Went to go out on the dirt bike this morning and the battery has gone belly up

(Showing 12.46vdc across the terminals then drops to 1.31vdc when I press the button.Starts okay with a booster pack but I cannot take that with me in a rucksack for whenever I stop).

My bus back from Stansted was filled with the usual collection of weasel-faced Eastern Europeans and shouty Africans. I had thought shouty Africans were annoying when they shouted in English, but I'd not heard them do it in Italian.

There was even a guy eating Burger King, complete with stinky tomato ketchup. I nearly hurled.

It was so distressing I had to get a black cab home from Stratford

Car designers. Again. Putting a consumable part like glow plugs in a place where the easiest one to access requires remove of the power steering reservoir. The next two also need the EGR removing, which includes several bolts that you can't actually see because you have to reach up between the EGR and the cylinder block (and all the joy that infers for reassembly), with none of them having straightforward access for a socket on a ratchet. Then the final one requires the alternator to be removed.

I only needed to replace one of the ones behind the EGR - still took almost two hours rather than the 15 minutes I'd expect for a trivial job.

Ridiculously overpriced cars.

2004 Seat Leon 1.8 20v T. 119K. £5495.

Good luck with that you delusional cunt.

Is BCF dead?

Mudcow007 makes a thread about his numb arse and no body makes a gay joke? Not a single one. I'm disappointed.

Parcel force trying to say they dropped my package off at number 11

No they didn't as that's the person whose bike I'm working on

Also why did they sign my name not their own
Also no card telling me this

EBay seller saying its been delivered they have proof

Drunk drivers.

More specifically the paraletic arsehole who torpedoed his crappy Honda into the side of my truck friday night, leaving me and the missus sat in the middle of a busy junction having spun us around 300 degrees whilst managed to drive off about 300 hundred yards and then stagger away until the police got him. At least his parents had the foresight to insure the little shit.
Truck's a write off.

The salvage man said he's not seen this before...

But imagine if you had one of those inferior little cars rather than HUNKS OF 'MURICA METAL.

That however, is a fucked wheel

[Rogerborg]

DUI is still considered to be a minor in many places in USia. I've been out with Murcans who think nothing of sinking 6 or 8 units at lunchtime then weaving back to the office in their land-yachts. I guess that explains the arms race to bigger vehicles.

Can't find my sd card loaded with music I dig out out every year as I will be leaving my radio at home in the coming weeks simply to avoid listening to Christmas songs.

People giving way to me at inappropriate or unexpected moments when I'm riding my motorbike, where in the usual order of things such a courtesy is neither expected nor needed and it just adds a layer of hassle onto the maneuver.
