No1 Rocking the NEC


For the second year running No1 has played the NEC in the national rock & pop festival. This country has some good kids in it which is sometimes all to easy to lose sight of.

Gym pass

April 16, 2008 | Leave a Comment

My Gym wrote to me today congratulating me on being one of their most active users.  They sent me a free guest pass which is now available to the first person to ask for it.  The gym is Virgin Active in Solihull, but Virgin allow members and so presumably guests to use any of their gyms throughout the country.  email me if you want it.  First come first served.

Politics

April 16, 2008 | Leave a Comment

I joined the Libertarian party a few weeks ago, they being the only party with an albeit evolving manifesto that I can approve of. Today I got my welcome pack from the party which included a couple of business cards which on the back contains a synopsis of what they/we stand for. I’ll repeat it here:

“Libertarians believe in individual liberty, personal responsibility, and freedom from government - on all issues at all times. We don’t say government is too big in one area, but then in another area push for a law to force people to do what we want. We believe in individual liberty, personal responsibility, and freedom from government - on all issues at all times.”

Bravo I say. What do you say?

My boat went back in the water on Monday after being laid up for winter work for the past four weeks. The engine was serviced before she came out of the water but with a little help from my father I antifouled the hull and did a couple of minor gelcoat repairs. After antifouling the hull we polished the topsides which now look lovely. The engine cold start problem seems to be getting worse. Warm starting is no problem and she usually starts after one maybe two turns, but cold starting can take over 50 turns. I think there is air getting into the fuel supply somewhere after the primary fuel filter but I’m buggered if I can find it. I think I’ll be spending a small fortune with a volvo engineer to trace the problem.

Vista (part2)

January 5, 2008 | Leave a Comment

I tried to fix my vista installation.  Result; corrupt boot sector, followed closely by the dreaded “no operating system” message. A full disk format and many hours later its working and seems to be stable.  It should only take a short lifetime to get all of my settings and tweeks back how I like them.  Hey-Ho

I (up)graded to Vista last week.  My life has become miserable since.  If you’re considering doing it….DON’T
