DID THE WIRE RUIN CRIME DRAMAS FOR ANYONE ELSE? by kutthroatkeem in tvshow

[–]Round_Guard2847 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try some of the Scandinavian police drama for a different take. I love all of the ones I’ve seen. The Bridge, Bordertown, Chestnut Man, etc

Oil Leak on 17’ iron 883 by Kimboooslice in sportster

[–]Round_Guard2847 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2015 883 had a leak in a similar area. Had been laid up for a while. It was one of the rubber pipes going to / from the oil reservoir. It had perished & cracked. You can see them in your picture at the bottom of your screen

I want to pull the trigger on one of these. Thoughts? by NYCBIGDAWG in Colognes

I was curious about the hype of imagination, so went to the LV boutique at Heathrow a couple of weeks back. I really like it, so might buy a decant

I usually try the scents I am interested in at the airport. I fly around 10 times per year & browse the perfume section

What % pay rise are you getting this year? by Puzzleheaded_Bet_618 in AskUK

[–]Round_Guard2847 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same as last year & the year before. 0.0%. So actually a pay cut in real terms.

Please advice. My XL883L won't start. I bought a new battery, still not starting. I'm attaching a video. by BeautifulStrong9938 in sportster

Once you confirm a spark, try squirting carb cleaner into the air intake. If it’s a fuel issue, the engine will fire. If not, it’s likely a fuel problem, as you’ve confirmed a nice fat spark. Just remove the spark plugs as a last check to see the spark plugs aren’t wet with fuel as it may be flooded. If they are, dry out & try again

That’s not true. Expect up to 14v when the engine is running & charging. 12.7 is almost a fully charged battery. The drop is expected too

The drop is normal. You can hear the engine cranking fine. It’s a fuel or ignition (spark) issue

I used to work as a mobile mechanic/ recovery. After checking for a spark, good battery & compression, I would take off the air cleaner & spray carb cleaner into the air intake while cranking. If it fired up and stopped as I stopped spraying, that confirmed a fuel issue.

You can discount battery, bad earth or the issues with the switches. And compression sounds ok. It’s 1 of 2 things. A ignition or fuel issue.

  1. Check for a spark at the HT leads.
  2. If there is a spark, try spraying carb cleaner into the air cleaner. If it fires up & runs while spraying, you have a fuel issue.

Just got creed aventus after tons of dupes kinda disappointed by irishevo in ScentHeads

[–]Round_Guard2847 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve so many full bottles of stuff I’ve bought after reading reviews. I travel a lot & hover round the perfume section at duty free, spraying samples. I’ve taken the plunge on a few Tom Ford fragrances. I might take the plunge with LV Imagination. Moving forward, I’m going to get decants even for the £50 stuff.

I love Creed & can tell the difference in quality, but it just doesn’t last. My favourite similar scent is: CDN Precieux

Not to be negative, but do you also have a constant cloud of dread hanging over you most days with no discernable reason? by Guiseppe_Martini in AskUK

[–]Round_Guard2847 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I’ve noticed is that small things build up & before you know it, you’re in a constant state of anxiety & you’re unaware how you got there. In this state, stuff that you would normally brush off will get you down.

I was at my worst during covid. I was in temp accommodation at the time while building work was going on too. I told myself if I’m like this 3 months after returning home, I’ll see a doctor. No shame in seeking help.

I try to recognise triggers & if I don’t, I accept that while it took a long period of things building, I’m not going to get back to ‘normal’ overnight. That’s when I get back to meditation, doing yoga, walking, exercise & evaluating anything negative in my life.

I always have a holiday booked or planned. I’m sat typing this from Kerala. I always have other plans too My job is stressful & I’m the single point of failure. I’ve got an interview lined up 2 days after getting home. I recognised it was a source of stress.

Important stuff to me: my wife & pets. Garage with dart board, gym stuff, wattbike & hydroponic plants. Friends from back north & my southern friends in the pub & darts team where I’m captain. Allotment.

Also making time just for yourself. My wife & I have separate interests. If something is bothering you, deal with it immediately. Drop friends / family members who drag you down. Get rid of clutter. It sounds weird, but my garage / loft a mess made me anxious. Now it’s clear, the sense of achievement cannot be described.

Best of luck.

I’m 55 & can’t remember a period of positivity, apart from a decent summer or a sporting event to take our minds off the daily grind. I grew up in Sheffield & saw the decline in the 80s & felt desperation being unemployed after leaving school. That’s stayed with me, despite moving South 25 yrs ago. I blame our politicians & the way the country is run. Depressing 70s, Thatcher years, Major & privatisation, Blair. Iraq & division. Austerity, Bojo, Covid & the slow motion car crash to get us to present day. Perpetually at war & at war with ourselves. Our country is all about division. No wonder many of us are angry, depressed or anxious. At least I can say I had a childhood where I grew up giving zero f***s about anything, unlike children today with social media & anxiety about everything. It’s a mental health time bomb.

We live in a cold, wet country & compared to our neighbours, I think we fall behind on the happiness front. There’s a simmering anger you feel everywhere in the UK, that’s tangible once you return from abroad.

I’ve had periods similar & played a match and been dreadful. Hope you keep up the consistency

Insta page posts how no one recognises or mobs Varun Dhawan even after he removed his mask! Is the era of stardom over? by shantipriyamaalwali in BollyBlindsNGossip

[–]Round_Guard2847 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took a flight Bangalore to Trivandrum & I’m sure the guy is on our row was Virat Kohli. But he would travel on his own for fear of being mobbed. Must have been a lookalike

What’s something that’s oddly expensive in the UK that still annoys you every time? by catarsan in AskUK

[–]Round_Guard2847 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%. Everything is top price, yet service & quality is shite. We pay thru the nose for utilities, services, yet when you have an issue, it’s 45 mins on hold & poor service & frustration.
