Would have done if he would have sold me the tyre. I will be changing it soon as 100% certain it won't pass the MOT with them.

It's a very light gouge, but rather be safe than sorry!

Had my final AS exam this morning. RE, consisted of about 8 small essays in 2.5 hours. Glad it's over.

Morning,

picked up some bug which has been wiping me out. Yesterday I could barely summon the energy to move. My sympathetic daughter asked me if I was going to be more fun today.... kids!

Android is a great OS but from playing about with several phones it makes a huge difference which handset you get in order toake Android properly useful. The HTCs are top of their class though, but only the latest ones have a decent sized memory.

Morning Everyone.

Scenic route again today. Missed 2 buses due to oversleeping.

Helps if I get some sleep the evening before work I guess, but too much to do and too many things on my mind.

Gouge/cut/split or whatever damage to sidewall...get shot! The bracing is the last straw and you really should not even be driving if it's that close to the internal structure.....speed/high temp and friction=blow out :¬((

Evening all...

spent a fortune this weekend...and more to come. Washing my car this afternoon and saw a U shaped gouge in my front left tyre. Frantically looking for a garage and managed to get to one in time, only to be told..."it's not showing any bracing...it's fine" :S

Still a bit worried about it as driving about 200 miles tomorrow. It may have been like this for a while, but still a bit anxious. May take it to another dealer in the week for another opinion. Especially as MOT is due at the end of the month.

On a brighter note..managed to type half of my site's report at Bodmin Gaol. just have the final five hours to decipher and write/type up now...

I really fancied an iphone but not too sure now, so may go for an HTC HD....android phone....eldest son got new blackberry touchscreen from tmobile the other day....he's really pleased with it but has connection problems in different parts of the UK....sheffield great, leicester poor....the phone has an app which finds and displays coverage within the UK and in some areas it's non-existence. But then again you do have the option to change connection bands ie 2g, 3g etc, but should you have to? :¬)

I'm due an upgrade with t-mobile in two days, I was wondering if you guys could suggest any phones. I kinda want a blackberry for the messenger, but I don't really care much about the social networking aspect. Are android phones good?
