  1. Have a look at the owners club Facebook group or forum for the particular make/model of car you're looking at, there are some very knowledgeable people on them (along with some nutters) that can be a great place for advice on what to look for when buying. Speaking from experience the Suzuki Jimny one has been invaluable to me, both for advice pre purchase and re assurance post purchase!
  2. Try some Forte DPF cleaner, go out for a drive and really boot it, high speed, lower gear on the dual carriageway. I had the same problem on my old Toyota Urban Cruiser, quoted £2000 for a new (genuine) DPF, which was double the value of the car at the time and was never going to happen. It took a fair while of thrashing it at about 60mph in 3rd gear, just below the red line on the rev counter before it went.
  3. I'm a big fan of Halloween horror Nights. I wasn't sure if I'd like it the first time I went, but it is some laugh! The haunted houses are great to look at inside and you will definitely get some jump scares but nothing outrageous (imo)! Get express passes if you can afford it, makes the evening much more enjoyable if you can do things at your own pace, don't be surprised to see queues of over 2hrs between 8 and 11pm. With an express pass the longest we waited the last time was 15 mins.
  4. Had an 1hr 30 min international transfer through Frankfurt last week from Newark (United) to Lufthansa for Edinburgh. The worst part was the shuttle bus from Terminal C to Terminal B, which seemed to take an age, but in the end we had ample time to make the connection. The Newark to Frankfurt flight was delayed by 15 mins or so but we never had to go back through security or reclaim bags so it was fine!
  5. Playpark in the village I live in was chained shut by P&K council, seemed a bit overkill to me! As an aside, my 88 year old grandfather was admitted to hospital on Xmas eve with a pretty severe urine infection, and now has covid. Symptom-less so far afaik, but he'll be a "in hospital with covid" statistic now.
  6. Kermode's Secrets of Cinema on BBC4, enjoyable as always.
  7. I was there in October 2018 and it was great for roller coasters, it was so quiet we practically had the park to ourselves, never waited any longer than the next carriage to arrive at the station for any of the rides. Probably not much to do with younger kids though. Plus it is a fairly long drive from the Kissimmee area, but it's not a difficult drive, mostly on the freeway. From memory it was about an hour and a half from our villa.
  8. Transferred through Schiphol to Atlanta last year, you don't have to go through passport control/security again. You do have to go for a interview thing with a security person who asks you questions like "What is the purpose of your visit to the USA?" etc, and they will ask to see your passport and put a sticker on it. Between getting off the KLM plane and the interview thing and getting to the gate for the Delta flight to Atlanta took about 40 mins or so.
  9. Was with Delta to Orlando in October, was decent enough, food was fairly good and alcohol was free on the trans Atlantic flight, think it was charged on the domestic flights though. Good selection on the in flight entertainment as well. Much better than United Airlines in my experience.
  10. On the subject of Liam's band; bring back Bonehead, Guigsy and Alan
  11. People who rush out of a junction to get ahead of you only to drive at a snails pace for the next 10 miles. c***s.
  12. Waters is the King's Landing b*****d name iirc
  13. Saw Kosta in riverside tesco last night - clearly been taking fashion tips from Haber.
  14. A gif of Stewart scything Dixon down in front of the Derry would be nice right about now.
  15. C'mon, worst to watch in a decade? You just lost all credibility with that one. Every time we have a poor result this nonsense gets wheeled out - I've seen plenty worse Dundee sides than this one and I'm only 25. Scottish football is what it is, every side in the league apart from Celtic struggles with erratic form most seasons. You've clearly made your mind up though, so just support Manchester United and Real Madrid and be done with it.
  16. A sense of entitlement that would make a Rangers fan blush.
  17. Knew this would happen - we've not had a good sacking for a few years now, the support must be getting restless.
  18. Fender Japan 51 Precision Bass Fender Mexican Jazz Bass Hofner 500/1 bass Fender Mexico Telecaster Eden 600w bass amp I'm one of the clichéd failed guitarists turned bassist; I've been strictly bass for around 8 years now, and I'm still no expert! I still gig fairly regularly with a Scottish Traditional/ceilidh band, however the gigs I've enjoyed the most over the years have been straightforward rock cover gigs - decent bar to play I and a lot of drink and they can be a great laugh!
  19. Groundhog day. Name a manager who is available, who would do a better job?
  20. I was forced to sit in my actual seat in the Derry for the first time last weekend, which is right in the middle of the "trouble area" in the front corner next to the away support. Tremendous atmosphere down there!
  21. The place is totally bi-polar, one week we're the greatest team ever to grace Dens park, and the week after we've got a team that would struggle to win League 2. Totally embarrassing knee jerk reaction stuff. The long term vision of the club surely has to be built around stability and losing four games on the bounce is hardly end of the world stuff. Edited for poor grammatical skillz.
  22. I'm not overly concerned. Every team has poor spells, just unfortunate that we've played United and Aberdeen so close together, which were always going to be tough matches, and ones that we were unlikely to win either way. Ross County was a poor result, but shit happens! As long as we don't hit panic stations and do anything stupid, we'll come good again.
  23. Massive improvement from the team tonight, disappointed not to go through, but we gave United a good game despite being down to 10 men for 70 odd minutes. Penalty miss was a bad one though!
