Chummy at White Bear Theatre | Tuesday, May 23, 2017

7:53 PM

Show #25 of #2017 was #Chummy at #whitebeartheatre which I shamefully ignored when I lived nearer. Bit of a miss unfortunately, mostly because it was so fooking cold in there with the AC cranked right up. Story was quite good, acting quite good but it never really got going in the freezing cold. Shame. #johnfoster #alicekornitzer #theatre #londontheatre

Long Hair in London | Friday, May 19, 2017

6:21 PM

It’s definitely #haircut day around these parts. And finally, a #hairdresser who “gets it”! A long hair specialist, who spent an age cutting all the split ends out, trimmed it to perfection and is definitely my new hairdresser. Next time I won’t leave it 18 months between cuts. Step forward #NeilWard at #stevencarey hair in #mayfair. #longhair #longhairinlondon #hair

Lotus Carltons, plural | Friday, May 19, 2017

A pair of #Lotus #Carltons, brilliant! Except that the one of the right was very tatty inside. Nice to be used, a legendary motor but they’re showing their age now :) #car #performance

Glow Plugs | Tuesday, May 16, 2017

9:37 PM

This is wot helps your #diesel start in the morning. #GlowPlugs. Diesel burns without a spark, just squish it with some air and it’ll explode, its good like that, but it needs a bit of help when cold. Diesel is sprayed directly onto the glowing end of one of these and ignites. #engine #combustion #bosch #glowplug

2006 Audi Allroad 3.0 | Tuesday, May 16, 2017

8:56 AM

And Project #Allroad begins! Found a far-too-cheap #Audi with a phenomenal spec and it’s time to get it sorted. Ace tuner Bobby Singh already found a burnt-out relay causing cut-outs which #Germantech could figure out. Garages. Rubbish. It’s at Bobby’s now for a #remap and boost sensor replacement to push it to 300HP, followed by some new tie rod ends and some other suspension de-squeakification. The biggest bonus of having the fuelling remapped is not the extra 70HP, but getting rid of the horrible polluting diesel smoke. Diesels on the road are so badly-tuned, disgusting vehicles with black smoke pouring out. They don’t need to be like that. Cars are polluting enough without making them worse.

Life Of Galileo preview at Young Vic Theatre | Friday, May 12, 2017

11:07 PM

Show #23 of #2017 earlier this week was a preview of #LifeOfGalileo @youngvictheatre which was full of energy and promises to be brilliant in the final run - apart from a tedious and immature musical number in the second half that nearly derailed the entire thing. But they picked it up and brought it back. Great staging, triffic music, make sure you sit around the outside - it’s three hours! #bertholdbrecht #theatre #londontheatre #youngvic
