issues across the street I wonder ?

,last year or so the house across the road had a big porch put up , it went over the drive , under which the main sewage drain pipe for the houses on that side existed ....

the builders came up with some technical reason as to why it was ok to use a 4 inch pipe ? into the existing 6 inch main to replace the bit under the porch ..

so a big pipe into a smaller pipe , then into a big pipe again .. we all voiced concern about it at the time ...but its now under tons of earth and porch ..

so far since xmas ,united utilities have been with the big pump truck , people have been lifting grids , now the drain pressure washers have been ...

so far I have gained a UU hard hat , but it got nicked out of the garden ...

Due to events I've explained elsewhere this morning I spent the day being a tourist in Bratislava. What a lovely place. Large old town, spotless, dozens of cafes and practically no tourists, except me. I know it's January but I'm sure Prague or Vienna would still be heaving.

Would highly recommend.

I'm definitely getting old. Just picked this up locally and after assembling it I enjoyed a wee lie down for 10 minutes 🤣

Also, in scenes which frankly would disgust a 17 year old me, I've just fixed the number plate lights on the Kangoo which makes it easier for the feds to trace the small blue van seen doing stunts around Fife

Had one of those.

Problem is, my drive is so rutted and knackered, it decided it'd rather wear one side of each wheel down, rather than rotate them as it's supposed to.

Comfy to start with, but not when each wheel has more in common with a 20p 🥺

Mines had loads of use, mostly moving pool tables and range cookers

Mine had loads of use too. It was second hand when i got it and used it a fair few times. One summer it died when all the kids in the block used it for riding down the hill on. Fun times.

Last neighbor of my grandparents is still alive but in bad condition and getting worse, dad has helped her since she has no one but now we have to find some distant relatives of hers.

So how do we do that? And dad only has little details that don't help. The answer was her Skoda Felicia which was sold to relatives by her almost 10 years ago. After searching, I found a website where I could search for car models and the start of the registration number as we know that as all cars sold new in that area had PX.

So after a bit of searching I found a pair of red Skoda Felicias with PX registration plates that were alive after 2014 so logged in and searched the authority database and the first car I looked up was the one she owned and from that I found the name of he she sold the car to and his telephone number and futher investigations and he fits what dad knows. He will be contacted tomorrow.

This was fun and thanks to a Skoda, I have very likely found the relatives we were looking for.

In the UK there is no access to the DvlA database unless you are a parking enforcement company.

Suitable for the Elon Musk thread but better here.

James Bond Lotus Esprit was a $100 storage-unit score; Elon Musk bought it for $1 million

Quote

It's the Storage Wars dream scenario: You buy a storage unit, sight unseen, for $100, and some rich guy, in this case Tesla founder and CEO Elon Musk, buys the contents off you for almost a million bucks.
