As a motorcyclist, this has nearly wiped me out several times...of course they then say "sorry mate I didn't see you"...not a lot of good when you're laying in the road under your bike 
My hate of the day is friggin irresponsible DOG OWNERS. Tonight, another one running about in my garden. If they can't control it either (1) put it on a lead or (2) get rid of it. Eeejits Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's) |

We have good neighbour its the dog I don't like as it  on my garden, the neighbours let it out while the pack the car, the dog takes its self onto me garden and . I have warned/asked the to stop the dog ing on my garden, it works for a couple of days then back to normal. This week end I was in a grumpy mood so I collected all last weeks on a large shovel, waited till they had gone out then dumped the lot just outside the front door and waited for the reaction while I pretended to be busy in the garage.
Well after an hour neighbours come home they didn't notice the until it was to late and they had walked into the house, dog comes out puts front paws into the mess and runs back into house, load of carpets out on the drive this morning and a local carpet company has just left.............
No sign of the dog today. I must take a look into the garden and see if there is any freshly dug earth. Don't make old people mad. We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to us off.

This is day 3 hoovering about in a far too luxurious Evoque. Absolutely top service from my dealer and Land Rover, but I can't wait for the day they give me a call to pick up my 130 with its roof fixed.

Instead of putting a 50mph restriction in, signs saying just uneven surface and having your suspension seriously pounded on the west bound M4 between J16 Swindon West and J17 Chippenham why not just get out there and repair the road its been like it since xmas.
Honestly thought the wheels were going fall off the Ifor last night yes I was flying along but come on its a motorway not a farm track.

I went to the pet food store the other day and the owner put his head out the door as I arrived and said ahh the unmistakable sound of 100 loose nuts and bolts flying in perfect harmony pointing at the Ifor. If everything is under control you are not going fast enough.

Not normally a grumpy one me, but was today!
Must have done something to upset the old man for work today as was given the black hammerite tins and told to paint the work trailers for the annual smarten up and check them over. This only consists of 2 main trailers that only do road miles, but a fair few thousand a year. job washing them down as we always avoid that normally! and painting in all the gaps aswell as changing to new wheels (easier than tyres)
Still on the plus side it was sunny and a quieter day tomorrow  Defender puma dormobile camper |
