Edinburgh must be the richest city in the world. Can’t think of anywhere else with a spare suspension bridge just for buses and  Lycra enthusiasts.

Destination Adventure is one of my favorite YouTube channels, and I’ve spent many enjoyable hours watching him explore abandoned places in Western Canada. This summer season, he is in Eastern Canada and is currently exploring Newfoundland. And this has to be one of the best I’ve seen in a while. Driving into a bay on a remote island off Newfoundland, a abandon cathedral is the last thing you’d expect to see, and while exploring the island, and he finds the remains of a old stone church in the forrest with a large cemetery.

Things like this are so fascinating.

Looked at the forks, looked away still forks. Scrolled down, looked at boat, Scrolled up saw it instantly. 😎 Can now see both easily.

Went over to my mates and fixed his touran. Rear abs sensor had gone. Was my first time changing one... 

Old one was a bastard to remove. I found taking the caliper off and having the disc loose meant I could see the sensor poking out. Being very careful not to fuck the abs ring I got a big flathead in there and popped it back. Then a big screw and leverage to get the rest out! 

New cheap ebay sensor in. That needed the edges filing down a bit on his garden wall but eventually slipped in. Plugged my code reader in, cleared the abs fault and it's fixed! His car is light free on the dash. 

Needs an mot now before something else goes wrong 😂 the front side lights have been causing issues, does it need special bulbs being vag? It lights up my random capless bulbs I've fitted but has thrown an error about it a bit (front left parking light. We fucked about swapping bulbs again earlier and it's working again now 🤷) 

Told him to ask the tester straight up if he can offer any advice on the tyre wear he has. Even if it doesn't fail the test if a bottom arm bush is going we'd rather change it now before wrecking another set of tyres in 9 months. 

Car has many other lurking issues but none that are putting a light on the dash 😂🤷

This morning I found some poetry notes I'd mostly forgotten about.  So I picked up one that consisted of two lines, and brought it up to sonnet length; I can probably regard that as finished now.  Then I dived into another that was little more than a title.  I've written what could be described as a poem, but I don't think it's what I wanted or intended it to be.  Oh well, back into it tonight or tomorrow probably.

I've had some pain in the arse buyers, but nobody has given me as big of a red flag as this 😂 (it's a van my mate is selling)

I've never had an enquiry like that but surely they're not worth bothering with unless you really need the sale and nobody else has got in contact? Or maybe it's just me, I think I'm temperamentally incapable of handling an enquiry like that politely.

If it was my van to sell I would have just replied "I don't think it's what you're looking for" and blocked him.

My mate was gonna take the time to answer his questions so as not to upset him, But I've talked him out of it.  This bloke is going to be a headache before he buys the van, and an even bigger headache after he buys it when something  goes wrong with it (which it will, being a 39 year old van)

Fucking rife nowadays, reeks of twatGPT that one.
