Three Speed Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Took a taxi to Taipei airport this morning. 10 minutes from the airport - wet road, driver possibly nodding off, too fast into a bend, understeer - oversteer and into the concrete barrier we went. But no bones broken or fluids spilled. I got in another taxi and made the flight and am home now so definitely a grin and not a grump. xtriple, adw1977, stonedagain and 2 others 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STUNO Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Spring is well and truly sprung, sunshine and clear skies. The three central volcanoes from near home. Google says 72 miles or 115 km away EDIT....Well spring lasted 2 days, now back to normal, heavy rain, wind and cold for the week.

Mally Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Spent Sunday night in Blackpool, as I do from time to time. Cabaret in the Lounge. Young* lady singing that I recognise from Benidorm 10 years ago. She left to live with a bloke from Leeds and we lost touch. My late wife used to be a friend of hers, we spent a lot of time with her over the years. Now have a phone number, and a meet up next time I'm there. Nothing in it, but she's blonde, bubbly, talkative and knows everyone. Just what I need. catsinthewelder, myglaren, clayts450 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iainrcz Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I'm a moderator on the UK Peugeot RCZ owners forum. We are having a lot of spammers recently. In the user bio section people can fill in a small bit about them including their occupation. Today we had a guy join from the Bahamas (Well, Russia actually) who was an Astronaut! His interests were Politics, libraries and wine tasting. Probably took him longer to type his bollocks out than it took me to ban him ? myglaren and HarmonicCheeseburger 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey spud Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 After quitting the Rac last year i now have a new job that involves working on mobile compressed air systems and also doing a bit of calibration of hand tools. I was presented with this nearly new Norbar 330nm torque wrench today. The guy claimed it was accidentally run over by a small truck... But when i looked at the twisted drive it was fairly obvious some animal had been using it as a breaker bar. That'll be about a £100 out of their pocket. somewhatfoolish, FakeConcern and RobT 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
