Its not just motor insurance they try to rip you off on at renewal.

Now I know why the radio in my car stopped working while I was cleaning it yesterday...

Went to head out this morning to stock up the wine rack - always a pleasant job. Odd, the car won't unlock. Wandered around it pressing the button, nothing. Went back in and got the spare - same result. Fished the little key stub out of the fob (push button start so you only need it for cases like this) and could I get the door open? No... Fished out some pliers and, oh, it turns the other way to unlock manually but there was no way I could have done that by hand! No dash lights, nothing. Multimeter across the battery and it's only showing 8 volts. Fudge.

The moral of the story is don't find you have a dead battery on a Sunday as everywhere that will have a battery for a Focus with stop/start will be shut. Apparently it's a more beefy unit and is not normally kept in stock. Hey ho, I'll shirk from home tomorrow and borrow Lady Poppy's car when she gets home to pop out to Eurocarparts who have them on the shelf, behind a locked (on a Sunday) door.

ps, I got the wine using Lady P's car so it's not too bad.

Back at work after a few months off with a broken leg.
On light duty but still painful.
You know something's wrong when you are supposed to be well enough to work but you're still unable to ride your bike.

Lazy people who come to work to do nothing.

Sometimes I wish I worked on my own, in fact today I may as well have for the amount of work my colleagues did.

The ar5e in the blue audi who seemed determined to indulge in a willy waving contest with me on my ride into Shrewsbury this morning. Pillock.
