XTreme Posted July 1, 2023 Author Share Posted July 1, 2023 It's the really noisy night of the neighbourhood fiesta tonight......wailing Dago music till 6AM. Just looked and a bunch of guys are at the beer tent, with their horses tethered up there! They'll all get bladdered and then get their horses to take them home! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looked and a bunch of guys are at the beer tent, with their horses tethered up there! They'll all get bladdered and then get their horses to take them home! Could’ve been similar for us last night as our very nice Belgian neighbours let their place to a Spanish family who then invited at least a dozen more with four dogs between them. Continuous banging euro-pap tunes from one of the cars which they turned up loud enough so they could rave around the pool which is on the other side of the house. Because I was in pirate mode yesterday I was all for asking them ‘politely’ to turn the music down but I was persuaded by the galley maid to video it and send it to our Belgian neighbours. Worked a treat, music went off within a couple of minutes. Apparently our Belgian neighbours rang one of them and told them to turn the fucking music off as there was a convalescing pirate next door. Had a few dirty looks this morning as they shuffled around the garden, a few heavily slammed car doors too. One of them caught his fingers as he shut the drivers door………. laugh? I nearly shat myself. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 A few years ago he said he wanted to have kids, preferably a girl and she'd be just like me. I hope he get's his wish, it'll be good payback for what a pita he's been over the years 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Fallsalot Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Got out of bed at 5:30 this morning to get to a site in Tenby to disconnect a valve the people I’m meeting were a hour late so that’s pissed me off to start. Luckily the valve turned out to be a plug in job undo four screws and it’s unplugged now I’m sat here waiting for these two numpties to fix it but I don’t think they have a clue what they’re doing not often I get an easy job 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTreme Posted July 3, 2023 Author Share Posted July 3, 2023 The wife is taking one of those cases on wheels and I'll just be taking hand luggage for my laptop and any other odds and ends which don't go in the big case. I was going to take one of the backpacks I've got but then I found this......a freebie from David Jones Honda Centre in Shrewsbury when I bought a new Transalp 20 years ago. Never actually used it before.......but it's a decent size, much more space than a backpack. And it fits in with the Honda lifestyle of course! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Dacia/Renault are shite, do not stock the window switches, have to order one in, could be 3 weeks till they receive it, but (the guy said) it may well end up on back order. But when he said how much for said switch £85 I said Forget it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
