No, I like his videos but I don't really know Kitch.  Really need to pull my finger out and fix that car.

Another sense of satisfaction from today, getting my old alarmist head on

down at the grandparents, almost constant false alarms from the kitchen detector

this sod right here, one of the few I didn’t replace 4 or so years ago when I upgraded the panel, it’s being a bugger and causing no end of issues now, great

so enough omitting the zone now time to sort it

decided to move it to as well as it barely clears the cupboard and I wanted one mounted more securely

some faffing around with cable and filling later

nice shiny new one fitted, tested and working, well walk test and set the alarm for an hour without it going off so I’d say that’s a win

so that’s pretty much them all replaced with the same model now

really enjoyed doing this actually! So this is my grin for the day

kin brummies 

hes up the stairs and even tho the person has told them the number of the room

hes walking up and down 'cant find it'

he gets them to show him - then he cant get in the room cos the key wont fit in the lock (it will) - hes ended up going back downstairs

the chap that showed me up here said the locks are a bit weird - no theyre not theyre the ones where the barrel spins = has to be the right way up to then have the key in it

took me 0.05 secs to realise that (ive seen a lot of (key) holes )

My grandmother had an immersion heater forty years ago ( pre central heating ) I had no idea they were still around.

Expensive way to heat water if you use standard rate electricity. About 3-4x that of a gas boiler, although less than 2x on economy 7 or whatever it’s called these days.

Just casually looking at the suggested content and there's always the odd spurious clickbait bollocks, especially for restoration and car content, and then there's this.

I don't know what annoys me more, the obvious falsehoods on display or the fact it has a couple of million views.

One of the gambling sites has been running a promo that's fairly easy to win. Paid out £400 this week, so that's my road tax sorted.

Mazda 6 MOT, service and a few odds and sods.  Passed and ready now but haven't time to go for it today.

I had asked for the oxygen sensor to be replaced, the EML is on.  It passed anyway and the sensor from the dealer is over £600. and needs a week for delivery. 

So, didn't need it and didn't need a new spare either.

I think I’d like to work in the dept of vague paranoia. Just because you’re paranoid it doesn’t mean they aren’t out to get you. I remember getting a pamphlet in the post some twenty years ago with this design. Probably still have it somewhere. Not heard a thing from the government since about it - not even in the pandemic years.

Yup, although doesn't seem to recognise it as an app for alerts etc. More of a shortcut, but very handy 👌

Got home just now to an unexpected parcel by the door... what could it be??

Beer?

Beer!

Free Beer no less! Apparently my email address is valuable enough to them to buy it from me with two cans of beer. Their loss, every cunt has my email address anyway.

Just been in a well known pet shop  and .... you can get "Posh Wine to Celebrate Your Dogs Birthday"  and yes it's for the Doggie in your life, which would be  good to go with the "Doggie Muffins"  of course ... 🤔

Absolute gem of a channel, popped up in a friend's suggestions and I'm so glad he let me know about it.
