Another 'bleeding obvious' headline from the Sun. If you stop building any sort of stuff then people can't buy it.

She must have been quite amused, with all the sprogs they churned out.

Omega General Help / Re: Oil cooler from ACS Parts
« on: 29 June 2025, 13:31:21 »When I changed the timing belt I could see some limestone deposits around the thermostat box and the cooler plate. I have no oil in water yet, but I really want to avoid any cooling issue as I'm using the car to travel through France once every two months, from north west to south east (total of 2400kms).That's quite a trek for a near 30 year old car. Fair play to you.
Mine is a '96, pretty sure it's not stainless steel.

« on: 28 June 2025, 10:25:57 »My neighbour has a Ford Focus estate if you're sticking with Ford they're really quite spacious now, but I believe that they have theseI think that's the 'Eco Boost' engine. 1.1, 1.5 and 1.6 litre are the ones to avoid. If any of those are coupled to the Powershit (no, that's not a spelling mistake) auto gearbox, then you're potentially in a whole world of pain.
"wet belts" which appear to be problematic.

« on: 24 June 2025, 22:37:00 »Awesome singer👍. I’m over the top with my system….. I have two 15inch loaded bass bins and on top two each of 15 inch and horn loaded speakers too. So two 6ft columns each side powered by a V4 Technics SU650, refurbished upgraded with new caps etc, needless to say AC back in black gets the windows almost falling out, and I don’t mean mine🤣🤣🤣Bet the neighbours really love you Rae.

Some digital signals are patchy where sound and vision are out of sync especially on streaming. Makes identifying any fake AI generated stuff even harder.

If reports are true, that ceasefire didn't last long. That's if it ever started at all.

« on: 22 June 2025, 11:45:07 »Very sorry to read this, but now is the time to improve your cooking skills, we're all guilty of taking our other halves for granted sometimes, wishing her a speedy recovery, I hate paying to park anywhere & hospitals come top of the list.I get what your saying, but she loves cooking so, being a lazy sod i left her to it.
When she had the kids, two were home births, those were the days, i did the cooking as bed rest was the order of the day. I'm talking of over 55 years ago now. Now they're back on the coal round a few hours of dropping 'em.
Anyway, the freezer is stacked so it would be rude not to use it. she can fill it up again when she gets out if she wants, or not if she can't be arsed.

Thanks for all your kind words fella's. She has now just been moved onto the cardiac ward, en suite room, comfy bed and a telly. She reckons she's been in worse hotels.

Yesterday, running into today really. Spent over 6 hours in West Suffolk Hospital yesterday evening. Got away, finally at gone 1am. Unfortunately ,had to leave SWMBO behind in there. Having some frightening angina attacks yesterday so was sent to hospital by our Drs. surgery after an ECG late afternoon.
Got the dreaded phone call about an hour later, get her up to A&E post haste. After various tests and retests, they said sorry, you ain't going anywhere tonight. She hates hospitals anyway but was wheeled off to the Acute Assessment Unit and bedded down for the night.
Went to see her this afternoon and she is now stabilised and no more episodes, but she does have to have a course of blood thinning injections over the next five days. Bugger this i thought, who's going to cook my tea? The freezer stocks will take a bit of a hammering over the next few days.
Oh, the parking cost me nearly £16 too.
Vinci, bloody thieves.

A very helpful hgv driver blocked lanes 1 and 2 for me once he saw what I was trying to do.

Up here in Aviemore it never really gets dark at this time of year. I was up in the Shetlands working for a well known gas turbine company many years ago and it never gets dark.
Yes many moons ago I fell out of a disco in Elgin at some ungodly hour like 3.00am and was shocked that it was light.
