I'm trying to be sensible and put it away into my holiday savings (because I ended up spending my holiday money on medical bills and now only have 30 euro saved for a holiday that's happening in 7 weeks :pac: ), but 90% of my brain is screaming at me to get a tattoo. :pac:

Ms. Koi

Decided to service the bike today, did the oil and filters, took off the coils and cleaned them up, cleaned the connections etc. and then went to change the plugs. Taking out the first plug.....it broke in the head. AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: The simplest job of all turns out to be the biggest feckin' nightmare!!! The whole engine has to come out now and be taken apart!

Try this.Happened me before in a coupe.Get a fairly big flat head screwdriver and a hammer.Hammer the screwdriver down into the stuck plugs.Try loosen with a vice grips around the shaft of the screwdriver.I managed to get 2 broken plugs out of a head this way.You've nothing to lose trying it since the head will have to come Off anyway if u don't get it out.

Adiboo

Just fired off my CV for the new coffee shop opening in my town. Y'all keep your fingers crossed for me

Esoteric_

Good luck, Adi.

Atavan-Halen

Good luck!

Angron

Good luck Adiboo.

Orim

G'Luck Adi.

Anyone about? Works going well. Getting a decent opportunity to make a proper difference to how things work and it looks like it could lead to more travel chances and other such good stuff so yay.

Finally got a car sorted as well so more chances to see stuff

Watching Ink Masters. Quite a cool show. It's a masterchef/next top model style competition. Much better then the rest of those realty shows because it gives you a lot of insight into the actual ideas behind tattooing.

Saw a trailer for Prisoners, looks awesome.

jenizzle

How's Seattle? Did you meet Mike McCready yet?!

Ankhyu

Good luck Adi!

Oohhh, nice one. Never thought of that. Must try that. Cheers man.

Howdy, folks! I'm just back from a trip to the opticians and get this: I have weak eye muscles meaning my eyes are slightly ajar like this: <__>
I never knew but the guy spotted it the second I walked in the door. He's very good and thorough-he spent over 30 minutes testing me and fine-tuning my prescription until it was perfect. Turns out I'm slightly short-sighted so I'm getting a lovely spiffy pair of purple glasses for my troubles. They're pretty fancy too: Anti-glare and anti-scratch lens. No more squinting at the screen for me!

I've used this method a good few times and 70 % of the time it works
Pkm dot be afraid to give it a good smack. Need to embed it into the plugs
Only ever had this problem with cheap spurious plugs. Never had a problem with the iridium plugs.
Just seen there's wifi on Dublin bus now.
Wtf????

Love the new glasses feeling!

Not looking forward to tonight, nana's anniversary mass and it's the first since grandad passed away...going to be very emotional and I'm feeling **** as it is. had people cancel plans this week and it's just adding to my general pants mood.
I do have my first student assessment on Friday, so I'm excited. I can't wait to start teaching, it's going to be so much fun. looking up stuff for the Hdip tomorrow I think, don't think I should do it today...
Getting a new tattoo on Saturday hopefully with my little sis, she's moving to scotland in a few weeks so we're getting little elephants before she leaves!

There's Wifi on some of the busses alright, not all though. My bus does though, tis dead handy

McC, you should look into buying glasses online. I've used Goggles4u and Firmoo - both are really cheap but the quality of Firmoo is slightly better. You'd get a pair for about €15. I need to order new glasses myself, I lost my prescription sunglasses

+1 for buying online. I got 2 pairs of glasses and a pair of prescription sunglasses delivered for €100. I also need to get those thin lenses because my eyesight is crap.

Price I was quoted in a Dublin shop for 1 pair of the cheapest frames with first grade of thin lenses was over €100.

Edit: You need to know your pupil distance ( opticians like not to tell you this)

What do you mean by pupil distance, is that distance apart from each other? I only just bought new glasses, am picking them up from Specsavers on Saturday. Luckily there was an offer on and I didn't spend as much as I thought I'd have to, especially with the lens thinning as well (I'm blind as a bat :pac:). But I'd be tempted to pick up a pair of sunglasses online for driving if I could!

googled eyes

Pupil distance is measured either from pupil to pupil or pupil to middle of nose x2

You can find things youtube for how to measure it at home, stand a couple of feet away from a mirror with a ruler. This will give you a pd from pupil to pupil. Or look in a mirror and put a dot on your glasses where your pupils are. Measure from dot to dot
