Those "little bobby thought nobody would say happy birthday to him because he's disabled, prove him wrong and share this facebook message" etc crap that turns up on Facebook. Who starts this crap.

After 2 hours of fiddling around I could finally get my (who knows how old) wifi adaptor to work in Fedora, on my legendary Q6600, only to find out the adaptor is crap, slow and can not establish a stable connection. 100% signal, yet the moment I start a internet browser or try to update the system, it fails.

Any Pi owners running the onboard wifi module successfully? I want a streaming machine for my living room Tv. The Q6600 is too big and noisy anyway, so I won't even bother buying a new wifi adaptor.

Forced to get a face full of drizzle for the last 1/2-1/4 of my commute because visibility was better with visor up than down. Sub 30mph speeds and no amount of wiping was going to help so gave up. Well, that and a shite visor I've complained about before.

Then we get to the trying to go home. Lights turned of near where I park so I had to get the flashlight out and fumble around to try and connect the tailbag to base. Then, once done, the zip puller thing come loose of the zip so had the fumble around again to get that back on.

Ah, all to come again tomorrow.

TL/DR Hand Car Washes - won't touch motorbikes, but have taken over and replaced self service jet washes.


I rode to Tesco to jet wash my Beta. Out of order. I rode to Kempston to the self service washes, knocked down and replaced with staffed Hand Car Wash - refused to do my bike. I rode to the jet wash at the petrol station in Kempston - replaced with Hand Car Wash - refused to my bike. I tried two more of these Hand Car Washes, all refused. I even offered one bloke £10 and said I will do it myself. Really, what is the big deal about motorcycles that hand car wash people won't touch them? I don't have a garage, I can't get my bike into the back garden, and if I try and take a hose round into the street and jet wash it, the neighours will complain that I've got mud on their cars and or houses, assuming there is even enough space to work - parking is a nightmare in a terraced street

I was chatted up today in Poundland on my dinner break. Seriously, cashier, middle aged, flirted like a good 'un. We had a laugh, she flirted outrageously, it was enjoyable, took me back to a time when I was courting the wife before she came 'the wife'.

Tickled me so much that I rang the wife to tell her. Big mistake, she thinks this is MY FAULT and I instigated it. No tea for me on the table when I got in tonight. Followed by "If you want your sandwiches doing for tomorrow; why don't you ask your new girlfriend!".

Sigh, why do women take things personally?

Dave, I think the problem might be the Poundland part. Your wife's upset that you'd flirt with a cashier in such a down market shop.*

If you'd said you'd been flirted with by a cashier in Cartier or Rackhams or even Waitrose she might not have reacted so badly. At the very least she would have been distracted by wondering what you were doing in there.

I'd raise my game if I were you. Tomorrow, tell her you were flirted with in Greggs.

* I'm a regular Poundland shopper, not snobbish in any way.......moi

Hello. I don't venture into any of those shops Tracey. Rackhams or House of Fraser is too expensive for my taste and Waitrose is just a more expensive Lidl. Greggs is a rip off, I can buy a bacon butty and cup of coffee for £1.10 from Spanish Mick's cafe in Erdington of a morning, stuff paying 3 or 4 quid.

Poundland is great, I do most of my shopping there. The wife thinks I am tight.

It has now progressed to "What does she look like then!", "Is she slimmer than me!" "All her own teeth?", etc etc.

Maybe, I love a rummage around the local car boot every Sunday, she on the other hand thinks it's dirty and full of other peoples rubbish. I got a t-pot and 4 cups and saucers from the car boot one year. Cost me £1.50. Wrapped it up nicely for her birthday and she never spoke to me for 2 days. Talk about ungrateful.
