  1. Why do I aways miss the stuff near me! I even have a deactivated 870 I could have swapped the scabby parts from AND a family packet of Skittles!
  2. Pays your money and take your chances. Everthing these days is outrageous to fix, my mum just had the turbo and service on her Golf and it cost £1200! Everything needs coding to the car, so you need a PHD in computer stuff to fix most things. My Jag is 20 years old, its an x350 XJR, and it cost me £4250 about 7 years ago and when new was £65000. Goes very well for a 20 year old Jag but what keeps me awake at night is the air suspension as the dampers are £750 a corner and the electronic parking brake is another. The part isn't to bad but you have to drop the rear subframe it replace it and that opens bonus worms! If you fancy one get it, if it breakes nothing you can do but it may not.
  3. What Oring did you upgrade to?
  4. I don't usually answer unknown phone numbers but now and again I do, usually because I am expecting a call that may come through like that, and my faves are " HMRC has opened a case against you" LOL!
  5. We were on holiday in Wales a few years back and there was a wood burning stove thingy in the lounge. Next thing my wife shouts that there is something in the wood burner and it was a bat. We tried for hours with various charities to get someone to get it out but nothing. In the end we let it go on a towel and took it outside. I put some water by it and after a drink it flew way. TBH never thought about rabies!
  6. No carbon monoxide in car exhaust so it will just warm them up. Use a diesel to give them lung cancer in about 10 years!
  7. Nerdrotic was going to the Welsh comic con in Telford but corona put a stop to that! Manchester would be good, for me lol
  8. All Hail the Fellowship. I missed his UK visit because the meetup was in That London. They will be more central next visit so I hope to go then. LOL What a Nerd
  9. Yep. Physical media is the future, get it while you still can. Dont throw things at your screen. Gary at Nerdrotic did that and broke a $500 screen on a stream. It was funny to watch when he lost it over something to do with Disneys Galactic Starcruiser hotel.
  10. I stopped watching Dr Who when the first female Dr, played by Jodie Wittaker, who we will lovingly call Dr Karen took over. It was utter drivel after that full of intersectional feminism, climate cobblers and a hefty dose of Trump derangement syndrome. Even the reviewers I watch on Youtube are done with it. I like to play a game if I happen to find the TV is on the bbc news ,seeing how long they can go in each article before saying climate change, or as I like to call it The Weather! Oh and it is not very long usually.
  11. We had a neighbour that said alarms were a waste of time. All the houses around him had alarms or boxes on the wall, guess which house got broken into 3 times! A clue, it wasn't the houses with alarms.
  12. I don't think there are many cars that come with a proper spare now. It's all to do with weight savings and MPG. The works van has a full size spare, but no jack, but it is a rental till the new one arrives at some distant point in the future. I don't suppose it is safe to run a full loded van on a space saver or with it full of snot.
  13. I phoned them up and down to 274. It was available quite a bit cheaper with the comparison sites but they were all the same company I have never heard of.
