Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
[QUOTE=Adam Ef;3124165]Looks like I did 36mph in a 30mph zone at some point recently. I don't remember it at all. The kind people who've sent me the NIP do though. Damn. Will this be a fine / points?[/QU
I was exactly the same. Depends where you were caught ( or at least it did but maybe not now if course is done remotely) Dorset and Hampshire are not in the national speed awareness course programme. Unfortunately I was caught in Dorset and as I live in Yorkshire I took the £100 fine and 3 points. If you can, do the speed awareness course. Last edited by svenrico; 08-01-21 at 04:33 PM. |

My gripe of today. Camera batteries Despite having 3 different Canon battery chargers, not one of them fits the battery I'm trying to charge, and I can't find the specific charger! Although I tried charging it via USB, but its not charging, so the battery is probably knackered anyway. Ordered a compatible battery & charger via Amazon, so hopefully I'll be able to use it for photo a day 2021

But first we will keel-haul him (had to google that one, I'm a convert!) and replace all his bikes with a new parralel twin SV with the fork seals fitted upside down and a concrete cast seat

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
A minor gripe in the big scheme of things, tv related (again). Over the years I've been following a couple of US tv series: 'The 100' and 'Marvels: Agents of Shield' both were shown on E4 and both series were on their last season but E4 has decided it won't show either. Both series have been shown in the US last year and E4 normally shows them in the September of the year they're shown in the US.
I'd mentioned previously about maybe joining Netflix but, apparently, they're not showing them either, presumably because E4 still has the rights.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Getting a lot of scam texts just lately. Got one from HSBC saying a payee had been added to my account and to click a link to agree/deny andnone just now from Paypal to click another link. How about no.
