Finally mustered enough energy to pop to the shop to get some bread and milk.... and nope, the universe had other plans as usual :roll:

No worries, had a spare wheel in the garage, nice brand new jack I can finally use.. but nope.. The universe wasn't done yet..

Stupid jack would pump up, but wouldn't release pressure, didn't seem to be any obvious way to do it. Instructions say turn the handle, but nope.. After fighting with it for about 10 mins, decided just to get my heavy duty ones from the back of the garage which are so heavy I can hardly even lift the bugger !

Damn that looks like a new ish tyre. If you're lucky it's far enough from the edge for a repair. Good luck

I think Google should have a filter option to filter all sites out protected by Cloudflare at this point !

I mean I told them to close it like over a decade ago! They wouldn't ! Not even when I mentioned data protection act, they wouldn't remove me from the system.. Like how am I supposed to even use PayPal when I've been banned the entire time.. How about PayPal protect my account from .. say.. Paypal !That be a useful protection ! How more restricted can it be from being banned anyway ?! Good riddance to the POS company !

In other news, finally got the bracket off my chair. Considering I had it in bits like a month again, one bolt refused to come out :roll: Can clearly see how the thing has bent out of shape in the first place :roll: So its off to my metal-work fab guy to make some similar but something which won't break !

My 2 main parts brokers haven't got back to me in over a week either now either. Nobody seems to care or be bothered about anything anymore !
