You have my sympathy, this is what happens to me nearly every time I get a 'simple' cold.

If you had what I had, its a nasty bug, luckily I caught mine in time with the antibiotics.

Next time this old git tells you not to ride, then heed my words

I know, I know. Hangs head in shame for not listening. He says that but I've got a dicky stomach (antibiotics) but I'm going out tomorrow come hell or high water.

Just take it gentle.

Me today's gripe is I've pulled a shoulder muscle, making driving difficult, as turning my head at junctions is bloomin painful.

My Garmin falling off at 30mph. It's survived and works but a bit scuffed. I had to wave at a car to stop him running over it.

Driving the Impreza to Diss yesterday. Suddenly the steering got really heavy and I'm 5 miles from home. After shopping I drive the 10 miles home heaving at the wheel every time I need to turn. Broken auxiliary drive belt found under the bonnet. Certainly built up my muscles driving it without power steering.

However, I don't think it's too bad. It's a 98 model and I've had it from new. The belt has lasted for 18 years so I can't really complain. Subaru engineering.

Parking sensors are a requirement of my company car scheme "for insurance purposes".
