Long wheelbase and only there for five minutes?

I'd seen that before saying France.

Just done 5 mins checking.

Apparently it's China when a car sharing business contract ran out, the batteries are OK. There just isn't any need for the vehicles.

You can tell it's China by the blue registration plates.

My internet was very poor for most of last week, switching off for long periods. Really was pissing me off as it seemed to be off just when I needed it.

So I sent a WhatsApp message to the company to see if they knew what the issue was.

15 minutes later one of their vans is at my front gate. Technician comes in, plugs my router into his laptop, says the router has an issue, and pulls a new one out of his bag, plugs it in, and all good.

The big grin is that I sent the message at 19.40 hours. On a Friday. Some services here are crap, but others restore my faith in moving here.

Service exactly as it should be!  I thought it was extinct.

Reminds me of a visit to - Wrexham, it might have been? - years ago with my parents, and looking in a Shelter charity shop... right next door to an estate agent!

Had to go to Peterhead which is about 30 miles from me, mostly on A roads.  Took the Mustang, just because, and discovered that it's quite quick.  Turns out LHD is not such a hindrance on well sighted roads and overtaking is quite easy with sufficient power at your disposal.    

Of course the penalty for all this sound and fury is that it converts petrol to noise at 22mpg but I'm definitely not complaining.

TL;DR: Buy a Mustang, they're great.

Despite an enormous phobia of needles and medical procedures in general, today I finally got two ticks on my covid vaccination card. Has NOT been an easy journey to this point, but here I am.

Still at caravan. On the bog to drown some kittens. Cue much noise - I then clocked the window was open  and my neighbours less than a stones throw away.

enter ECP.

'hi, I'd like some TFR' 
'ah we're out of 5 litre bottles, we only have it in a 20 litre container. the 20 litre works out cheaper anyway - 5l is like £20-25'
'Is the 20l the concentrated stuff?'
'yes'
'How much is it?'
'£14.99'
'I'll take one of those'.

Not gonna need cleaning supplies for a while methinks. 

[inconsistant]

MOOOOOO!!!

Driving home through Rhyl - the sky tower on the prom lit up in lovely colours. Pity it hasn't worked since 2010.

Anyone want Boris Johnson's hair to attend your function at £100 an hour 

No thought not

I quite like the Stig lookalike* although you'd need to find half a bag plus travel costs to book him, so 100 quid for someone who doesn't look anything like Boris Johnson seems a bit of a bargain by comparison.

If more arseholes got treated like that, there would be fewer arseholes.

Agreed

I guarantee if that's on facebook somebody will be posting we don't know what's going on in the poor victims life , he may have mental health issues , we should help him , somebody set up a go fund me

I don't care what's going on in his life. It's not my problem and shouldn't be made into my problem by him behaving like a twat.

I thought at first he was a bit over the top, but then again on the other hand ........

Fair play for giving him a kick
