My boss came back from holidays. Same old ****

So my RA is really playing up ATM, but thankfully had an

appointment with my specialist on Monday.


She decided to change my Biologic DMARDs to a different type/brand?


Gave me a box of injectors to get me through until I'm approved,
thankfully all my wives lectures about the correct procedures etc
(40+ years in ICUs) had sunk in doing all the checks and stuff me
3 months out-of-date.


Returned this am and no more available until manufacture can provide so more "samples".



Luckily I still have a pen of my last Dmard to get me through.


F**k I hate this disease.


Whinge over, feel much better!!!

This could go in any number of threads, but I posted it here because most people seem to know the tune I'm whistling and it's catching!

They played this on the local radio this morning. Has become today's earworm.

OMG, why would that need to be played on the radio?

I thought it looked familiar, Sid and Marty Crofft were also behind this gem of a TV show...................

The annual insurance premium for my povo spec Ranger going up by $252 compared to last year. I suspect last year's flooding is to blame despite my home being far enough away from said flood waters.

In the last 3 years my Ranger insurance has increased each year, I thought it was a bit too dear for the premium I pay, I also have an agreed value with it but upon doing some quotes with other insurance companies I will stick to my one from RACV, I found market price quotes were up to $600 dearer than my agreed value policy, WTF.
Insurance premiums are starting to get beyond the joke these days.

Got bit by a spider this afternoon.
Didnt see what type though.
Went to grab some wood out the pile and it got me on middle finger, really hurt (still does 7 hours later!), I shook my hand and it was flung into the bark on the ground. I heard it land but couldnt find it.

So, as you do, I went ahead and started shopping around. Now I'm being bombarded with emails and text messages from a couple of very persistent companies.

AMMI, for that reason, I will NOT be purchasing insurance from your company.................you were WAY out of the ballpark anyway.

If there is anyone reading from a company that likes to do this sort of thing, pestering potential customers with a constant stream of emails and text messages is not a very clever marketing strategy, in fact I would wager you will lose more than you win by doing this.

I went around to fix some doors at mums house. She had already bought the hardware even though I said we should go down and check it out first. I always bring the existing thing with me.

First stumbling block was the cordless drill (cheapy Ozito) no matter how much torque I had on it just couldn't shift these screws that were stopping the garage door from closing.

So I ended up hacksawing them but still needed to bang them in a bit. The T handle she bought was the wrong one so we went down to Bunnings to exchange it and then that was all good.

Next issue was the collar on the lever arm. It was detached and I thought this isn't right surely it should be welded to the arm how do you secure properly.

I ****ed around a bit and got it to work just so it would be secure. Got home and looked it up on Bunnings as it wasn't right with me and of course it should be welded

She got the wrong handle and defective rear lever arm. Lucky the inside door was easy as, just replaced the handles and left everything else

Somewhere along the line, I've upset the bird gods. Not sure exactly what I did to deserve this:






And it's not like the car is parked right next to a tree!



Even the driveway was peppered (altho it may be hard to see in this pic) .

Most likely Magpie lark, they have a bad habit of attacking their own images in vehicles glass or mirrors.

Had this happen to one of our cars under the carport. Everyday he would sit on drivers side mirror and crap over it and down the door. Went on for weeks.
I stopped it by rolling a sock over the mirror every time I got home. Eventually he migrated to the neighbours car mirror and I could stop bothering with the sock.

Tell me about it.
Have tree creepers, Larks and lately Superb Wrens having a go at the Westcoasters. Covering over with an old T shirt does the trick.

Could be, but I haven't seen many larks around the area at all. The magpies are out in force atm tho, maybe it's them?

My Neighbour two doors down likes to practice his whip cracking skills.............at 9pm on a Sunday evening. Why anyone would need a whip in a suburban area is beyond me, or why it's necessary to use one after dark in the middle of the street. Complete moron.

[MITCHAY]

My neighbour used to do that to but right over the fence. In Canberra of all places

[Citroënbender]

I’ve got neighbouring kids who kick the footy against a Colorbond fence, and CUBs down the street who - until the interest rates went up - thought it a jolly good show to drive down the road at 11PM with their Lambo turning 5000RPM and exhaust cutouts open. Someone cracking a whip might be a pleasant change.

All those noises pale into insignificance when the mini earthquake rolls past at 5.15 every evening on its way to $ydney fully loaded with containers.

I always say of a job “The last twenty minutes takes four hours” to summarise late discoveries which challenge timely completion.

This Alfa is true to form, it’s hatched a misfire which I reckon is coil packs. I’ll clean the plugs tonight but not optimistic. If I’m lucky, the fellow at Cromer will have some OEM Bosch available tomorrow morning. Genuine boxed are $500 apiece over the counter at Alfa dealers, and there’s four of them… Car leaves my hands by tomorrow evening.

[Citroënbender]

…True to form, the flat spare was not five years of being ignored but a fractured brass shell in the valve stem. Who’da thunk it? 9PM and there I was on the workshop bead breaker to get enough clearance for replacing it.

[.:4:.]

I had 1 thing to do today. My mum is overseas, my brother and sister had to work, same as my aunty and my 3 cousins. Other then my grandma, I was the only other with the free time. So it still is my grandpas 97th birthday. Reason why I didn't make it down to visit was that lovely sweet sweet smell of coolant.

[Citroënbender]

An honourable mention to Valeo alternators with the stator bedded in RTV.

If you need to R&R the stator, it takes 20 minutes of perseverance, then some cleaning up to remove nearly all the silicone. Then you sit the stator back in the front shell, carefully checking and marking its alignment. Next - there’s a fine rubber ring about 1mm across by 3mm tall - you need to poke this evenly down in the front housing around the stator until it registers on the bottom of its machined lip. This centres the stator, and you now fill the tapered gap between it and the front housing with new neutral cure RTV.

I honestly doubt in most usage conditions, that it’s any better than a regular setup where the stator is just roughly clamped into the housings by bolt tension. These alternators compare poorly to Mitsubishi of the same era, for serviceability.

Yeah, that'd suck! Is there opportunity to reply to their rating to explain the circumstances from your end?
