@variablepulserate Maybe, but it gets extra things checked, gets oil changed and stuff. There was a time when I did that myself, even changing oil filters, on the old 205.
I guess now the car is 12 years old, maybe having a service history isn't relevant. I shall probably keep it until it breaks now.
Oh, grief. To use swipe typing on the iPad I have to use the Swiftkey keyboard, because Apple seems to think I wouldn't want to do anything other than type. 😡 Trouble is, the Swiftkey keyboard supports two languages only and mine is currently set up for Esperanto and Welsh. It gives some very interesting results at times.
@variablepulserate It's had that forever. Weird, though. Must pay mine before the end of the month. 🙄 And deep joy, next month is MOT/service. Well, by mid-September, but I usually get it done in late August, because I'm less busy.
@matigo I think when I was young it was mostly used as a term for a radio.

@variablepulserate Well that threw me. I assume it’s medicine for the tranny (transmission). Perhaps it’s American terminology? 🤷♀ A long way from my initial guess was, as you might imagine. 🤦♀
Farcebork ads… This one made me blink. I wondered quite how the algorithm picked it for me - so of course I had to look. Something to do with cars. 🤷♀ Well I guess I now know there's such a thing as automatic transmission fluid anti-judder additive. Given I drive an automatic, I'm sure my life is that little bit more complete nowl
@phoneboy Good job you got treatment. I have that sort of reaction to any form of aspirin - pretty much any salicylates. I made the mistake of spraying Ralgex on a bad back once - nearly killed myself!
Allergies seem to be through the roof lately (hmmm… 🤔).
You should find out what the cause is if you can, in case you need to carry an epipen. For me, antihistamines and my inhaler are must-carries nowadays. 🙄
@phoneboy Eww, yikes. Sounds much worse than my episode - I got bitten twice on the wrist a couple of days ago. Friday evening I had to remove the bracelet from my wrist as it swelled up significantly, turning half my lower arm very red, feeling red hot. I took some antihistamines and applied some antihistamine cream. Today it’s much improved, but still swollen & sore.
My wrist feels quite naked without its adornments.
