rubecula Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 jaysus h on a bike...…. that was fucking expensive trip you know.... I went to Liverpool for bit of relaxation and to make sure I did relax I left the cars here and went by train …. what a fucking nightmare that turned out to be with kids screaming , mums screaming everyone was screaming and there were no seats left on the train. Anyway I got off the train at Walton and got stuck as I had not realised there was no ramp …. fuck. got a taxi for a trip to my missus place, which was just up the road, went shopping for her on the same day. missed my stop and saw a car for sale in a car showrooms, bought the car..... idiot as I am, and then her washing machine packed in so I bought her a new one, then the telly died so I bought her a new one then the telly would not fit on the telly table so I bought her a new one then the dvd player fuckin died so I bought her a new one, wtf? I am not going back to Liverpool for a month and when I do …. shit I am taking her on holiday for her birthday fucking expensive this shit. oh the car that is great if I can get my head around some of it's features. I locked myself in the back on the way home after I stopped for a rest today took the best part of an hour to get out of the fucking thing.

Just saw an incredible gig at the Bridgwater Hall, sat in the pub next to the Premier Inn having a couple of pints before bed, worth the total f'king nightmare drive. Hate these new "luxury apartment'" skyscraper buildings going up though, screws my head looking up at them. Thirty floors, my room is 7th and I had to shut the curtains!

Glad you enjoyed your gig. Hope you stumbled into Peveril of the Peak little peculiar looking pub usually with people spilling out of it. Guess that's another reason you like Greece, no risk of being higher than the fourth floor. It's incredible how many have popped up in the last few years. Investors making a killing. Although it should be the government building then but that's for another discussion. Have safe journey back MikeO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be in the hospital until Monday apparently and god knows how many stitches they put in. They said it needed double suturing and I’m pretty sure I could see bone once I’d gotten to the bathroom mirror. Hotel room looked like a horror film!

MikeO Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Going to Greece tomorrow and just had an email from the property owner (where we've been going for ten tears) saying that he has a group of "difficult" Germans in the apartment we booked, the one we always stay in, and offering us a couple of alternatives. Option one is ground floor with no private outdoor space and option two is second floor which is accessed by outside stairs the my wife can only venture up after a fair few ouzos due to fear of heights (she's been up to have a look when under the influence). Germans (I call them that but nationality isn'tt relevant) are apparently in their sixties with mobility issues so top floor (which they were initially allocated) isn'tt possible but they're refusing to move downstairs. I've just given the owner option three which is to tell them that the apartment they're in is booked and has been since January by many time repeat customers so they need to get the f**k out. Only four hours before we set out for Gatwick, didn't need this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 Scratched the hire car today, really hairline stuff that will T-Cut out no problem but I'm really pissed off by it. The owner of the car that I "hit" was the restaurant owner (where we were just about to eat) who was himself directing me in a very tight space. Should be fine as the drop-off is just leaving the car at the airport with the keys under the mat but I'll survey the damage in the morning. Think I've got too reliant on my cars at home having parking sensors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never rely on sensors, good job as mine started playing up, sometimes they worked and sometimes they didn't. Last year, I got reversed into by a Chelsea tractor who claimed his censors didn't work.

Owner of the car I "hit" is an old friend who was there and guiding me into place, the minor scratches to his pick-up were the least of his concerns, Wife insisted on trying to give him a bit of cash but he refused as I told her he would, bit embarrassing really; he was far more concerned with our damage than his.
