Another ace day!!!!

I spent an hour trying to sort the car lights out, but I had to wait for the flood in the back garden to go anyway before I could unblock the drain. That was after trying to fix both hoovers, managed to get one working... Now it looks like I'm going to be buying yet another washing machine, this time for my mother, hers is leaking now!... Jeez, theres not enough hours in a day to sort out all the crap.

Klarus E1 almost perfect EDC torch.

It's been a while since a torch review so here's one. The Klarus E1 the almost perfect EDC torch (EDC every day carry). I've spent a lot of time and money over the years looking for the perfect torch to carry everyday, this is probably about as close as I'm ever going to get. The Klarus E1 is a shade over 4 inches long (about 110mm) and about 3/4 of an inch at the widest point (around 20mm) this little torch packs a punch well above it's size and weight (about 50g). Now we get to the interesting bit it has 4 power settings, high 1000 lm (90 mins), med 400lm(220 mins), low 100lm(14 hours) and moonlight 2 lm (430 hours). Now for once the moonlight is actually useful. All too often they are .5 of a lm and useless, 2lm on the other hand is bright enough to see what your doing. The torch also has two modes, one the default is a normal torch the other is a tactical mode, in this mode the large tailcap butten is full power and the tailcap "paddle" is full power strobe. It also has an SOS mode for emergencies. The beam is a hotspot with a good spread, ideal for day to day use and a max distance of a 190mt. It's also waterproof to 2 mt and drop resistant to 1 mt.... Now I said nearly perfect and for me it is... Nearly. You see the fly in the ointment is the battery. It's an 18650, but their own brand and the torch cant use a normal 18650. This is the one thing that lets it down, if you want to carry a spare battery you have to get one from Klarus. Here it is compared to a standard 18650 battery

The vicar of Dibley and oh god I have to go shopping!

The vicar of Dibley started in 1994 and with a few years gap ended in 2007. Now the BBC always full of daft ideas has brought it back. I say daft because most of the main cast are dead, even with unlimited licence fee money to waste the Beeb cant bring back the dead.... and it shows! With the best will in the world the new series is crap! The problem is the original series worked because of the comedy between the main charatcers​, Gereldine, Jim, David, Owen, Frank, Hugo, Letita and Alice. It was the interaction between them that was funny. Just having the vicar talking to a screen and a brief glimps of Hugo doesn't cut it. I know it's sad when something good falls over and dies but sometimes it's better left dead and buried. Digging it up isn't ever a good thing. Maybe Dawn French needs the money or the dopy Beeb think it pulled in 12 million views for the Christmas specialin 2006 it's do it again... Bet it wont....

Shopping, oh God I'm back to shopping for three households again, but my God you should see the shopping list I have! 4 turkey crowns and gammon joints, backon, lamb, pork about 9 bottles of milk, veg and spuds ect ect the lists are massive and thats without the Christmas food shop and the sweets, this is a few hundred quids worth easy. Oh joy. And I've got to get the proper turkey and the rest of my present shopping FFS! when?

Talking of horses....!

Ok I know we weren't talking of horses... well at least you weren't but I sort of was and ... oh never mind.. Anyway talking of horses. You know if you wake up with a horses head on the pillow next to you, you've either pissed off the Godfather, or that was one hell of a party last night! Talking of horses I haven't had a lasagne for a while.... I'll get my coat...
