Fed up now...

BMW Z4 receiving encouragement in the jammed starter division by chap & his partner, one to hit it with hammer, the other to turn the key.

Point of order ... that would be to free the stuck solenoid rather than the starter itself

Unless of course you were using the generic term "starter" to mean the starter and solenoid

Just to correct myself it could be the starter gear stuck in the engine ring gear - in which case rocking back and forward would free it rather than striking with a hammer

Morning.

Om. Om.

Urgh.

I used to have a Series 3 Landrover that required much the same treatment. I kept a hammer and a length of broom handle in the cab for just that purpose. The broom handle because the starter was out of reach of the hammer otherwise.

Odd it was labelled as a 150 'super luxury'. I'll have another go.

Pictures PICTURES!

Have you sought approval from the lizardly one to sully his thread with piccys?

Actually not a bad idea.... now if I can just capture that lady in a state of undress in the flats

Feckin iPod lost it's power meaning I had to endure the conductor (or "Onboard Manager" as they call them these days) making the usual banal announcements followed immediately by the pre recorded announcements saying exactly the same thing - seriously stfu

Can now see the river as we go over the Medway bridge = dawn will be close behind

No naked laydeeze on view this morning - think they have worked out how to use the blinds

Not accosted by any Life of Brian inspired beggars while walking along St Pancras

No big issue sellers

Massed contingent of spinner bag wheelers cluttering up both St Pancras approaches and the Underground - including the classic two bag wheelers .. they have become the pedestrian equivalent of caravan towers.. and should be shot

Feck it's Monday again

[alreadypacked]

First day on the bench, have not been outside yet

Strange but true tales - I caught an earlier train than usual on the high Speed into St Pancras.
Next to the tracks on the approach to the platforms there are lots of shiny new flats being built, some of which are occupied.
Being nosey I was clocking the décor of the flats as we passed, and in one was a naked woman getting dressed, and seemingly oblivious to the 7:36 rumbling past her window

The 7:36 will now become my regular train

Morning.

Grey.

Dark.

Surprisingly dry.

Colder.

Not wet.

Train on time at 7 minutes late.

Skool clearly in view from Alex Rd.

Hill steep.

Bin bag mountains increasing. Foetid bin bag mountain untouched.

Pavement art overn, hob & single drainer sink still in place.

Wednesday.

Om. Om. Om.

Nearly Friday.

Om. Om.

Urgh.

You not seeing dawn yet on your travels into work in deepest darkest Wales ?
