Its a beautiful day out side, but I'm stuck waiting for my wife's birthday present to be delivered.

Will it arrive today, I have no idea, it was dispatched Monday, part 1 arrived in the normal mail yesterday.

Why does my car run out of electricity on days the garage is closed... Lady P was meant to head off in my car this morning to go up to Shropshire but all she got was click click click when she pushed the Start button. If the RAC put the wrong battery in it the other week when it died on a Sunday morning I'll be cross but there is probably a drain or charging issue somewhere Hopefully the charger is doing the trick so I can get it to the garage in the morning.

And it's raining. And I have a bit of a hangover from last night's leaving drinks (I was the one who left).

On balance it's not really my day.

Yes, the charger was on it for about eight hours and it reluctantly started this afternoon. Just got to hope the garage can squeeze me in tomorrow or will let me leave it with them to start on it on Tuesday.

When I unplugged the charger I found the reel of the extension cable had filled with rainwater but luckily nothing seems to have shorted out...

Will a reg/rec from a CBR 600 fit it?

Coughing, sneezing, and generally feeling like crap.

I took last week and this week off work and have had 1 rain free day so far. The next few days don't look much better either.

Know exactly what you mean. I'm on my first day between contracts and was looking forward to a few days in the garden, go out on the bike, other outdoorness and such, but no, it's raining for the rest of the week...
