    EV are they worth it?

    Anyone crazy enough to still be considering buying an EV should watch Lee Mack's video, and see if they still want to put their nadgers through the blender afterwards in the name of net zero. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

    What have you bought today?

    I bet you'll be in the gym using the machines. Twix out of one, Kitkat out of another. :giggle:

    I was going to say Ramavan, but thought I might get into trouble. ;)

    Disposing of coolant

    Just pour it down the foul water drain. It's oil that should never be tipped down drains or into any water course.

    What have you been doing today?

    Yes, Tesco still out there. No EU passport, but still got my Czech residency card from 2019, pre Brexit. Would have to go for French residency eventually, but I can survive on the CZ card for now. Still have old parents so bouncing back between France and UK for a while yet.

    What have you been doing today?

    No, did consider, but found the winters brutal. Place I was staying couple of years ago was near Ostrava where it was almost minus 20 this winter. Also the food can be a bit death defying - everything is laden with fat and salt and not great quality. Even in places like Tesco, the quality is...

    Thanks, yes heard of it - looks very nice. Haven't spent too much time in Dordogne - can be quite English in some parts. Though I do like Bergerac, nice old town and some great pubs and restaurant. Even a good Indian, which is rare in these parts.

    Ramadan?

    What are you having for breakfast?

    Maybe something containing only lips and arzholes has a very long shelf life and can be stored any old way. :idea:

    Pre-Diabetes

    Good luck with your diet, but you may want to consider giving you weight in old money. The smaller number sounds much less in stones. But it's still almost two of me. :oops:;);)

    Dipping toe into painting

    May lose a toe or two if the jack slips off the brake disc. :giggle:

    What have you been doing today?

    A little bit to get by. Have picked up what I need from many regular visits over the years. Really tough language being Slavic, some similarities to Russian, but the alphabet in Czech is same as us - unlike Russian. Just to complicate things Czechs also have male and female. There's four...

    What have you been doing today?

    Sat out in sun in afternoon in shorts only on deck at B&B overlooking rolling fields and horses quietly grazing. Spring in full flow, blossom out and alive with bird and insect life. I'm in Lot & Garonne department near town of Fumel. In evening went to a bar for couple of halves (everyone...

    What have you bought today?

    A pub I used years ago, the landlord had a cordless phone. The handset was usually lying on the back bar, and the base station was at the end of the bar within reach of customers. Forget how many hours of fun we used to have pushing the 'find phone' button on the base station that was a function...

    What have you been doing today?

    Get back on the phone to Argos and demand a head honcho to sort it out. Your contract is with them, not the manufacturer. Up to them to replace. Sainsburys aren't Argos, they just act as drop off and collection point for Argos parcels as Argos are closing their own shops. You'll have a wasted...

    Pre-Diabetes

    That's true. When I was a lot bigger 30 years ago I was always hot. Never had radiator on in bedroom in winter and always opening windows. Now I'm a lot more wirey (skinny) I need to be a lot warmer.

    What are you drinking tonight?

    Like Martini.......................any time, any place, anywhere. No, I woke up for a Jimmy and couldn't get back to sleep. Came on here to relieve boredom until I felt sleepy again. Reading my own posts does that. :sleep: Remembered the beer I had seen in supermarket earlier, the name...

    Speedo Malfunction

    Can't quantify the drop in MPG, but just feel that the needle on gauge goes down a bit quicker. Maybe it's just me. Only marginal, not ruinous. My idling is ok, just a little hesitant and less smooth when moving up lower gears accelerating. At 120 KPH on the autoroute don't notice any difference.

    Speedo Malfunction

    When I get back I may get my ramps out and see if I can get access to the sensor that way. May be worrying unnecessarily about access. If it's a real mare I might bite the bullet and go to one of those hire a 2 post lift by the hour places. There's one in Cheltenham, not too far from Bristol. I...

    What are you having for breakfast?

    Thanks I'm going to try that. No doubt as it's good for you it will taste disgusting. Wanted to get some sauerkraut too. Looked ib Asda recently and the stuff they had included too many ingredients. Think the best ones for gut only have 2 ingredients = cabbage + salt. Apparently anything else in...
