get involved I would use a professional detailer and get the car sorted and waxed/sealed to protect for the future as well.
If you like your cars, its worth it, but never try to remove any bird crap unless you soak it fully with lots of water and then gradually ease it away.

You have my sympathy. On soft paint, burd shot is a mare as it eats into the paintwork. After removal, even going at it with a electric polisher doesn’t guarantee total removal of the ghosting that lingers. Longer we leave it the more damage and there’s only so much depth the paintwork has.
 
Driving home last night listening to audiobook and author mentions a 'barathea' & knew the word from childhood but couldn't remember what on earth it was until I got home 30 minutes later and googled it o_O

Well if you will read Tyrrell Hatton's autobiography …...
 
Royal Ascot week making the club a no go zone with roads closed in and out and all the decent pubs in a ten mile radius filled with racegoers. No golf or practice at the club for me until a week on Saturday. Use to be the same when I lived in Wimbledon but at least I was young free and single then and could spend my time trying and failing to chat up the overseas females. Add in the threat of no train waiting for me after work thanks to a strike and it could be a long commuting week

You could always move?;)
 
Our cooker... More predominantly the hob.

We live in a no gas area so have to have an electric hob, we've got one of those looks cool overly expensive glass hobs. Despite the price of it is absolutely crap, you have to have a certain type of pan to not scratch it, something that should take a couple mins to cook can be in there for what feels like hours with no warmth in it at all literally still cold to touch then bam 10 seconds later from nowhere it's hotter than the fires of hell and what your cooking that was undercooked 10 seconds ago is now suddenly burnt to a cinder and inedible 😠

A plain ceramic hob requires totally flat saucepans for the heat to transfer effectively, which is why people complain of poor cooking with them (their pans arent true flat). I assume you're more use to gas, so I would suggest swapping the ceramic hob for an induction (ceramic) hob. As long as you have ferrous based saucepans (a magnet will stick to them) you will find them miles better, and if you have one of the more powerful ones that needs it's own 32a circuit (like most ceramic hobs do) it will be quicker than gas, and just as controllable.
Trust me, I am a doctor:)

We have an induction ceramic hob, and the pans are the ones that were recommended by the manufacturer they were bloody expensive.

I have no idea about the circuits though 🤣

I have come up with a simpler method of using my hob, let the Mrs do it 😉
