    I’m supposed to be heading south tomorrow as it’s my Mum’s birthday; she’s been vaguely unwell this past week, so we’re not going out, just gathering at home. So I went out to the car to make sure the tyre pressures, oil, and so on were OK and… it’s got a flat tyre

    Nearside rear, and when I tried attaching the electric pump to it, it couldn’t get it above 14psi, and it went completely flat again in short order when the pump was turned off

    There’s a spare, but I’m not trying to do anything right now as it’s pitch black out there, the area where I park being buried in the middle of the block surrounded by houses taller than the streetlights. Also, I’ve never changed a wheel, so it might be better to Green Flag it again; but I’m not going to ask them to try to do anything out there in the dark either.

    So I either try to change the wheel myself in the morning, call Green Flag out to change it and hope they don’t leave me waiting for hours, or forget about it until Monday and get the train
    Tell the people in the chinese you will only carry on ordering with them if they change your wheel?

      That is what appeals to me in TV. Often re-runs are good.

        MrsBP cooked a bad dinner tonight. First time in years. I felt it best to tell her. She did not deny it was very average. But she was clearly not happy.

        She is now playing Cluedo with the twins.

          For lunch today I met a friend at Casa do Frango by Borough Market. Well I say friend, its more charity on my behalf. 6 hours of drivel!

            It’s starting to rain out - just a hint of fine drizzle at the moment, but it’s in the post

              had an excellent lunch recently with a good pal, his wife, and teenage twin daughters.
              they can be rather disconcerting and entertaining, so they can.

                Tea was spag bol with orange segments and custard for sweet, rounded off with 1.05 pints of good Glengettie tea.

                Finished "Shot in the Dark", the last five minutes or so being outrageously funny in a sort of way.

                Now watching "Broadsword to Danny Boy" which I appear to have paid £6 for at some time or other.

                It's not exactly what one might term gripping.

                And it's looooong.

                An hour and 10 minutes left.

                Had a "ready to eat" Mango earlier, Morrisons, reduced, 28p.

                It was rather nice.

                Inevitably flossing was required thereafter.

                Clint is offing Nazis left right & centre.

                It's rather ironic it's about German penetration of MI6 when in real life it was Stalin's Englishmen in their traitorous way.

                    As they had to cancel all their deliveries a few weeks ago after the delivery driver tried unsuccessfully to drive through a flood, I’m not sure I’m ready to trust them with matters mechanical

                      Sadly the the iPlayer app does not allow one to link multiple installations to a single network source. As WTFH said, the downloads are tied to the hardware so each installation will only see what's been downloaded to that particular bit of kit.

                      It's a tad annoying, seeing as you have to log in to download anything.
