The General Babblings of Chris Wild
Rant
I’m pretty pissed today… I’ve only just picked up on that fact that SKY have snatched the rights to lost away from Channel 4. Up until now I had wrongly assumed that they were just showing them earlier like they do with so many other things.
This has really bloody annoyed me! I don’t have sky, don’t intend to have sky… so this means I know either have to buy the DVD’s or give in to piracy and start downloading them from the states…
TV, Rant, Lost, Bad Day, Channel 4, SkyI took my car to the garage yesterday; it was ready for its 90k service. As part of the service the garage gives the car a clean, which is a good thing as I hardly ever do… 🙁
So, I pick my nice sparkly car up and head over to work where I leave it in the car park for the next 8 hours… I leave the office at 7 o’clock and walk down to the car…
THE BASTARDS…
My card has been bombarded by bird shit. Not just the odd one from a passing bird; this is full on total attack. The car is absolutely covered. Hundreds of hits! It as if they were waiting for me to get a clean car so that they could all take a turn… maybe some rights of passage for the seagulls or the geese…
Now I’m going to gave to clean it at the weekend!

Car was in for it’s MOT yesterday. The only problem relating to the MOT was worn brakes. As it was in the garage, I took the opportunity to get a new key card and have them reprogrammed. I also asked them to look at the faulty tyre pressure sensor that has been giving me grief for over 12 months now.
The final bill was over £550! I grumbled very loudly and the price was brought down to £460 by reducing the labour hours. Now, how come someone can reduce the labour rate without getting managerial authority? That sir, suggests to me that the prices include and “optional” discount.
The final labour was 3 hours at £66 an hour. How does an MOT, changing a sensor, and changing the brakes take over 3 hours?
I still need to fix the front fog light glass. Fix the passenger side speaker, and fix the

Renault, Laguna, MOT, garage, rantWhy has everything got Omega 3 in it nowadays? Yes I currently have choice if I am to buy it or not, but how long before someone decides that we would all be better by getting a guaranteed dose of Omega 3, and forcing it in our food.
Also, my understanding is that there is no proof that Omega 3 actually helps anything according to health information technology
. I don’t have a scientific paper to point at but I remember listenting to a piece on the radio that mentioned that the original findings that Omega 3 is good for you is dubious and flawed. It seems to me as always, just eat a healthy diet and listen to your body. Try from time to time and all will be just fine.
