As for NI LR indies, the only one I know is on College Lands Rd near Moy. Can't give you a rec cos I've never used them. But I drive past there a lot and there's always a shedload of RR and Discos outside.

Windscreen chips are always worth fixing before they become disastrous. Cost you a tenner if you have windscreen cover on your insurance.

Can't do MOT history on NI tested cars.

I just Googled. They need a warrant just like the dibble.

Haven't the TV license people got right of entry? Sure I remember reading that ages ago.

I love keeping the "Hello, this is John from Microsoft. There's a problem with your PC" ones on for as long as I can.

No Toolstations in NI. They just opened a new Screwfix just up the road though.

44 quid at Screwfix, I still have the page open. https://www.screwfix.com/c/electrical-lighting/cable/cat8960001#category=cat8960001&cablelength=10_m&conductorarea=10_mm_

I was going to buy some 6mm T+E to install the new oven. Having seen the price I'll be recycling the stuff off the old one.

I am going to see The Pixies in Galway in July. One band I've always wanted to see live and finally scored a ticket.

I was p1ssed off when the local Halfrauds shut a couple of months back but I'm super chuffed to find out Screwfix have moved into their old gaff.

That is mental.

I've got a DeWalt DCD996. Got it in an online deal a couple of years back. Excellent bit of kit.

I knew I had a bag of F-plugs somewhere. I went straight to where I thought they were and there they were. This is such an unusual occurrence I thought I'd mention it.

Didn't Top Gear recreate that with Hammond in the driving seat?

All my cordless stuff is DeWalt so I haz batteries and chargers.

The missis is buying me one of these for crimbo:

I had plans for today. Beeb weather said it was gonna be dry all day. Then it started p1ssing down about 10 o'clock. So I did sod all.

Sorry to say this shows a lack of forward planning. Shame on you.
