Seems a bit overkill to have a 4 bed cabin for one person. They don’t, except if you go luxury really.  I don’t care, though, and 28 hours sounds like hell sitting on a chair. The cabins are spacious if you only use one bed, I had a lovely trip coming here. Way better than the one me and Sofia had going from Santander to Plymouth. Also, get one with a window, made it really enjoyable! Big difference, between using the trip to come out of the boat fresh and rested compared to broken. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â The only logic I see in this...he's gonna rent a room with 4 bunks and rent them out at a discount price to un -expecting strangers...I bet some of them will be looking at the port window has a mean of escape by the end of the 28 hours.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nute Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 If there is one thing that pisses me off it's going to undo a screw/nut/bolt and finding the thing has rusted to the point you have to get the angle grinder out. The reflector on the number plate on my Indian is held on with a mild steel nyloc, which, as it gets all the shit the rear wheel flings up, is completely rusty ... on a 4 year old bike. The extra cost for a stainless M5 nyloc has got to be like 2 cents so why the fuck not use one. Checked it over and there are various other bits where the same applies so ive just ordered £30 of A2/A4 replacements ... My old Yamaha MT07 had a mild steel swing arm, with a crappy thin coat of paint on it which got shot blasted by all the crap kicked up off the rear wheel and went rusty. It was still in warranty when I noticed it so I had it replaced. When I asked if they were going to replace it with something better the answer was no, just the same crap. When the replacement came in to the dealer I arranged to pick it up and take it off to get powder coated. Took it back in to them and they then fitted it.  Why is everything so shit ... rant over, as you were... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcel Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Just getting back from the Vet...been dealing with my dog for a solid month trying to care for for it...she's 13 years old....to me it looked like somekind of cancer growth inside her left ear...some days she appeared ok and some she would scratch till it was bleeding....tell you the thruth...I was reluctant to take her to the vet...cause I didn't want to put the dog down...and in my mind...that's what I was figuring what the Vet would tell me to do... Called about a month ago...for and appointment....it's ridiculous around here...take that long to get and appointment....or you can call and emergency # where they spank you for 200 bucks even before seeing the dog...and you're talking to a chat bot when they first take your information....lol. We use to have local and privately family owned veterinary clinics...but now it's one of those chain stores Vet clinic... Make a long story short...this Sunday I made my mind to take her in....found a private owned vet clinic just on the quebec border and heard they will look at the dog...they give you one of those electric buzzer and you wait outside till it rings...
