Random Irritations

[Deleted member 21784]

Can't believe I read MOT checks might be switched to every 2 years to ease the cost of living.

£50 a year max saving really

A few people forget anyways (someone on this site did) every 2 years will make it easier to forget

A lot of people don't check their cars unless the mot tells them. Which is completely wrong but it happens

Ideal world people check their cars weekly and keep them well but this world isn't ideal

Just seems potential to have more dangerous Cars on the road

Having 4-6 weeks of no golf or gym thanks to having my appendix out, and a hernia fixed

Ouch. Had the first one not had second. Was it a lower or normal hernia?

People that have their phone on Speaker/hands free when there’s no need.

MrsA does it. There was once some fringe scientific "evidence" that it cooks your brain, held next to your ear. She thinks better safe than sorry. I figure the damage is probably already done.

It's even pointless/dangerous than you thought as you'd actually only be saving about £25 a year!
Like that's going to help people!

BMW intelligent variable servicing.
I've always had my cars serviced once a year when the MOT is due.
This thing didn't need an oil change at the last service, so they didn't do it. Now it's informed me that it's due in the next 1000 miles, so I'm going to have to book in for an interim service.
I preferred it when cars had a set schedule that was displayed in the paper service booklet. Now I struggle to keep tabs on what's been done and what needs doing.

Does this mean I can post the picture of my daughters first poo in her potty in the things that gladden the heart thread?

Only with her permission.

Unusual for servicing guys not to check that with you - its possible/likely addition money to them if they do!
That was one of the 2 'innovations' in the D reg 528I I had that turned out to be 'lemons'! The 4th (of 5) lights failed! The other was the 'energy saving' engine cooling - that would not activate at idle, so temp could get up to 140* when stuck in traffic (ironically because of snow once)!

Hope the op sorts it and gets you back on course soon!

They were worried I had a lower one but Dr didn't seem too concerned at the ultra sound

Damn getting old

I played cricket against one of his brothers years ago - he was an arrogant prick as well

Just him speaking is enough to get irritated

Oh dear, maybe best to give Guinness, golf and social media a miss until it's better

I feel your pain. I'm dodging the pills at the mo and working damned hard on reducing all sugar and carbs. It's a tad depressing to be honest.

Done the sugar and carbs but not enough apparently and insulin injections likely. Depends on the next Hba1C from today. That will be a real life and game changer

Electric? My trolley has a V8 engine rather than a battery.........!
