Isn't there a thing about cats preferring to sit on people who are about to die?

Also- the Gordon Brown trust fund thing. Thought nothing of it. Eldest (18) checked and he had £1600 in there. From the government putting 2 x £250 into the fund back in 2006.

He’s currently enjoying the extra pocket money on his holiday with his mates 😂

I've reset the service indicator on my GS!

It only took a new ODB2 reader (cos my old one didn't do CANBUS) a ODB to BMW diag port adaptor and the MotoScan app.

My nephew was a bit gutted - all his mates got that sort of amount but because he was born in the states (english mother tho and has lived in the uk since the age or 4 or 5) he got about £100 ☹️☹️

Roast Cat as You Wish to Eat It

Source [Libre del Coch, R. Carroll-Mann (trans.)]: 123. Roast Cat as You Wish to Eat It. You will take a cat that is fat, and decapitate it. And after it is dead, cut off the head and throw it away because it is not for eating, for they say that eating the brains will cause him who eats them to lose his senses and judgment. Then flay it very cleanly, and open it and clean it well, and then wrap it in a cloth of clean linen. And bury it beneath the ground where it must be for a day and a night; and then take it out of there and set it to roast on a spit. And roast it over the fire. And when beginning to roast it, grease it with good garlic and oil. And when you finish greasing it, whip it well with a green twig , and this must be done before it is well-roasted, greasing it and whipping it. And when it is roasted, cut it as if it were a rabbit or a kid and put it on a big plate; and take garlic and oil blended with good broth in such a manner that it is well-thinned. And cast it over the cat. And you may eat of it because it is very good food.

Finally sorted the moho out after our Italian trip.
Had to buy a new obd reader with specific Sprinter software, which narrowed it down to the bit I'd already replaced.
Stuck a vacuum gauge on it and it gave a reading, but not great, so stuck a mityvac on it and built a vacuum up.
Quick refit of all the pipes, and a fairly serious puff of black smoke out the exhaust, and a free revving motor. Took her out for a road test, by the end of the driveway I knew she's a good'un. Took her up the hill for an Italian tune up and all is well in motorhome land!

One of the bonuses of island living is companies deciding it's not worth the hassle of collecting courier damaged items.

Which is ace when a flat pack sink unit has very minor damage on one corner of the hardboard back board. And recipient isn't fussed as it's only going into a studio.

No shit 😂

So if you decapitate a cat and eat the brains you may end up having your senses and judgement held up to scrutiny.
