I suspect P. Biden's speech including the following may have something to do with it: As we carry out this departure, we have made it clear to the Taliban: If they attack our personnel or disrupt our operation, the U.S. presence will be swift, and the response will be swift and forceful. We will defend our people with devastating force if necessary. Our current military mission is short on time, limited in scope and focused in its objectives: Get our people and our allies as safely and quickly as possible. And once we have completed this mission, we will conclude our military withdrawal. We will end America’s longest war after 20 long years of bloodshed. There's some truth in the saying "Let sleeping dogs lie...." 7 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Popular Post New Haven Neil Posted August 17, 2021 RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2021 Well we managed to move the car without incident, however trying to stop an old Ford with drum brakes and no servo (dead engine) AND the towing Honda 4x4 down a steep entry ramp to the garages was 'fun', or something. Clenched to the seat..... Of course the rain has stopped now. Pah. 2 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that worked today so that's good, just hope nothing untoward emerges from it. An appropriate time I fancy to thank publicly once again all of the NHS staff who have been attending to me (and everyone else!) over the last few months. With the odd notable exception (as mentioned previously) they have all done a splendid job. I have to say, it's great to feel like a human being once again and to be able to just "do stuff".

Popular Post Sir TophamHatt Posted August 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2021 Afternoon! A little late today. Here's a story: Mrs Hatt's car went in the garage the other week for a service. All done. My car went in a week later for it's MOT. As Mrs Hatt went out to pick up Master Hatt, she broke down. Right at a super busy junction, put foot on the clutch and it just went down... nothing. Considering I'd used it just that day to travel to work and back, it was fine. I was just picking my car up when she called so I went to rescue her. Then called the garage out as it was clearly broken. Had an old 02 plate Focus from the garage, while they had Mrs Hatt's car in. Drove to work yesterday was fine. Get back to the car and the rear wheel... flat as a pancake. *sigh* However, I managed to change it fairly easily with the small scissor jack. Luckily the garage called to say Mrs Hatt's car was ready so swapped them. Driving at 50mph on the motorway is not fun though. Especially when you still get cars up the rear end... despite there being another lane to overtake :/ At least I got home okay. 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lurker Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Greetings all from LBG - another day in the office, and it is grey but dry outside. I need to get home at a reasonable hour because Mrs Lurker is going to an event at Stanfords (travel book people). Yesterday's meetings went as predicted, although one tax authority has put an end to kicking the can down the road by setting a three week deadline for all outstanding info. Most of it is available; if only they had actually prepared the accounts and done the tax returns like they were supposed to.... I hope that Tigerburnie's investigation goes OK, likewise PupCam, and that Chrisf gets satisfactory results later this week. And also that Jamie continues to feel OK and that the lurgy doesn't strike him harder. Have a good day all! 14 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday afternoon I got the result of the day 8 Covid test that I took on Saturday. It was positive. I now need to self isolatr till the dsy we go back. For the moment I feel OK apart from mild cold/ flu symptoms. As long as that stays the same and I'm OK on yhe 23rd and 24th then we can travel on the 25th as planned. All the others in yhe house are fine and negative on lateral flow tests. I have no idea where I picked it up but my brother in law is awaiting gor a PCR result. We met them in a restaurant a week ago and I got my cold/flu symptoms on Saturday. It's all a bit of a mystery. Anyway I have some coach kits to work on and books to read and another DIY task has been allocated. Also a certain smalll pink tornado is fine. Pup Cam, good luck with the scan. Tigerburnie, good result and hope that the next results are also good. Jamie Be careful there Jamie as you had one of those 'el-cheapo' foreign vaccines courtesy of the EU it won't be as effective as good old made in Britain ones!!! Well at least the BiL now has confirmation that he's got Covid- mind you if his test comes back negative! You really are a plague carrier arnt you - chicken pox - covid. Should be calling you Typhoid Mary. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post Barry O Posted August 17, 2021 RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2021 Had a funny sort of a day. Started well ( a trip to Waitrose and a cheesmongers for supplies for visitors lunch tomorrow. Came home, glued myself to various bits of modelling items (but it didn't stick the bits which needed to stick! Pah!) The super builder next door broke his mini digger so has been laying bricks.. erm.. no need for a damp proof course apparently.. and not much need for mortar in places people can't see. The cavity is also way to small... still.. they won't be around to see it fall down I suppose! Then.. my cricket "troll" is having a go at both me and my cricketer son. He rally has gone too far! As for his sidekick.. it could end very, very badly. Chicken Pasta bake for tea... time to go and help! Baz 1 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lurker Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 When I got to Sidcup station, I saw this: https://www.newsshopper.co.uk/news/19519588.two-hospital-bus-crashes-sidcup-building/ there were lots of police cars as well by the time I got there. the bus would have just gone round a turning circle so should have had no passengers on it and could not to have been going very fast.

simontaylor484 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Trolls, they can hide behind their tippy tappy spreading their poison and vitriol not caring who they hurt. I hope they get their comeuppance Baz a visit from a couple of Irish men in balaclavsas would scare the bejesus out of them or our Hippo friend may know some suitable "gentlemen". Other recourse s are available via solicitors but not as much fun Hope you and your son manage to sort them out 3 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simontaylor484 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Earlier in the BBC website was an article about some idiot that has had to be evacuated from Kabul because he was there on HOLIDAY. It reminded me of something that happened to my Mum. She used to work for a bank, One day she answered the phone it was a customer with a problem, she asked if he could come into the branch to sort it. The reply was " No I can't I'm in Afghanistan " Mum replied "Are you having a nice holiday" Err I'm not on holiday My mum apologised straight away and got the manager to sort out his problem there and then Bearing in mind my brother had been called up as a an Raf reservist at this sort of time 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium polybear Posted August 17, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 17, 2021 A medium kinda day for Bear - paint spread, caulk squirted, tidying & sorting done. Tick I also sent a text to the Tiler: "....you'll have to bear with me cos' I'm very busy at the moment....." Not unexpected, but still not what I was hoping. Still, there's no great rush and I can wait. Someone beat me to a kitbuilt loco on the TW thread. Turdycurses Tomorrow sees a meet-up with a couple of guys from the Model Engineering Class at a local Cafe - a full English could be involved with any luck... Also, the final score on the two rolls of obsolete wallpaper (Super Fresco) on the 'bay was forty six quid plus postage - the seller had a result there. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool and cloudy weather here - still dry but only 21°C. A nice change and a taste of weather to come when the seasons change. Perfect for yardwork, (which I really need to do) but I had a rough night's broken sleep and don't feel great. Televised tennis is on from Cincinnati (ATF/WTA-1000 before the US Open) but they have had a three-hour rain delay - first thought to be a "rogue cloudburst". Little to report so no posting. 14 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Erichill16 Posted August 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2021 Evening All, Not been around much today with mum coming up from Newark so been busy with her. Called off at business this afternoon to find the relief manager a bit distressed. He’d just had a encounter with a very abusive customer who was effing and jeffing and making threats. The ‘patient’ was angry because we couldn’t dispense his prescription because it was out of date. Turned out the ‘patient’ had just returned from five years of Her Majesty’s pleasure and is known around the estate as ‘Machete’. All very unsavoury. Relief manger doesn’t want to take the matter further though I’d be happy to proceed. SWMBO and myself decided to stay until closing time as it was obvious he’d been shaken by the whole affair, When we move to the new premises security will be much better and I’ve decided we’ll review it again before and work commences. Anyway I’ve got a hospital appointment in Sheffield tomorrow morning so I’d better say goodnight, Robert 1 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
