Wasn’t allowed to reply to the google provided response. And what is the seal keeping in place?(the seal that apparently isn’t allowed to see a petroleum based lubricant…) A: Petroleum based lubricants. ✅
Petroleum based solvents \ lubricants make plastics and rubber swell and then dry out. This leads to cracking or shrinkage.

Fu*king printers. Do we honestly believe the non use of ridiculously expensive OEM print ink and the distinct lack of the printers ability thereafter to see my wifi, print a packing slip or function in any way is un related? There isn’t a printer that’s not a total piece of 💩

What a surprise! A nation of panic buyers have boosted the economy (and the government coffers) by buying over priced fuel. They’ll be pleased as punch when the CG Tax bills come rolling in from the profiteering retailers. Next shocker - Electric car sales up! 🐑

Absolutely genius system where the @BMWGroup 5 series used to tell me every five mins what it needed, and then, as we approach the end of warranty, I get a 150 mile to service warning at the start of a 900 mile week. Local stealers are 5 weeks until the next available slot 🙈🙊🙉

Engineering degree, chartership, a fellowship even, but alas, my time in education, further & higher & all of my professional learning, development, awards & patents etc , haven’t generated the requisite skills to find out what I’m paying for my @HastingsDirect insurance policy.

Generally sat in a quiet office with my dogs, so when the pious, Prius driving pronoun that does #ITshit @apple decides to over rule my clicking every DO NOT AUTO UPDATE button, X gets my wrath. I hope theys Frappuccino is cold & their grumpy rescue cat scratches their eyes out.

This one, my offline reserve, is the last of them BTW. Boot camp. No self appraised diamonds (apple chip) and the last of the proper machines. If anyone can recommend a pretty, robust aluminium bodied laptop, I’d love to see it.

If I came second at Dakar, I’d not be telling everyone I’d ‘lost’. Also, rally is AT LEAST 50% navigation. #Dakar

Ha! Guess how many shits any of the local @PeugeotUK dealers give about trying to source parts for my 1996 #106Rallye 🙈🙊🙉 Couldn’t get me off the phone quick enough. Won’t be able to get me a price until after the new year, even if they could be bothered to check inventory.

The world of ‘women’s’ beauty product is mental. I’m a man of the world, honest, but I want to buy a gift, not go on a journey, or subscribe to a ritual of neck cream. I don’t want an account & I don’t want an inbox full of anything other than cars, bikes & boobs (etc). #Elemis

Fiesta officially pressed into service. Tip runs, Tescos and commutes completed so far - slowed me down tho - Amazing how much attention this thing gets - Every man, woman and dog want to talk some 1980’s nostalgia. #XR2 (Still need to put the stripes and back on)

Pleased to have been offered unsolicited financial analysis of one my group CO’s today - by the lad that used to do MOT testing at his brothers village garage. Tomorrow I’m hoping the local crack head offers me guidance on suspension settings for my next Dakar. #Gossip

Hmmm. I like to look for influencers and idiots when I’m at a place, and seemingly #NotreDame is an American football team. So…. #Notredam #NotreDam #NotYoDam (also, big respect to the trades tramping up that scaffold this week in 40 degrees C)

Why is my @X ‘for you’ full of racist cnuts? As a middle aged, Middle English, village dweller, my neighbours are seemingly taking a bit of time out from their busy schedule of scuttling their sisters to scream at the boats. That’s not me tho Ellon. Show me bikes and cars.

Looks like Ducati have been at my mums curtains here 😕

Wondering what the fuel impact of #Greta s pretend humanitarian mission was. (Is it ‘kidnap’ if you’re trying to break a naval barrier?)

I see Brad Pitt and Channing Tatum are linked to a @ttracesofficial documentary/ film. Obviously @jm130tt will be a cameo for the #MagicMike role? #Moves

A million pounds says he (is overweight and) has an aging/unused Blackbird or a Hayabusa. . #TimeStamp #ProperBiker

I need the help of a #TreeSpotter #TreeIdentifier - Can anyone tell me what this is? (The one on the right in pic 2) #Trees

Need to get the little red fiesta out. Too much grey beige. #Crayon #PureGrey #50Shades
