Bonniebird Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 No Frankfurt Main and Lufthansa - security and checkin staff strike for the airport.He's getting a train to Munich (clearly the wrong direction!) in the morning and a flight back from there to Birmingham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 should have gone to the port and got on the ferry I would have done him brekkie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonniebird Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Bob tried to check in on-line for the Munich flight this morning and it wouldn't let him - turned out that the new ticket hadn't been issued. Then his train was delayed for 35 minutes this morning so he won't make the original connection to the airport. F**k it!So much for German efficiencyOn his way now and the ticket sorted - hopefully he'll make the flight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonniebird Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Ein prosit gemügligkeit and all that He's been there two weeks now though - I think the novelty is wearing a bit thin - should be on the second train to the airport about now so fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Well.....that was an odysee. .... Still.....my swedish colleague got to Frankfurt Airport yesterday to find his flight cancelled. ....so had to find an hotel nearby. ...and his flight wasn't until 5:30 this afternoon. And my American colleague was due to fly home today......turned up at Frankfurt Airport this morning and found out that his travel dept had booked his flight for 22nd March. .... Anyway, he managed to get a flight booked for tomorrow. So....the only ones that got back trouble free were the 2 who drove (Belgium and Denmark).But I did manage a beer and bratwurst at the airport Ian. .....would've been rude not to.....

Fozzie Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 The stress of airports and flying really does do more damage to your health than the cosmic radiation that quadruples when you are at altitude 2 days left of work and then I'm off for a week and a half... But I have to get through the 2 days so in the best way... f**k it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nman1 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 f**k it. Check weather forecast every morning so I know how to pack my rucksack. Waterproofs or not. They got a bit wet last night so left them to dry and at home and just as I`m about to leave for home it starts raining with black clouds in the direction I`m going. BBC Weather shite.

nman1 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 f**k IT, I`m in a very bad place at the moment. Designed a house for a client about two weeks ago and he loved the plans, the look of the place and the layout. After receiving the plans he asks a truss manufacturer to design a truss giving his requirements for room widths and heights without showing them my design or mentioning this fact to me. They give him a truss drawing which totally re-designs the building and the client wants to go with their say.f**king wonderful, a truss supplier designing (and totally f**king up) a house. I`ll ask our f**king cleaner to take over when she come in cus she`s not had 34 years experience in designing houses. Unbelievable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikolees Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 f**k IT, I`m in a very bad place at the moment. Designed a house ...... Unbelievable.

nman1 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 That`s the boss`s problem, I`m just mad that a truss dictates the design of house, it should be the other way round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Old Git Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I don't know about house design but a truss can certainly dictate how you ride (or so I'm told)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I have sold the Sprint and before it is collected I decided to give it a shakedown run a couple of weeks back.....during the run I noticed that one of the fork seals had started to leak.....f*ck it!So...I replaced the fork seals and took the bike for another shakedown run on Sunday.....the electrics started playing silly buggers.....so I got the bike back home and investigated.....you could cook an egg on the Reg/Rec....and the battery voltage with the engine running was 12.8v.....Reg/Rec goosed....f*ck it! Fortunately I had a spare Reg/Rec for the bike (as it shares the same one with the Speedie and I bought a job lot of bits just over a year ago). Fitted the replacement Reg/Rec.....charging voltage now 14.2v at tickover.....Hoorah!! and replacement Reg/Rec gets warm but not hot....as would be expected.... So...I thought I'd take the bike for a little run yesterday late afternoon.....pre-ride checks and spotted a nail head in the rear tyre.....did the spit test on it....yep, it was bubbling.....F*CK IT! Gotta get the wheel over to the bike place where they said they'll see if it can be repaired as the nail is near the centre of the tyre....so long as it's gone in straight......otherwise it'll need a new tyre....and the current tyres have less than 200 miles been done on them..... At least I'm kinda happy that these problems have occurred before the bike went to its new owner.....I would have been mortified if they'd happened after Alex had picked the bike up....
