Re: A right now thread
Just back from a ride on the XSR900.
Popped into Blade in Abingdon just to see what it's like, not been there yet...
Have to say, this little thing is pretty.

Took my eye off the ball lately and let it go green. Air temp was down, but sun still berserk and pool temp has risen to 30c. The new cover is better than I thought.
Have done a "Vac to waste" which gets rid of the algae on bottom of pool. It was much darker before I vacced the bottom.
Have put in half a tub of Chloroshock and will leave pump going for 24 (48) hours until it clears.
Then jump in with face mask to get rid of any lingering spots of algae.

Fitted a new MAF sensor to Father-in-laws picasso and cleared the fault codes. He is one very happy chappy. Mother-in-law is even happier as apparently he was lobbing toys out of his pram saying it was new car time and he hadn't worked all his life to have an unreliable car etc blah!

Waiting for my wife to call to be picked up from A&E. She stacked her ebike today and her wrist has increased its swelling throughout the day so her colleagues took her to A&E. Ho hum...

Bailed on it after 10 minutes as it suddenly dawned on me I'd done it before. Probably should have stayed listening though as I didn't remember any of the correct answers! Breakout rooms, ffs!

IIRC something like 140+ nationalities there.
That said, there seemed to be a four level hierarchy, with certain origin workers at the lowest level and a very limited number at the top level. I am deliberately being vague.
