  1. Past hour
  2. I saw Clive Lynch a few times in the pubs and clubs, he used to have a cafe in Beeston.
  3. I see a lot of these running lights turn off when the indicator light comes on, only the side that the indicator light shows so that could ease the problem, have the germans cured the indicator light problem on their cars now? you know where the indicators only come on two feet from the junction they are going to turn into instead of the recommended fifty meters, just asking Rog
  4. More Privatisation scandal: https://www.theguardian.com/money/2024/mar/12/private-nursery-chains-profits-england
  5. Today
  6. Many years ago we were overrun with Magpies that ganged up on our ‘pet’ Guinea fowl, stealing any eggs that had been laid around the garden. We borrowed a Larson Trap from a farmer friend and got the local population of Magpies down
  7. Privatisation of UK water by Thatcher has created a system of legalised theft, which customers are paying for in rotten service, ruined rivers and increasing bills. Water companies are actually borrowing money to fund dividend payments and being legally allowed to charge customers more to service that debt. When questioned, Ofwat , politicians etc.. all fudge the issue. This has to stop. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/ng-interactive/2022/dec/01/down-the-drain-how-billions-of-pounds-are-sucked-out-of-englands-water-system
  8. I can't be 100% certain but that doesn't look like the Mick Vaughan I remember. I first came across him when we booked 'Lambs of the World' into the 360 club. He was I think 16 and lead guitarist of what was essentially Clive Lynch (aka Nottm's Lord Sutch)'s band. At that time Mick Vaughan was widely regarded as a very good guitarist for his age and I have to say he acted the part.. Here's a link to a page on Lambs of the World and their later careers. https://playedinaband.com/lambs_of_the_world.htm Mick Vaughan later joined Paper Lace and the rest is histo
  9. As the days get longer and brighter has anyone else noticed that indicator lights particularly on the front of some modern cars/utes are difficult to see in bright sunlight? They are so small and hidden among other "bright work" such as daylight running lights. They are easily visible at night but need improving during bright sunny days.
  10. We put our clocks back on the weekend after Easter. OHH!!! dark nights Awful.
  11. Morning to all members Well Happy Easter to all Don't forget British Summer time begins Easter Sunday OHH!!! light nights Lovely
  12. That's a rather sophisticated air rifle plantfit/trogg. Sure beats the hell out of my old .22 BSA with V notch sights. I used Webley pellets they came in a cardboard box and I bought them from the local garage, 500 in a box. Same place as I bought my quarter inch square gatta elastic back in the day.
  13. Assuming there is/was a JC and he was born on December 25th why is there not a set date for his crucifixion/death instead of the date wandering around between late March and late April. Answers in plain English please.
  14. Yesterday
  15. My last Fiat.. a Grande Punto 'Sporting', used to show an airbag warning light in very cold weather. It was eventually diagnosed as a 'CAN line' fault, but never fixed. It was effectively a 'phantom' fault.
  16. They were pretty good Jim. In fact the Heart Failure Team are now satisfied that I am on optimum medications and stable, so have discharged me back into the care of my GP. It also seems that my last Echocardiogram, 9 weeks ago, showed no measurable deterioration in Left Ventricular function, so I'm still at the 'moderate' HF stage... which is pretty much as good as it gets. The Phlebotomists said the labelling issues were a product of old style blood forms issued by the HF team, which need the sample bottles labelled in handwriting. However the HF team say they don't Have the more moder
  17. That. With CANBUS wiring, everything is controlled by the onboard computer - which will need to be told that the bulb is new. https://dewesoft.com/blog/what-is-can-bus# Another nail in the coffin of DIY car repairs.
  18. The headlight for that car is one piece and over £1300 which is outrageous considering it's injection moulded plastic
  19. A friend of mine has a plaque on her front door. It reads: If our cat doesn't like you, we probably won't either! She has several mogs, including a Bengal. You don't mess with a Bengal.
