  1. I avoid towns/Cities nowdays, Nottingham is only 11 miles away, been there once (because I had to go there) in the last 4 years.
  2. Almeria Airport?...... I hired a car there years ago, when we landed there were no car hire kiosks, just a guy sitting with a open briefcase with the car hire logo on it, I thought this looks cheap, I half expected a half rusty Ford Fiesta , but to my surprise it was a nearly new VW Polo Asked the guy what to do with the car at the end of the holiday, he said "leave it in the car park with the keys in the glovebox"....trusting souls. XTreme will tell you the exact distance from Malaga to his gaff, but its a fair way.
  3. Well you know the NHS, anything to save money. He is monitored quite closely, but he is almost 74 now.... maybe the NHS think it would be a waste of resources at his time of life, but there again his mother (in a nursing home) is 101
  4. Mine hasn't need adjusting too........oh wait a minute
  5. My brother in law has been on medication for nearly 3 years, apart from the urinating problem he is OK, but as said, the hospital keeps a very close eye on him.
  6. Brother in law has the same, can't piss, or has to go several times per night, they have tested his PSA (high) and taken biopsies, he is on drugs, they test him quite regularly though, his doc says he is fine at the moment, they also do not want to operate because it could leave him incontinent.
  7. It will definitely have to come out underneath, needs to be up on ramps, lift or have a pit, of which I have none, I can't even do a oil change on the damn thing.
  8. I will wait till it is really slipping, decide what to do to it then. €400 is a good price, £500 for a poxy Renault Clio seems expensive to me, last clutch I changed was in a Cavalier, it was a 20 minute job.
  9. Just rang the garage that does my minor servicing........ parts and fitting....£500
  10. I was hoping for 100,000 miles. at least, should not complain I suppose, still on its original brakes and exhaust....and most of my motoring is in town and short distances
  11. Had the car since it was 3 years old, so I suspect this is the original clutch, it's only slipping going up a hill and i don't change down quickly.
  12. Bloody clutch is slipping very very slightly on the car after only 90,000 miles, fooking rubbish...Good job I don't go far.
  13. 14c here, or there abouts, stopped raining now, having a tug o war with the plant roots.
  14. Iam trying to dig up Red Hot Pokers, they are taking over the garden....i think the roots go down a fair way, because it is a battle I am loosing at the moment.
  15. Central London.....last time I was there was in the 70,s..... it was a shithole back then, i have been to Twickenham and Heathrow in near past, but that was far enough off the M25 for me.
  16. Nooo, just awkward bastids.
  17. No.....the army....twats
  18. Thirsk oh dear, brings back bad memories for me.
  19. It was bloody cold stood on that bridge over the motorway, I never saw a Cube, now I know why.
  20. Going into Mansfield this morning, wife has a appointment at the opticians, will see if she needs new glasses or a white stick and a guide dog..
  21. Weatherman said rain for us, looking out the window, not a cloud in the sky
