I had a bit of a poke about in my eye with a sewing needle. Doc at A&E said I did a good job and got the metal out myself. Anyone want me to do theirs?

    Try one down your back or in your boot. LOL Sometimes you just can't avoid little incidents.

    I gave my eye a good scrape with my finger nail last night. Hopefully I have got it. Last time I waited 2 weeks until the rust took hold and I went blind. I will give it a few days and see what happens. Thanks for the medical advice Charlie. :)

    Get yourself to the nearest eye hospital, you can lose an eye with infection

Thinking of buying a Bini from my boss. Not really my thing but low mileage and nice red leather interior!

    The funny thing is after all the arguments I had with the manager I think he thinks we are friends. He is a very strange bloke.

It's a very difficult job and the only way to get through it is we all work together as a team. And that means you do everything I say.

    I checked them. Low fuel rail pressure and all 4 leak off over 100ml over 2mins idle. Leak off should be max 25ml so not good.

A few days in Norfolk saw a red City (Rex) and a purple Equinox. The tea tastes much better in Essex.
