    The lost Malaysian airplane

    I simply wanted to see what oil choices they had and not what their system said I must have.

    I owe it to myself to never view that travesty again, so will refrain from picking up on your kind offer, thanks all the same.

    Do you do your own car servicing?

    Eurocarparts really have a feked up system - it won't let me simply look at various oils unless I enter a fictitious vehicle. What a pile of crap.

    The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

    I heard the radio series first time around (actually, I missed ep1, but got it on the repeat) and kept a cassette collection of all the repeated episodes for years afterwards. They were all unique, deviating from the script wildly at times and oftentimes being written on the hoof during the...

    Seller picked up old junky camera from estate disposal and decided to sell it on... http://www.ebay.com/itm/141195210246 A johnny-come-lately buyer, realising he'd been pipped at the post for a fairly rare lens, told the seller he'd pay more for it if the item was re-listed. Seller refunded the...

    M25 cyclist

    Hah, while I was waiting at the top of a sliproad off the A303, having just come off the dual-carriageway, an elderly gentleman turned his Montego hard left into the unoccupied lane of the one-way exit sliproad and carried on down to the 303, in face of anything coming along. I distinctly...

    "It's not rubbish, it's ART, dearie..."

    This was another one. I recall seeing him on the mentioned series on C4 - blew me away, seeing the quality of what he'd done. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Keating

    Powabyke - appalled by battery

    I'm on the lookout myself. The Bosch 2.6Ah Fatpacks are now superceded at great cost and the NOS sources have dried up. The aftermarket suppliers might, and might not, be using Konion in their Bosch packs. I'm stuck with having to find more to match what I've got, so still looking.
