Parky Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Don’t have Coronavirus, but do have Tonsillitis. Main grump is I only get a couple of days off rather than a couple of weeks. However it means my Pripyat trip is back on provided the antibiotics do their thing before Friday Jerzy Woking 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazoli Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I think getting on a plane to travel anywhere is risky at the minute, you could end up quarantined in some shithole hospital for a fortnight, things are going to get worse before they improve that's for certain.

Rovorsche Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Just been reading some more details on the death of PC Harper on the BBC. The poor man was minced almost to death over a mile by thieving travellers dragging him behind the car because they wanted to escape justice at any cost. Going to stay off the internet for a while lest I type something that upsets this very special group. sdkrc, BlankFrank, grizgut and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulgalour Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Actual flu. I'm over the worst of it, thankfully, but when you have to stop for a rest twice while washing the pots just so you can catch your breath it gets a bit wearing. Small victories though, this time last week I could barely even stay awake and every single bone ached. Fortunately I don't buy into the tabloid bullshit that any sort of cold related thing is coronavirus. In other news, can anyone explain to me why our local shops have been bought out of crisps? Is this some daft OMG CORONOCHAOS MUST HAVE PANIC BUY essential? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zelandeth Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 My compressor is currently on the blink. Looking at that is about item number 32 on the to do list. So I need to venture out to check my tyres. The 12V one is currently out of commission because someone (definitely not me...nope...) shut the power connector in the garage door and smashed it. A sodding pound for air?!? Nope... I'll splice a new lead onto my 12V compressor then! Screw that nonsense...

Datsuncog Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Yow, that's steep... was about 20p locally until last year, now it's 50p for the privilege of grovelling around the mucky bit of tarmac next to the car wash while getting your fingers coated in brake dust. A pound? Bollocks to that. It's getting to the point it'd be cheaper to just buy another car...

PhilA Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I find those special digital ones are worse than trying to get the pressure right than looking through the scratched window of an old style inflator-gauge. Put a pound in, get 7 minutes of the thing fannying about pumping a bit, stopping to read the pressure, beeping, pumping a bit more, letting air out.. spend 7 minutes on one wheel myglaren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tadhg Tiogar Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Sainsbury's air facility is free. Last time I used a paid-for air inflator, I was directly behind someone who had already paid to use it so, when he drove off, the inflator was still running and I was able to do the entire car for free. stonedagain, myglaren, Craig the Princess and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerzy Woking Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 The American round of MotoGP has been postponed. I'll get my ticket money back, but not what I have already paid out for my flights, car hire and accommodation. The small group I am going with, and I, are healthy and so we are still going, otherwise we are throwing away over a grand each. We've looked at the risks, but are happy with the the odds. Also because Texas are not allowing events with more than 2500 spectators, it means that the baseball and drag racing events we wanted to go to look like they wont go ahead either.

dozeydustman Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 No motoring grump, a cat related one. My first for a long time. The tabby has started pissing around the house. Not spraying, full bladders at a time. She has been acting weird the last six months or so. I'm secretly hoping that it's one last trip to the vet because I hate this particular cat (I'm not a cat lover anyway), but that means I'll have to put up with a grumpy wife for ages now. She's locked outside for now. I can't be dealing with a cat pissing everywhere as I had enough of that with both an ex-girlfriend and an ex-housemate.

Crackers Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I thought I had a chance on one of my dream cars, which might be the first and last time I'll ever be able to afford one.
