Got one of the auld computers running. Been playing Solitaire for hours now.

Had a good run up to the National Kit Car show at NAC Stoneleigh in the JZR.  Two of us in convoy.

Nothing beats getting a old bit of kit working again.

I had to remove a couple of RAM modules as I think those were dodgy so with the 64MB I had to hand it's pretty bloody dire using the internet, I managed to log in on here but rendering the site took ages (10/100 ethernet and Firefox 2.0.1) and it never loaded in right since the browser couldn't process the modern styles. I've managed to find another module to bump it up to 128MB at the moment till I find my 256 ones to take it to 384MB.

Purchased a passenger side heated wing mirror glass off Bay a month or so ago. I received the driver's side, so messaged the seller. Was told that they didn't have another to send me, so told me what to do in order to get a refund, which I duly did. When I chased for my refund they claimed they had never received it back, then went silent for a week. 

 

Thinking at this point that it had been over 30 days since purchase that Ebay wouldn't help me, so carried out some desktop investigations and found another Ebay "shop" with the same registered address but slightly different named person behind the account. I then messaged the original seller again, pointing out this info and that I felt they were a shady outfit who were there to simply fleece buyers. Of course, this went unanswered.

 

Rather surprisingly, today I actually received my refund 😱

 

EDIT; I forgot to add that I naturally left feedback on the sold item that this was a dodgy seller and not to use them... I have  just been asked by them to remove that feedback!! Not until that money hits my account!!

Black Skoda Favorit estate - No pics because it was passing my front window and I got about 1 second to identify it!

Why remove the feedback just because you get a refund?

I'm not sure if it was a true moment of joy, or rather something that made me smile and gave me a warm fuzzy feeling  but I see some supermarkets are changing the name of their Chicken Kiev's to Chicken Kyiv's

Respect is the word you are seeking, I believe

"Respect my Chicken Kyiv" is a phrase I can get onboard with

Found this stuff in my Gran's loft. If anyone needs me I'll be playing TOCA.

Your Gran was a cool lady     I'm assuming they weren't her games? (I'm basing that on her estimated age, not her gender)

Nahhh they're not hers, her choice of video games never goes much further than Sudoku on the computer. They were my Dad's but he left them when he moved out.

calm....

 

then the guardians of the water raised the fog to reward my uphill running effort as i was leaving again...

New car ordered three weeks ago and moved up to an allocated build date of just under two weeks!

As I was provisionally told August for delivery (with an additional delay added for a September reg), I think that's faster than pre-covid delivery times!
