Seen a guitar case for young Bradley Tash. Currently at swimming and sent a message to buyer saying I can pick up after swimming. No reply. Checked on messenger and they have read the message. A quick look on the item. Now sold. Why the bloody hell

It’s a lovely track and just gets better. I believe it’s on a sand based ground so it soaks away well. Played it last year and we got lost ended up playing 21 holes. My nearest the pin was DQd. First one I had in 6 months

Electric boot on my car has stopped working.
There is no kind of manual override.
And I thought run-flat tyres were dumb.

I read a thing the other day that the Chinese were now stopping making electric cars that will only open electronically. They are now going back to making them with mechanical door openings. Apparently there have been instances where passengers have been killed because they have not been able to get out of cars when the electronics have packed in.

Don't know about Chinese cars, but there have certainly been cases of people trapped in Teslas for this reason. The mechanical override to open the door is INSIDE the car, and there's no way for outsiders to get in if the occupants are incapacitated.

Nothing as serious as the above, but what are folk trying to prove by flying back to Bristol, where arrival temperature this evening was about 4c, in shorts, vest and flip-flops?

And if anyone thinks it’s a simple case of breaking a window to gain access, that’s nowhere near as easy as it sounds. Trust me, I’ve tried.

It's nothing more than pure narcissism.
I remember returning from Lanzarote to Luton, (should have been Gatwick, but that's another story), and some bint on the plane was wearing tiny white shorts, a tiny white top and tiny white sandals so as to show off her tan.
It was snowing!

Snow and ice, seems to be never ending up here!!!

 

[Beezerk]

Heating not working in the hotel room last night, must have spent about 2 hours in the bath

Colleagues who call in ‘sick’ when you know they’ve had holiday requests turned down.

Do the bosses deal with that or do the people get away with it?

Give them their holidays then.

Is this still available? ..........................................

For me I have using it for too long to worry about no replies and random reasons for not collecting items that somebody has agreed to buy.

I know I have sold stuff with multiple messages in minutes and gone straight away. So just replied sold.

They have banned doors with handles as you see on some cars (they pop out of the door and electrically activated) There is a horrible video on YouTube of a driver desperately trying to get the kids out of the back seats as the car starts to burn but cannot get in to it due the handle design.

As an aside I have seen the advice that when trying to break open a window do not try to smash it in the middle because the glass will just flex. Hit it in a corner of the window where it will be at it stiffest.

Give them their holidays then.

And if they all want the same holidays?

In some sectors you simply can’t have whatever you want. If you’re in an office that’s one thing, but if you’re running an ambulance service or a power station…
