don’t you just love it, when you are riding in a hilly area, blue sky with nice fluffy white clouds ahead, only to go round a corner to come face on to angry looking black clouds…then the feckers light up :jawdrop …and they look like they are at the same height as you :jawdrop :jawdrop





Mind you, the only thunder I heard was in my underpants :log :log

Helping a mate that was wondering if the rear door can be opened from inside, of his newly purchased commercial vehicle.

The conversation was something like this...

“here are the keys Dave, I will just go inside and try to open the door from inside”

In he goes, I close the door
He opens it by pushing a remote button on the inside of the vehicle.

Has he was climbing out, I said “hold on, lets see if it works when it is locked”

“ok”

Close the door again, I pressed on the remote control alarm.

“bye bye” I said, while walking away and entered the works building :biggrin2

But then the noisy tw$t moved and set off the alarm, but he could not get out.



Bugger, better not inconvenience anyone else and stop the alarm sounding, which unlocked the door and he got out :(

That reply is a bit bitter and twisted :cry2 :cry2

Especally as the "locked in" person was not identified :biggrin2

See, I said it was a bugger that I had to let him out :log :log :log

Nikwax (and the smell of it)

Great stuff

Glad that during a recent camping trip I recoated my boots one evening

Today, the leather parts of my boots are bone dry, well the outside is, a wee bit of dampness where the water came in over the top :log :log



So all you newbie’s...get your fingers into some Nikwax and waterproof those boots

...wondering which cross city route to take, then having a great run thru the traffic at rush hour, hardly stopping, traffic log jammed at roundabouts making it easier to “filter”, just catching the traffic light at green and the cars generally keeping to the left keeping a free route clear :2up

I have never had such an easy time thru the city as last night, from South Collage street to Dyce, greatly enjoyed it :2up :log :log :2up
