I'd complain to BMW. Sometimes they do stuff like offer you a free engine, if you pay the fitting at a proper stealership, etc.. you never know your luck in a raffle.

My place of enforced servitude is just the other end of the Highway, so you could have invited me down for a spot of lunch.Taipan wrote: ↑Wed Aug 03, 2022 7:54 pm On the train on the way home from a meal at The Narrow. Quite how Gordon Ramsay has the cheek to go around criticising other peoples restraints when this place is a filthy top is beyond me!!
Staff were lovely and some of the food was really nice but not all of it! Moretti was nice and the expensive wine has taken its toll but they didn’t have a free salad bar like a Harvester!
Heres me toasting Grrmlins offices!
I know that outside seating area well, as we ate there once. Only unlike you, we went in February when it was bloody freezing and they took us to a table out there with just some plastic awnings up to keep the weather out. I just looked at them with incredulity and asked them if they would sit out here and eat their dinner. At first they said there were no tables inside, but once we threatened leave, they quickly found one.
Just bizarre.

Re: A right now thread
I'm down with some lurgy. Feels like random flu type thing. Been like a bag of shite on and off for the last 48 hours and done something I never ever do which is taken 2 days off sick. Have moments where I feel fairly ok, but not many of them.
Got to go out though as we've no food in the house for tea!

Re: A right now thread
I know loads of people who are down with Covid at the moment. Flu-like symptoms, upset stomach and the usual sore throat/cough. Done a test?weeksy wrote: ↑Tue Aug 09, 2022 4:12 pm I'm down with some lurgy. Feels like random flu type thing.

No, don't think a test brings anything to the discussion does it? If it's positive, what changes nowadays?gremlin wrote: ↑Tue Aug 09, 2022 4:22 pmI know loads of people who are down with Covid at the moment.

Re: A right now thread
You're still supposed to isolate if you've got the 'rona.
You could argue - quite validly - you should be doing that with 'flu too really.

Re: A right now thread
Fitting an engine at a stearlership, even if the engine is free, will cost more than getting matey to fix it. The majority of that ~£3k is labour, even at non-stealership prices.KungFooBob wrote: ↑Tue Aug 09, 2022 3:55 pm I'd complain to BMW.

Re: A right now thread
Yeah, it's all academic now. In theory I could have travelled to Skiathos quite legitimately when I tested positive, but I felt so dog-rough that the thought of sitting on a 'plane and then going on the piss with a load of Mancunians was just too much for my weakened state.weeksy wrote: ↑Tue Aug 09, 2022 4:24 pmNo, don't think a test brings anything to the discussion does it?

Bollocks to the idea of completely isolating though. I walked the dog, stayed away from people and was generally sensible.

Re: A right now thread
Found one at home.
I have 2 lines. Which is apparently bad.
It seems we're on Cheerios for tea

Wear a mask, sanitize hands on the way in, try not to touch your face and do not lick the self-scan screen. As per my my last post, just be sensible.

Re: A right now thread
Hmm...thinking about it I could probably get a curry and possibly a Chinese but not pizza or burgers delivered here. A couple of takeaway places within a couple of miles do their own deliveries but there's no Deliveroo etc. Pizza Express do a 'collect from' but I don't think they deliver.weeksy wrote: ↑Tue Aug 09, 2022 4:40 pmNot in the countryside.Count Steer wrote: ↑Tue Aug 09, 2022 4:34 pmIt's rumoured that you can get food delivered to your front door too.Mr. Dazzle wrote: ↑Tue Aug 09, 2022 4:30 pm

Jumped in the Vito, we had to make record time as it closes at 5 but the lad made it and I stayed in the van.

Re: A right now thread
Relaxing on a proper sofa in an actual house!! Balcony doors open, just to attempt to get some breeze through - tis is a smidge hotter down here than at home!
I've even been for a 'swim'!!! Ok, it's an above ground 'pool' - maybe 4 ft deep and maybe 5m long. My mate has a belt thingy that he puts on and then swims - it works!!
So, a little swim, some pool therapy exercises and now chilling on a real sofa!
Repeat swim and pool therapy in the morning before heading out!!
Oh, and waiting on the cat arriving home so I can feed it before I go to bed
