travelintrev Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Morning all, Ian, glad to hear that things went as well as could be expected, just (from experience) don't try and bottle the tears.. Now geographically half way through my trip...not to much rail wise today, apart from a stuffed & mounted SW1000 & a couple of caboose's . Pics later. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonBradley Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) Well I waited, and waited and waited until the cricket started afterr 9:00 my time. I watched some early wickets fall (Levy with first ball!) But then went to bed (Where is a "snooze" smiley?) On the news this morning said there was no decision. What does that mean? Did rain again terminate play? O.K. Heard another news bulletin which explained all. Next game tomorrow. I hope it's earlier but since it's a week day it will probably be the sam.

gordon s Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Morning all..... Sat glued to the TV watching Murray until 2.45am and still bloomin' woke up at 6.30. Brilliant game and it great to see another hoodoo laid to rest. 76 years since a Brit won a grand slam tennis event and it really was 5 hours of hell with massive swings in the fortunes of both players.

Robert Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Morning all, Glad yesterday went as well as can be expected Ian. The weather is a tad gloomy here today. Plus, I've got a day of testing to look forward to! Have a good one everybody... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium skipepsi Posted September 11, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 11, 2012 Morning all, decided long ago Murray played better when I didn't watch so when he was 2 up in the fifth I went to sleep. Great that he went on to win, not before time but the sideshow Bob nickname bites the dust. After last nights rain we have a sunny start to today but it is chilly.

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted September 11, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 11, 2012 Morning all. Sunny and quite breezy here though I have been told it will rain later. We have too many pears, tomatoes and courgettes to just pick and eat at the moment so I'll be cooking for freezing today. Spiced pears poached in cider, and I'll make something like ratatouille. Aditi got the other ingredients yesterday. She has decided this year she really is going to take a breakat lunchtime and has been exploring the shops in Stratford. The newsagent sells nice aubergines. Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDolfelin Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 'Sideshow Bob' was more to do with his hairstyle than his play. Autumn's here. Rained all day yesterday. Sun at the moment.

RMweb Premium Sidecar Racer Posted September 11, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 11, 2012 Morning all , weather , undecided , hazy sun and grey cloud , cooler again . Looks like Mike is bobbing around near Clovelly today , he vanished off the radar yesterday, made me wonder if they were doing ' submarine ' work . Nice to see Murray get his win at last , you cant say he has'nt worked for it . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted September 11, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 11, 2012 First real rain here in many weeks. We do need it as the lawns are looking a bit brown in places, and the weeds are doing better than the grass. Haven't needed to mow in 4 weeks. It might also bring up a bit of grass in the paddock - the horses have needed an extra feed daily for several weeks, plus hay. Grass is a lot cheaper! I have a large bonfire, just waiting to be lit. Sadly, my commune - maybe more authorities generally - has now banned them, citing neighbour-nuisance (not an issue for me, being a bit remote) and environmental aspects. Hmmm. I may need to borrow a trailer to go tot he local dump- or hope the Mayor looks the other way..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixoh8sixoh Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Morning all (just). Network was playing up when I tried to get on earlier, but seems to be ok now after a meeting. Dry and bright but cool in Edinburgh today. Need to get a birthday card for Mum for Saturday, Clintons were rubbish (not to mention overpriced), and Card Factory didn't have anything great. At least I have the presents bought, that's the important bit! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordon s Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Hi Guys....Little tale to tell you. SiL and family came up from Selsey at the weekend. Their Volvo Estate started misfiring a few miles away from us, so they limped here and called the AA to sort it out. They turned up within the hour and spent another hour trying to solve it. It would appear he couldn't get much info from the diagnostic output so gave up and arranged their Relay service to take them home with the car on tow behind. The next day BiL takes it to his local mechanic who changes the Distributor Cap and HT lead and job done.... We really must be in the plug and play world when an AA guy can't even diagnose the simplest of faults if they are unable to get a diagnostic trace. I wonder what they teach 'em these days...... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugd1022 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Afternoon all, Glorious sunshine over the Berks & Hants today, nipped down there after work on the spur of the moment to find a few favourite spotting locations had changed very little since I was last there six years ago, in fact aside from the vegetation being a bit taller and wider, Little Bedwyn still looks as though a Western could appear at any monent on the Down Rivo, or maybe a Westbury stone train... 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted September 11, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 11, 2012 Gordon. Volvos and distributor caps ! Happy days (not). Ours consistently gave trouble at any change in the temperature or if the car wasn't used for a couple of days. I always kept a spare. We had a really fraught holiday in Brittany with it before I realised it was the distributor cap problem. I was convinced we would be coming home on the Relay truck but it behaved perfectly until it nearly stranded us at a right turn across a dual carriage way in Basildon. I sold it for its numberplate. Fortunately cars with distributor caps are a thing of the past to me now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium skipepsi Posted September 11, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 11, 2012 Having got a diesel Zafira I have to say if I was buying one it would be a petrol. Modern exhaust systems seem full of traps for the unwary on diesels and the mpg is not that much better. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BoD Posted September 11, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) Don't eat the blackberries until they are ripe. Do people still pick wild berries? I have walked through masses of blackberries of late, all ripe, all above dog hind quarter level, non picked. Warm blackberry pie, cooked by MiL, using blackberries picked by FiL, was something looked forward to every year in our family. Sadly neither are any longer with us but the pies are still talked about at this time of year. I suspect it might be less onerous to pick the berries from the freezer at the supermarket.

Modern exhaust systems seem full of traps for the unwary on diesels and the mpg is not that much better. Gosh! I've just replaced the back-box on my Skoda Fabia turbodiesel for the first time, at more than 10 years old. AFAIK the rest is ok - otherwise they'd have sold me those bits, too. The naturally-oily nature of diesel should be less destructive on exhausts than petrol, I would have thought? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
