[John Laidlaw]

What, and you have an S65?....that's be like someone saying I should stick to 70

S65/220CDI it balances out

Finished my eco mod (yes I am one of those crazies that bums around on the ecomodder forum trying different techniques to max fuel efficiency)



This allows me to do Pulse and Glide and Engine of coasting much easier

Only 8.25mpg avg? You need to try harder!

Im still the calibration phase for that ultragauge. I have tried 3 times, but the other half keeps taking the car out on fumes and therefore I miss the fullup!

I am a bit past all of that John but yes I am looking forward to it of course My trip is considerably shorter than yours, Ely is about 70 miles from here so about 2 hours max

I certainly do. This chuffing cough is doing my head in. Lost my voice twice in the last week!

At least you had a good excuse for not replying to SWMBO every time she speaks!

Don't let her know that, she might read this!!!

My other half would expect me to sign to her if I lost my voice. Problem is the only signs I know could provoke a nasty reaction!

Knowing your OH and my OH I suspect we would both need ear defenders to try that out Alastair!

Out of three of us, I'm a better position, as I kept my other half hidden so far

Waiting to see if any seagulls are still around to poo on my car again. Only 3 yesterday...

Have you considered feeding the gulls more fibre to "Bung" them up

I did hear of such a thing....slightly more drastic though!!

Baking powder John? Seriously, if you wrap a piece of bait around a small weight, attach fishing line to it and spin it around on a long enough arc, seagulls will come to take it on the fly and can be suitably dispatched. Or so I'm reliably informed.

The bird scarer has been working well, only 3 splats all week and then for one night, SWMBO turned it off by accident. Cue the phantom plasterer making an appearance...

Today I have groggily driven my CL into work and will groggily drive it home. Waiting for me are some vetrinary-grade antibiotics and anti-tickly-throat pills which might finally cure me of this persistent ****** cough that's really affected me over the last 3 weeks.

Fingers crossed I can take the Karcher and snow foam lance for a test drive this weekend!

We have a nest on our roof at the back of the house so expecting plenty of Seagull poo very soon plus lots of squawking when we go out of the back door. Not been too bad so far

Yip- baking soda was what I heard. we've now installed 2 of said devices on the factory roof- all the nests are gone and there's a half hourly fly by of a peregrine falcon, Harris hawk and barn owl to amuse me...
The gulls are getting the hint , down to 3 splats today again
