Lone_Bullet Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 The realisation that I've not got it that bad... As a cyclist I'll never complain again about the state of the bicycle lane in Belgium whereas here you have half a metre of crumbling asphalt and trucks, suv, etc doing 80km/h plus at 30 cm to your right... No. I'm good. I've got it pretty decent. Nannystate, sure. Ratrace, ofcourse. But decent. Perspective is all you need Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 All these people creaming themselves over iPhone 8 'Leaked designs' lol. It's all speculation but people are eating it right up. , isn't it? It will be as smooth as a bar of soap, but with the technology of a 4 year old android stuffed inside it. And the sheep will lap up the manna from apple like the obedient little ovine creatures with hipster beards they desire to be. Link to post Share on other sites
Tw1tch Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 I purchased myself a Gerber Vise to provide myself with some basic tools for EDC. Link to post Share on other sites
Lone_Bullet Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 In Killarney, driving off the parking i noticed my steering was funky and pulling to the left. Left front flat... Spare wheel on 5 minutes later, showing of my manliness. Plugged and inflated damaged tire fitted on by 2 very helpfull and friendly Irishmen at the local tirecentral 20 minutes later. T was like it never happened! Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerton Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Did they plug it from inside or outside (the tyre)? Link to post Share on other sites
Lone_Bullet Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Tink... Don't, man. Not yet. Check the 'my eye' thread. It's losing pressure Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Just finished 24: legacy. Meh. Generic now, no savage plot twists like the earlier series. And again, it was only 12 episodes. Again. I think I'm done with this. That hurts to say, but it's a bit . Link to post Share on other sites

DeltaZero Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Just worked out theres enough space internally to fit a Magpul MOE Sling mount onto the side of my MP9.. Looks like an easy job! Oh yeah! Link to post Share on other sites
Lone_Bullet Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Second tiny hole on the tire plugged for free! Immediately checked it with a run on the Ring of Kerry. Love how the locals pull over and let you pass when you want to drive as close to the legal limit of 100km/h as safely possible, where they only do 50 max. I'm no tailgater, though i drive an Audi; also doing the full 100 in Ireland is quite close to suicide for the average driver. They only slow you down where people live. The rest, hairpins, cliffs and ravines, narrow stone bridges, potholes as deep as a well... 80 or 100. Madness! Lovely, cheery, exciting, have your travelpartner screaming and clawing the safety belt kind of madness ^^. All this and the tire is fiiiiiine ^^ Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Sounds great! Would love to get out there when I've got the mini on the road. One of my planned road trips for sure! Fitted the sling point to my MP9... so much better than the original. Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted May 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Well, a year from now I'll be looking for a car. If there isn't a decent Pinzgauer available then I'll be looking for a Unimog, U1300 or so. There are a lot of them about in Belgium. Might have to take a road trip out there. I'll kidnap and bring Tink because mechanic. Link to post Share on other sites

Tw1tch Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 So I've been offered the promotion. Goodbye weekly paycheck you'll be missed (I've worked since I was 13, which is half my life now...and always been cash in hand or weekly). Hello pay increase to a basic salary of £26K.

Tw1tch Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 It's really weird, basically my Pub Manager has said that I won't be taking on many more duties as I've already been doing the job of a Duty Manager and then some for a while (and then he threw some light hearted digs at some of the other managers who we have on the team, not mentioning names though) so it's almost a massive raise for not much apart from more accountability which is something I have no problem with. If I *fruitcage* up I admit it and accept responsibility for the repercussions. It's not just the money either, it's done me a massive boost to my confidence. Just annoying I can't discuss it with colleagues until it's gone through hah as there's some people who really want to know bless them. Link to post Share on other sites

scorch Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Home. So nice to be sat on my own sofa. Also, did you know a Canadian equivalent of Baileys exists? It's made of cream, rum and maple syrup. It is ridiculously drinkable. Link to post Share on other sites

Tw1tch Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 That sounds glorious. Only problem is rum tends to bring out a more aggressive personality in me. Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Coureur des bois. Am sure there are probably other brands too though. There was a massive French Canadian stand at the expo we went to, so naturally I came home with maple everything. Maple butter, maple cream liqueur, maple biscuits, and maple beer. Also, all the cured meats. Link to post Share on other sites
