Not happy that as from now I can't eat or drink anything for the next 28 hours which is when I will hopefully be released from the clutches of the bum doctor. They say I can drink as much water as I like but not the 94% water which I usually drink. Oh and I have to have a sachet of Picolax this evening and another in the morning. I don't think I'll sleep well tonight 

I've just tried to download films since the trip from the dashcam to the USB stick I took and it won't allow it, saying there are corrupt files. Screenshot follows



However, if I download some recent films to another USB stick all is well.

I'm waiting for a company to call me back but they may be on hols. It's definitely going to be a salvage job. I can't think the original USB stick would allow 2 days films to be downloaded and viewable and then corrupt itself so everything points to the B & B free wi-fi somehow affecting it

@zwilnik will tell you Citroen have done themselves no favours at all with their recalls. Seems they're happy to tell you not to drive their vehicles but any expenses e.g. hiring a car are refused to be met.

That reminds me...

A few years ago I had a couple of operations to straighten out some toes. Mrs Papyrus asked the consultant if he did anything else apart from feet.

"No, just feet," he says.

"Why feet?"

"Well, it's better than bums..."

Anyway, back to the matter in hand. Just come back from the opticians where I saw a lovely lady called Rachna, may peace and blessings rain down upon her. She couldn't understand why the glasses weren't correcting the double vision, but every test she tried seemed to indicate it wasn't astigmatism. I had been told I had incipient cataracts but they weren't bad enough to operate on, but she thinks they were mimicking the effect of astigmatism. So she has referred me for surgery. Better still, I am OK to drive with my present glasses. Huzzah! There'll be dancing on the streets tonight.   

Cheers,

Chris

Hi

My car was due at the dealers for a recall today. They even checked whether I was still going yesterday. Drove the 30+ miles this morning to be told the recall is now no longer applicable to my car, they'd only been notified this morning.

Half days holiday wasted.

Cheers

Paul

I was amazed at how far folk had travelled to be there, like from Indonesia!!

P.S. No animals/mammals/birds were hurt in the making of this gig

I note that ELO bow out next weekend also, another excellent son of Birmingham.
