Washing machine broken 😔.....inside rear bearing gone.....sounds like it has a building brick in it when washing......Currys have a basic one in stock.....but I ain't paying 40 quid delivery....we only live 2 mile from their store...gits.

We had a new one last month @Clive the delivery charge is a scam i said i would pick it up from the store and save the delivery charge but they said i would still have to pay it fucking pricks, but the delivery charge was £20 i think the £40 charge was for delivery at a specified time .

@XTreme don’t look like you’ll be driving into Bazza next year Spain are banning all diesel petrol engines from towns and cities 

Blimey they are some extensive slightly complicated rules they're bringing in.

7 out of 10 cities prohibiting approximately 75% of traffic from city centres from 2023

I've been riding through 2 that where introduced a while ago in Valladolid and Madrid. Granada's on that list as is Motril. Fortunately foreign polluters don't count and our bikes are compliant anyway so no biggy but it's going to be interesting seeing the mass ditching of old cars.

And they have just brought in a clean air charge in Bristol so if i want to drive in to visit the boy i have to pay £9 on top of my fuel to get there feck that i don't like him that much :classic_laugh:

They've brought in a thing in many cities over here where you have to get a sticker for your car/bike etc. Vehicles get graded by their emission figures and then fall into a band between 1 (least polluting) and 5 (most polluting). Access to some cities can be limited to Vehicles in the lower polluting categories at certain times. The stickers are only 3€50 or thereabouts, so registering is not expensive.  Fortunately, all our vehicles fall into band 1 or 2, so there shouldn't be any problems for us. Where Mandy works is within the zone for Montpellier,  but her car is band 1 anyway.

Same as our sofa.....SCS wanted us to pay £100 delivery from the manufacturers factory to us.......I said "iam buying it from here not from the factory".....but the sales guy said that's company policy......told him to stuff his sofa. 😂

Rung AO....no delivery till well into the New Year.........so our daughter has ordered one out of her catalogue....a Indesit model......no date for delivery yet.....we will pay our daughter the full amount...not messing about with terms.

I have looked at our washer....the drum is a sealed (bonded) unit.....can buy a new one but it is £190 😲......the washer we ordered is £210. 😂 

Get her a washboard and a mangle, that shit will last forever.

Fitted some bar risers, Cnc machined and made in UK

They were a bit fiddly to line up correctly but the bars are in a much better position now.

 I suppose the proof will be when I ride it but that’s not going to happen until April 🙄

Why didn't they just replace the original bar clamp top bracket with an extended one? That looks over complicated to me? I assume the cables and brake lines were plenty long enough?

They do those for the Monster models but i'm not sure they'd fit the Sled. Apart from that I wanted a vario type riser so that I could pull the bars back a bit as well as get some height.  Plenty of room on the cables to do the job.

I’ve been out in the garage, everything was wet from condensation, borrowed Ersilia’s blow dryer for the Sled 😁

That used to really piss me off!

Fortunately it doesn't happen here no matter how cold or damp it gets!
