unofix Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Not Happy, not happy at all !!!! Went out this morning to do a favor for a friend and on the way there I ran over what seemed like a flat bit of metal, about the size and shape of a tea tray. Now I have TWO very flat tyres both on the nearside. Looks like whatever it was that I ran over has punctured my tyres 🙁 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes indeed. 👍 By a strange bit of good luck I have a couple of new sensors in my spares cabinet 🤣 At least it wasn't the wheel that I'd just changed the sensor on, if it had been I'd have been even more annoyed.

Should have another spare one arrive to put in your spares cabinet early next week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cjr7z907ndlo Not looking forward to tomorrow's flight out of Birmingham. Been chaos this week with passengers missing flights due to ongoing security improvements causing very long delays. In complete contrast to our experience at East Midlands in January when the place looked closed . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Went through in 10 mins. Obviously got there act together after the chaos of earlier in the week. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Flew on a faulty aircraft, announced no Aircon while waiting to push back , then there was trouble starting the engines. Got the first engine going then reved that up shaking the aircraft. That obviously got enough compressed air to get 2nd one going . When we landed and stopped engines everything went dark and emergency lighting came on. All sounded like aux power unit fault. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomsFocus Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Here's an interesting one... On a short walk around the block I found a knife in the road. Fairly large kitchen prep type knife. Not the sort of thing anyone should be carrying innocently in public. May have dropped from a house clearance skip or something...but seems more likely connected with crime, potentially used to hold up a co op or petrol station and discarded from a car window. Surprisingly I can't find any way to report this online. It's not covered under any of the specific crimes that can be reported. I can't use phones to call 101 and can't travel to the local station. I didn't pick it up as A - I didn't have any gloves or tissue, and B - didn't want to be seen carrying a massive knife along the pavement! I'll take a glove next time I go out and chuck it in the nearest dustbin if no one else moves it in the meantime. Interested to know what anyone else would have done with it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Y Posted Saturday at 06:25 AM Share Posted Saturday at 06:25 AM I don't like that my time volunteering at the heritage railway came to an end yesterday after 9 months and 200+ hours. Unfortunately there's nothing I can do about the situation either so will now be taking a few months out to focus on myself. It seems that being autistic is a huge issue for me and some other people. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to see that Nick. Obviously can't comment on your particular case, but I do know of several people who have ended their support, financial and otherwise, for that organisation as they disagreed with the way things were going, so I wouldn't necessarily assume you were the issue. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of places I'd like to go (if a miracle occurs) but never really considered Spain as I can't stand the heat. Just wondering if it's about some of the experiences or more about just relaxing in the sun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poss a silly question, do you, they come under disability discrimination legislation and a breach ? Sue their AR5E if not for yourself but anyone that comes after. Dont dwell or get mad, GET EVEN, people know never to cross me without reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
