johnh Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 Had to go down to Hampshire today. Worked out my route using mainly B roads, avoiding motorways major A roads. Had a really good journey, not a lot of traffic and very pleasant scenery. Coming back, as I reached the M3 I made a last minute decision to change my route to M3, M25, M4. Middle of the afternoon, what could go wrong!!!! M3 was roadworks (50mph limit) all the way to the M25 (30 miles). M25 was stationary, all five lanes. It took me an hour to do five miles to the next junction when I left the motorway and went cross country anyway. Took me over twice as long coming back as it did going.

rubecula Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Bit of good news, finally got my driving licence back from DVLA, gits. Bit of shit news is I am now desperate to get a new job. I work for total bastards. A little bit of annoying new. My main computer is playing up again. Shitty thing as it is. Managed to finally get my new pushbike all together and it is now ready for use, but as I am working until midnight for a while I have no idea when I will be able to give it a go.

MikeO Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Agreeing to take my daughter plus grandkids to the airport in the morning. 6.00am start . But you can't say no can you? Just short of 200 miles all in; and then the same when I pick them up in a fortnight. Joy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll be part of their magic journey mate that they will always remember started with you Which will make the tiredness headache over excessive noise and constant "are we there yet" all worth while Hope that took the edge off what's likely to be a hellish journey ? Seriously though I love the first part of a holiday whether that be a cab or lift to the airport or train station (In Paris at the moment) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was fine this morning (two year old's meltdown in the car park aside, oh and him trying to grab the gear stick at 90mph on the motorway, he was sat in the front with me and had managed to get an arm free from his straps). Airport was nice and quiet so they checked in quickly and I took them as far as security, but still £5 for half an hours parking? Criminal.

johnh Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Latest Windows 10 update, been running for about an hour now and still only 38% done. I had one some months ago which also took a long time. Haven't had one recently though. The thing that annoys me is that you don't get any warning, it just dumps you out. I was watching cricket on Sky go when it dumped me out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubecula Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Cars. What is it with me and cars? Clutch smelled of burning, thought it best to get it checked out after work. On the way to the garage the bloody thing gave up totally. Managed to free wheel the rest of the way to the garage. They didn't have one in stock. Then it turns out that my model of car has either one type that is a bit pricey and one that costs a fortune...... Guess which one my car has...... Second opinion agreed. Car can not be moved under it's own steam now so I have to get it done. Going to cost money I don't have to fix it. :shaking fist: Cars I feckin hate the bastards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Could be a service indication Mike not a fault? Worth a Google mate Think it probably is actually, checked the service schedule and it is due one; not on mileage (very much a fair weather biker me) but on time.

I smelled burning in my works van a few years ago, thought I could probably make it back to the depot (about 3 miles).....smell soon turned into smoke through the dashboard, still thought maybe I could make it back.....flame through the vents convinced me I couldn't. This led to a hasty bale out.Cab was completely gutted! When the recovery truck came to 'recover', the driver commented that how I'd parked it was going to make it awkward for him. I 'commented' that as I was parking it " the smoke and flames had kind off made it awkward for me to park nicely "! MikeO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I 'commented' that as I was parking it " the smoke and flames had kind off made it awkward for me to park nicely "! Wow, that's quite a story! Only thing I've got that comes close was when I was muuuch younger, commuting into work in London along the A3 Kingston by-pass on my bike. Absolutely chaotic bit of road back then (probably still is); sometimes two lanes sometimes three, very narrow lanes and madness in the rush hour. I was in the outside lane doing about 80mph with all lanes absolutely solid with fast moving traffic when my throttle cable snapped so I went immediately to tick-over. Managed somehow to navigate my way to the kerb as I gradually lost momentum but I had to buy some new pants afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
