Taxed the lovely ex @davehedgehog31 purple Lexus and drove it to work today.  First day back after a week off, sun shining, birds singing and feeling on top of the world in a luxurious barge.

Happy again, as this morning the x1/9 drove 220 miles without a single complaint and kept 80degees even up the hill to the air-balloon roundabout. Not quite half a tank of Esso e5 either, so high 40mpgs

 Since 2019 nov mot it’s only done 213 miles until today.

quite pleased tonite , my son got a Fujitsu lifebook A for uni many years ago , supplied by memtech , which was abandoned for somat that worked better 

last year or so after completing his masters or somat like that , any way despite debloating it , it was still shite and was abandoned until

tonight ...  it was dragged out , cleaned , powered up from 0% battery 

I cleared the bios warning bit for the battery that prevented a thermal event ?? and the the bar steward BIOS password !!  ( why the FFFF do that ? ) 

cleared that with some help from some supportive web sites such as BIOS Master Password Generator for Laptops (bios-pw.org)

and now thanks to the latest Linux Mint and a SSD  the Lappy is up and running     

saved from living behind the cupboard destined for landfill !   

Oh god the battery warnings on this era of Fujitsu are a pain in the arse. It seems to prevent lawsuits or any other assorted grief, they try and artificially limit used batteries to something like 50% of its capacity. As far as I can tell it does this on age or some arbitrary statistic without actually checking the battery. Automatically installed by Windows Update too.

An average Facebook interaction. Enjoy 🤣

I think they're both equally tosspots in their own ways.. with the code scanning genie being the bigger tossers. Dave has a point but needs to give it a rest though and stop getting his knickers in such a twist over something he cannot control 😄

Slight overhang.

Should dig out a hi viz really though the cloth seemed to do the trick.

Can’t see how they couldn't  legally be mini world. Surely “mini” can’t be copyright only “Mini”, but agree Bini should have been their choice.

Also I see the parent company is Bridgend Motor Group. I’d have changed that to Bridgend Motor Wholesalers , which is a bit of a mouthful , so possibly just use the initials.

He's had the DPF "delete" done has he? He might be disappointed to hear that a 53 plate Picasso had a DPF delete from the factory 🤣

I wonder what he's had removed thinking it's a DPF, presumably the cat 🤣

[Asimo]

More likely the fuel filter…

Someone in our flats is having a well overdue nonce clear out.

A 1986 Royal Wedding mug might be in there, but I couldn't see it.

Seen this when it was actually Mini World, and drove past the other day to see 'INI world', much to my confusion.

The whole thing that's went on surrounding this is bizarre.
