Shark

 Found a bit of tissue paper on the floor today, shaped exactly like a shark...  I figure it's a sign from cod!
 I'll get my coat.....

Flying to Egypt?

 If your flying to Egypt you might consider some light reading... to be more precise the EASA (European aviation safety agency) extended security warning for Egypt and the Sanai area.
 Nothing much to worry about, unless your concerned about GPS jamming around Cairo International Airport. RNAV (GNSS) approaches should not be planned there. (so hope for daylight and good weather).
 Some countries also advise not flying lower than 25000 feet to avoid the risk of manpad (man portable anti aircraft rockets) attacks.
So all well and good then....   Me I'm sticking to Brighton, Ok theres no pyramid but I suspect arriving on the number 23 bus is safer than flying to Cairo with people playing silly buggers with the GPS system.

How unlucky do you have to be.... ?

 A pilot died after hitting a combine harvester in Australia. Worse it was on Jerrybang road. How unlucky do you have to be for that to happen.

I don't believe it! But sadly it's true.

 Hard to believe but Morriston Hospital in South Wales has issued an official statement asking teenagers not to set fire to themselves (or each other).
 Seriously? How monumentally stupid do you need to be to set yourself on fire as part of an "anti-social" media challenge.
 It seems it's the "in" thing to do! Yeah right morons!
 I have to say I wonder if we should say and do nothing?. After all, in a way it's nature and evolutions way of culling the thick twats and stopping them breeding, and lowering the gene pool further.
 Bring a whole new meaning to fuel economy.   What do you get to the gallon?  about 4 Welsh teenagers.....

Halloween at Bleanavon steam railway

 Halloween or All Hallows eve, is thought to have originated as Celtic/Gaelic festival of Samhain (harvest festival essentially) and has Pagan roots.
 Anyway back to the pictures. We went to the Blaenavon steam railway halloween night.
 lots of pics, all shot without flash but high iso or a little bit of video light when needed.

RAC cover... Don't have an accident!!

It seems RAC cover is fine if you break down. On the other hand if you have an accident you are probably not going to get ANY help from them.
Keep that in mind when your looking for roadside cover.
Recently, They left a dissabled woman alone in London at night because she had a tyre damaged in a minor accident.

Ford electrics.... part two, the saga continues

 I mentioned before Fords famed electrical "issues" and the problems with changing a simple headlight bulb or a battery.
 Well in part two we're going to discuss the rear lights. Oh to be fair you don't have to take both rear wheels off to change the side light bulb at the back, amazingly they made an opening you can just about get your hand in to get at the bulbs.
 No this time they were clever. They lulled me into a false sense of security!
 You see the bulb in the handbook is different to the bulb actually fitted in the light, not that it mattress, I asked in the shop and the bloke went tappy-tap-tap on the computer and gave me the right bulb.... well not exactly, it looks like the right bulb... but the contacts and bayonet pins are ever so slightly different, not enough to be obvious, just enough so the fucker wont fit.
 Three bloody time I went back and fro, in the end I took the original bulb in and they matched it. "Thats the wrong bulb" the bloke in the shop tells me, "I've got the same car, same year,  it wont fit" he added.  It did though.
Bloody Fords!
