He's a tenant and pays the rent.

My gripe today though is anyone who is self righteous, arrogant and usually wrong who posts YouTube videos of other road users errors. Specifically those who use the phrase "I have a camera, it's all on camera, you're on cameraaaaaa" To which the correct response should be "Why do you have a cameraaaaaa? Does this sort of thing happen to you a lot? Or is it in a vain hope that I will choose not to slap you, you tw***?"

Really wish I hadn't let my MOT elapse this week and now can't find anywhere within a reasonable distance to get one done on a weekend.

I know how you feel.My M8 Adam who had a great little bike shop/MOT station only about half a mile down the road from me has retired and sold his shop.Next year I'll have to find somewhere new.This guy was the danglies.Built custom Harleys as a hobby and road them.Real,"Old School".Always strict but fair,no BS.When I needed the old TAX disc holder wouldn't even take a quid off me.
If I had a noise on one of my engines I couldn't figure,he'd suss it in seconds<sigh> :/

Looks like I will either have to take a day off or book it well in advance for a Saturday, or just don't forget it's about to elapse!

You've got an Android phone.I use a great free Calender app called,"S-Planner" but can't find it on Google play now.I can send you the .apk if you want it.I put reminders in like a week or two before I need to do things like MOT/Insurance etc.

I use a midi music file of the,"Average White Band" ,"Pick Up The Pieces"as the ring tone<grin>

I'm also a musician so like to funk with tings

The weather. I picked up my new bbq on Saturday and after spending over an hour swearing at the rubbish instructions it is now built and the cast iron grill plates are properly seasoned and ready for use. Trouble is it has been flippin freezing and/or drizzling ever since...

I miss DOS too, particularly DRDOS. What I don't miss is trying to work with PDP-11. VMS was bad but PDP-11 was a nightmare. I never really got a handle on it.
