Afternoon Everybody peeps..

Well I had a fun night last night.. We were working at Butlins in Bognor, so we piled in the diesel Bimmer and made our way 170miles out west to the wilds of Somerset.. Good show, noise dancing curtains etc.. no probs.. then set off home.

1/3 way back puncture warning light comes on... Hmm odd, checked pressures few days ago and were all fine.. Stop next services and have a look.. everything looks fine, dark and rainy and 1am so just wanna get home.. reset light and carry on.. get back to the drop off point near Heathrow for a couple of the guys, and setting off hear tyre rumble.. $hit.. stop and check.. bugger almost flat tyre.. ...Ended up at nearest services waiting for 24 hr emergency tyre fitter as:
1) Modern cars rarely have a spare (supposed to have runflats which are awful, don't work and I refuse to buy)
2) I left my spare can of repair foam in the kit car few months ago.
3) My 12v compressor I leave in that car, because it doesn't have a spare, refused to work.
4) Tyre was buggered from driving on it flat to the services.

Got home at 5am.. yippee...

Lets home tonights trip to Cardiff is less eventful... Rock on !!!!! :thumbup:

Unlucky dude! I spent Saturday waiting for dazzle the Labrador to turn up , clearly he must have been on one Friday night as he was nowhere to be seen and uncontactable so we wandered up to the local "Croxley revels" thingy on the green and ate too much ice cream instead, spent this morning playing games with my 2 year old which is always most entertaining and ordered a bulk delivery of shotgun cartridges for Wednesday when hopefully "rob" the labourer will turn up and do the work dazzle didn't :-)

Happy Monday!

I've spent a days flexi-leave in the garage having a bit of a tidy up and working on the mount for my additional gauges. Other than that its been a long, overdue, lazy day at home!

"flexi-leave" - what's that? Not come across the term before, sounds good though!

Worked the day job yesterday, then worked on a freelance project in the evening.
Same Today, though i will be working less in the evening as i'm planning to see Jurassic World at the cinema.

How to post pics: When writing a message, scroll down and use the "attach file" option. Where possible, a photo sharing service can be used such as Flickr, Imgur etc. The image location (usually ending in .jpg) can be copy and pasted between the ][ brackets that appear when you click the 'Img' button (you can find this button at the top of the message box).

How to post youtube vids: Click on the 'youtubeHD' button at the top of the message box and in the middle of the ][ brackets that just appeared, copy and paste everything from the youtube web address that appears after the = sign i.e if this is the url: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2cNqaPSHv0 just copy "K2cNqaPSHv0").
