    The latter I suspect.

    Apparently the previous thing should have been fixed, though it would have cost a bob or two to get it through the mot.

    Very strange.

    And he doesn't drive.

    Which is why I had to get up at sparrow fart last year to take them both to Bridgend hospital so she could have an operation.

    On another note, there's a Rover P4 100 for sale in that Leicester.

    When the fun stops, STOP.

      Apparently the 4 hour SLA for resetting online banking credentials is not valid because they currently have a backlog (maybe if they didn't randomly block people without warning...). My request for a review of my request to change the credentials has been chased and I should allow a further 24 hours to pass.

      I am allowed to use telephone banking still, which is nice, but I need to check my tariff regarding charges for using that service. Bloomin' cheek.

      Of course, unless they do IP logging of connection attempts, I can't prove that it wasn't me who locked my account out.

      My toys are getting perilously close to the edge of my pram.

        so an hour ago the company said they need a compliance check - and the software that is outsourced to would send an email in the next half hour. They still haven't sent it...

          Rain again!

          One of my neighbours dogs seems to like me. Though I suspect it's because she knew I would take her home (not mine) after she decided wandering wasn't a good idea.

            Potched about a bit more then decided to linseed oil the handles on assorted gardening tools, as I do every (i.e. this is the 2nd time I've done it) year.

            Her next door has bought a Mini Cooper and him next door is dischuffed about it.

            Strange lad.

            I'm sure my sister brought the wrong baby home with her back in the day.

            Easily done.
            You need the right Mini Cooper for it to be fun.

            Which is why my car of choice is the automatic Mini Cooper JCW with all the toys as it goes like nothing else (231bhp and not much weight).

              The right Mini Cooper is the 1275GT.

                That having come to its natural conclusion, said garments were draped upon the clotheshorse.

                And then, the rain having stopped, it was time for my walk, which was duly walked and the green ring closed

                Different route this time, being one that took me past the Co-op in the home straight where I popped in for a minor purchase. I got the till with the woman who used to work in the cob shop back when it was still a cob shop and not one of the multitude of men's hairdressers that now plague the neighbourhood.

                    Seen the price of one of those is an understatement
