Careful now, I might be a dup voter.

You're closer to Arlene's house than I am though

Cable ties of dubious age and origin for the win. Danger is my middle name.

Gav did say he's got suicide Spring compressors. After my wife's talk of child number 2 I hope it hits me square in the crotch!

UPDATE: warning lights are now out

My offer is now formally withdrawn @Boabybooster.

Oh I laughed!!!!!

But yes a very sharp breeze and nip in the air tonight

 

[BarryPort]

What year is that? I thought they were similar running gear to a disco which doesn't need electronics to reset anything. Do you mean bed in the park brake? Or did the park brake over extend and need wound in again?

You were 100% right. Been waiting for days for a mate to lend me his computer when all it took was E-brake off & caliper wind back tool.
Thanks @swansty , back on the road now. Was poorly advised before.

Make sure your park brake is properly adjusted. They work fairly well when given an annual clean, grease and adjustment and are used regularly. Failing to adjust or use it regularly leads to failure.

 

[Boabybooster]

Yea you did. I hope the top mount hits you in the face.

It's not going well!

It's not going well!

Let me guess, can't get the bottom bolt on the rear shock off?

Or is the front strut seized in place?

Anyone else noticed the big places like accuweather are not showing any snow for the remainder of the week just a load of rain even though the weather is showing down to -7 real feel whats that about?

If anyone is looking sledges we will have plenty in Decathlon ready for some fun

 

[Eddies]

I call bs on it till I see it. They can't predict a days weather here or tell us when we are going to have our one day of summer now nearly a week in advance they can say snow.

Keep the faith! Fingers and toes crossed!

Definitely a touch on winter kicking in last night. Trees down, bins blown hundreds of meters away, roof tiles off houses etc...

One of the wifes mates sent her a pic of a 10ft trampoline propped against her car. Id not be letting thst go until any damage is paid for.

 

[Coog]

The contents of half our streets blue bins are filling everyone's gardens this morning ffs

 

[Gaz86]

It dawned on me at about 1am that my bin was still round the side of the house lol had to rush out and bring it in beside I found it parked against the side of my car. Was pretty bad in Dromore. Not entirely convinced we'll see much if any snow yet though. Unless the temperature really drops tonight.

 

[adam1942]

I had the black bin near the wifes car (Smart Fortwo and has plastic panels). Asked her if she wanted me to go move it.. "nah sure it'll just bounce off the car" right enough went outside this morning was lying up against the side of it. No marks nothing. Plastic cars ftw.

@gezEP3 Apparently the real feel is -1 atm dropping to -3 at 12 albeit the temp is 6 so I assume that the "real feel" is including wind chill, that said its forecast to be 4 Celsius at 10pm with a real feel of -5 and over night between -5 and -7 real feel with temps being 2 Celsius.

What does this mean? ****ed if I know!

 

[Coog]

As far as I understand it, "real feel" is a temperature that includes wind chill and humidity. Thermometers aren't affected by it but because we warm the air around our bodies and moisture affects how we stay warm and/or sweat it feels warmer/colder based on humidity and wind. So 2 degrees with high humidity and lots of wind 'feels' the same as -5 with no wind and optimal (or low) humidity. Just like warmer temps with higher humidity makes it feel warmer than it actually is.

 

[simy]

But that depends on how many layers you've got on. It was pretty toasty walking in to work this morning.

 

[Burt2000]

I could hear the recycling boxes sliding about the street last night and bottles clinking, our street looked a bit like a land fill this morning ffs. Did people not think oh its a bit windy when they left their box out

 

[Coog]

In that case real feel will be about 36 degrees lol

 

[adam1942]

@Coog so does that mean it'll snow or not?

Getting your geek on there mate Always wondered what that meant
