General / DVLA reminders
« on: 24 March 2015, 06:59:43 pm »
These may not be being sent out now. I certainly don't recall getting one for my bike last month. It was only because I used the following link to check when the MOT expired I found out the tax had expired.

General / Clarkson
« on: 11 March 2015, 01:42:20 pm »
Now, if any of us punched someone at work we would be fired once people confirmed what happened. IMHO, Clarkson should suffer the same fate so why do so many people laugh it up and want him back on the show?

As for political correctness bollocks that the BBC have been on about, that is Clarkson and the world needs to be less PC in my mind and have a laugh.

Sack him for gross misconduct but forget the rest.

Except they wont will they, they wont sack him as he is a golden goose for them with Top Gear in the current format being sold all over the world.

General / Knackered optimate or fecced battery
« on: 10 March 2015, 10:10:59 am »
Any suggestions how to check an optimate?

Whenever I plug it into the bike it says "DE sulphate" and doesn't seem to charge at all. The battery seems to be ok as in so much as I can tell. It seems to hold a charge and with a jump start will start again after a few miles riding and then start OK for weeks to come. Leave it too long though and as I would expect with an immobiliser/clock etc, the battery gradually dies even though it is connected to the optimate.

I hope he had his Porsche crushed and bollocks removed.

I know that road and even 60mph is dangerous. I used to be a 40mph road until a year or three back but got reduced as 40mph was an issue still for some people.

General / off topic - Pug 208 size
« on: 02 February 2015, 12:49:50 pm »
I cant be bothered going out in the cold and I need to book a hire car for my holiday.

Is the Pug 208 big enough to hold 3 adults in the back seat? According to the rental company web site it is but I never trust them.

General / Feckin foxes
« on: 23 January 2015, 10:07:22 am »
Over the last couple of months I have had all four ABS sensor wires on my van damaged due to the feccers chewing the cables. Bad enough but not as bad as this.

Yesterday I went to use the Mrs car and saw the low brake fluid warning so waited till she got home with some fluid to refil the totally empty resovoir and check for where it must be leaking from. Found a feccin hole chewed in the flexi-hose at the back.Arrhhh.
Today, the Mrs leaves for work in my car and comes back 5 mins later saying the brakes don't feel right. Have a look. No fluid and a hole chewed through one of the front pipes!!!!!!!

Sent the Mrs out with a note to drop off to the neighbours to warn them of the problem and discover that three of them, didn't speak to them all, (out of about 12) have had similar issues in recent months.
All the cars have been damaged whilst parked outside on the road. :(

Now the question.

How can I legally kill the fuckers?????

Garden is too small to deploy my favoured hot lead injection method and apparently its illegal to poison them. My dogs keep them out of my garden too.

General / This week is getting better
« on: 24 June 2014, 04:06:47 pm »
Having started the week on a downer (cremating my grandmother) I have had two bits of good news today. Just waiting for the third :)

First, having had a running battle with Hoover Candy to fix our three year old Baumatic oven they have agreed to replace it with a brand new one

And second, My youngest son has been selected as one of the two students from his school to do the WW1 battlefield trip that the UK government is sponsoring for every school to do this year.

Come on #3, your time is almost up.

General / Eurotunnel - Does anyone on here work for them?
« on: 12 June 2014, 09:00:59 am »
I recently booked on there with a van and was told that if I filled the van more than half full (3 cubic meters) I would have to go on the freight service even though the van was full of personal stuff for our place out there.

Seems discriminatory as the reason given was fire safety etc but they allow cars towing box trailers on the passenger service even though those trailers can be bigger than 3 cubic metres.

I have sent an email to them asking why but thought I might get a more sensible (or funnier) answer here.

General / Why?

Why would you do it but more importantly, why the hell did he get done? He was doing it in private and its not like the bike was complaining :pokefun

General / That was hard work
« on: 02 June 2014, 11:22:04 am »
Bought this bike for my son a week or two back for when his licence becomes derestricted in August.
http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,13186.0.html 

Till then, I thought I would get it insured to have a hoot on myself. Have you see how hard it is to insure a bike not registered in your own name? Assuming it's all registered to me, £80. Registered to my son £250+ with many companies not quoting. Ended up getting it added to my other policy via Hastings Direct who actually understood what was going on but did have a bit of a wobble when I mentioned a non-standard exhaust can.

FFS, how many Ford Focus have a standard exhaust pipe after 15 years??

« on: 07 February 2014, 04:53:12 pm »
what's worth watching then? For the Summer Olympics it was the women's beach volleyball but what is there to entice me to sit in front of the TV watching crappy sports from Russia?

General / Rain rain and even more rain
« on: 17 January 2014, 10:15:32 am »
I cannot remember a time in my life where it has rained so heavily for so long as we have had in recent weeks.

Near where I live, many roads are flooded and unpassable in a normal car. I have lived in this area now for over 25 years and cannot remember some of the locations that are flooded today having ever flooded before.

General / Bad weather and flooding
« on: 30 December 2013, 01:16:35 pm »
Having seen a bit of flooding etc over the past few days I cant help but think it would not have been anywhere near as bad if the councils did 2 things.

1. Maintain the roads properly. There is too much standing water on the roads because the council do a shoddy job at repairing a resurfacing meaning it doesn't drain properly.
2. Clean the drains once in a while. Most of the flooding was because the water couldn't get down the drains nit just the volume of it. OK I know that some was due to rivers bursting their banks etc but a good proportion of it round Sussex was nowhere near a river.

While we are on the topic, the number of people complaining that the electricity companies were slow to fix the supplies. Don't they realise when this has happened before they called in engineers from Ireland and France to help but both those countries got stuffed by the storms too so were a bit too busy to send any spare engineers over.
