Today we woke up around 7:30 AM on the wrong side of the river in London, and we prepared to get out of town to change the Punto’s tyres (that’s how you’re supposed to spell it) up at a place north of London near Harlow, close to where the fine folks at D+K Mobile Servicing are located. We had found a pretty sweet deal on some Avon Avanza AV10 tyres, and we had an appointment around 11 AM to finally pimp out our car with some sweet rubber. Bleary eyed, we packed our bags, checked out of the hotel, and packed the Punto to head out. We got in the car and turned the ignition…
Only to find a dead battery.
The day before we had driven during the day and hadn’t turned on the headlights at all, but we found out from one of the hotel restaurant waiters that they had seen the headlights of tour Punto on and had tried to find the owners. Our car has a peculiar kink where if you turn the key too far when you’re turning the car off, the headlamps turn on.
Thankfully, the hotel is located right beside a auto shop (and shares the parking lot with it), and an awesome lad from Uruguay gave us some juice (we tried to tip him but he refused) and we were on our way.
People post links to websites that have (for exlampe) live streaming football and they nearly always have .blogspot. in the link. When I follow these there is just match details and adverts, no football (even when I know the game is being played). Do I need to install something or sign up to something?. February 25, 2013
