On reflection…

So: a couple of weeks have passed and I’ve reflected on my attitude to New Yorkers… And decided to stick with my original analysis! The poisonous harridan at the ‘Broadway venue’ is still the worst example, but apocryphal reports from others tend to back up my opinion about Americans in… Continue reading →

New York, New York…

So: I’ve been there and don’t feel the need to ever return. However, as a married man, I’m not actually ‘Mistress of my own fortune’ in this matter… It was… interesting. To see for myself some of those places I’ve only ever seen depicted through the distorting lens of the… Continue reading →

A summer to remember (but not necessarily for the right reasons…)

It’s been, as they say, a ‘funny old year’ (so far). It started off miserable, cold and wet, became hot and dry for weeks and weeks, and now has turned back to more typically British summer weather (i.e. cool and damp). Once more, the threat of imposing a hosepipe ban… Continue reading →

It’s tough up ‘North’

Today’s whinge is about the NEC.  I expect it’s all been said before, but I was never averse to a bit of plagiarism… The other night we had the delight of going to see Bryan Adams, but this is not about his concert, except to say it was superb –… Continue reading →

The season of mellow fecklessness

So, Autumn is here – or, to be more precise, has come and largely gone. Trees are mainly bare of leaves as the Government is mainly bare of ideas. Instead, they stir the same old bullsh*t round the same old pot and try to convince us that something has changed. … Continue reading →

More on the CR-V and welcome to Greenflag

So, after several weeks, we got the word that the CR-V was fixed.  It was going to cost us a smidge under £1K.  Eek! Drove up to Colchester in the ‘2nd car’ and collected CR-V.  All seemed well.  Off to the Smoke for a weekend at Brett’s workshop.  Back to… Continue reading →

Toyota woes.

There’s a story circulating that Toyota’s unexpected acceleration problems may be caused by cosmic rays.  Seems like BS to me: Cosmic rays cause random problems with computers.  It would be extremely odd if any significant number of these caused a car to accelerate uncontrollably.  For this to happen, the hardware… Continue reading →

Honda CR-V woes and worse from the RAC

Well, it’s been a hell of a week!  Problems started last Friday, when we arrived at Mo’s mum for a long weekend.  A warning light came on on our Honda CR-V: ‘engine fault’.  Great.  Limped to Inchcapes in Colchester who diagnosed a faulty Glow Plug control unit/relay.  None in stock. … Continue reading →
