Re: For fooks sake

Re: 'dash cam' for motorbikes

yes it was to record a possible incident, last time i was knocked off , by a car changing lanes without signalling, it would have been helpful to have a video record. seems like helmet mounting is best then plus a start to finish record. also greater capacity than a 32gb SD card. https://www.ebay.co...

Re: What ails you today?

OK thanks. As you probably know pet insurance and private medical care here is known for clever' get outs', people think they are insured but then the circumstances or the nature of the accident can somehow not be covered due to small print exceptions/ clauses that allow the insurance company to esc...

Re: What are you doing today ??

got a phone call to say that i can take one of my bikes in for a full overhaul, great as it's well in need of attention so charging the battery and cleaning it later, glad i sent the garage guy an xmas card as that may have brought me up the queue a bit.

Re: What ails you today?

if you can get to see a doctor, one of our girls was sick but couldn't get an appointment for 10 days with a doctor, in the end she saw some kind of empowered nurse who was allowed to give out prescriptions up to a certain level.

Re: what's your favourite type of cafe?

somehow a mcdonalds seems to me like a place you maybe drop in on a journey somewhere rather than a pleasant experience where you perhaps pick up the vibe of a place and experience a sense of having been somewhere different.
