JamesD Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Found out today that I am missing out on the 3 hour PE endurance race at the end of the month because I have a bachelor party (one of the "best men???" so cannot not go) and then missing out on the 3hour endurance race in Cape Town the following weekend because of the Wedding! Thats two events my little Birkin would have done really well in. Balls... So a very apt thread to pop up now. Hope the root canal goes well ramjet.

Jacques Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Got rather pissed when I was told, that the local administration in the town hall have decided to close Down my Work place in august 2016. We'll fight to stay alive untill then at least. But trying to convince politicians? That is harder than trying to talk over a thief not to rake a bag of Money at the street.... pigs! Jacques.

ramjet Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 I've heard of siphoning petrol Dan, but brake fluid? Some people must be pretty desperate.

Jacques Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Windows 8 and 8.1. It's so bad made that it simply cries to the Heavens. Seriously, it's a load of crap. I wan my old 7 back, but cannot install it on my Work pc. ARGH!!! What on Earth does stupid children smart phones have to do on a pc? Right: NOTHING! Get those stupid sliding date and time, changed menus and tiles OUT OF MY PC! Microsnot, get your act together and finetune win 7. Man, I am looking forward to win 10 (to be like win7) or I will set fire to my original win 8 software and record that on video for youtube. Mocrosnot lost it, they don't get it, and they developed something so far away from being usefull, that they deserved to be closed Down forever.

ChrisJ Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Try this - Classic Shell - returns the "proper" start menu. At first I was like you - I thought it was a stupid, stupid change. However, I switched at home as I wanted to use the latest Visual Studio, and it required W8 for phone software development. I've grown to like it and I've switched all our home PCs over to it - although still on XP at work. The only thing that pisses me off about it is IE11 - you cannot paste into posts - I'm having to use FireFox for this reply as the link above won't paste in IE, and it also crashes when viewing videos.

Gold FFM johnpwalsh Posted November 9, 2014 Gold FFM Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 As it's Sunday afternoon here on Sunshine Island and we have come just enjoyed another superb Sunday lunch of Roast Beef with all the trimmings, home roasted potatoes, home made Yorkshire puddings and mushy peas and fresh mixed vegetables, this we all sat down and ate as one big happy family, this was directly after our traditional Sunday visit to the local church for our weekly service which was carried in in English, Kazkhak, Russian, Romanian and Doric we are now going to sit by the open fire with a large glass of Brandy for the men and Port or Wine for the ladies so I thought I would just ping you a quick, Happy Sunday message. Then the wife replies, you idiot you must be dreaming, you are still in Kazakhstan at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold FFM johnpwalsh Posted November 9, 2014 Gold FFM Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 It's strange what boredom can do to the mind especially when you have hopefully only 5 days to get to get back to wet dreich Scotland. Some real food and the Mrs of course, well she wants me home to fix her Elan. One week away from home and she broke it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basalte Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 Tried to take Elite this morning for brakes leak to be fixed. Not expecting starting probs. as none since car was "fixed" and new plugs fitted in Sept. Started fine last Sunday ! Engine "caught" for a few secs then turned over .. and over....and over......wouldn`t start. Fuel pump clicking away uselessly. Noticed I`d left choke out since last drive, wonder if that`s flooded it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
