He managed to go out for most of the day which was fine, then got lost and arrived back late (again).

We all sat down for dinner eventually outside, 5 minutes into eating, he smashed a glass full of red wine (as he wasnt looking what he was doing), all over the terrace which is now stained and presently the mess wont come off :( I'll have another try today to remove it, but more work to do.

1 day left. (wasntme)
Brake cleaner shifts most stuff Cookie pal, or try this

Not used it myself but my neighbour told me it is very effective and he used it to get a stain out of a granite work top. Cheap enough to try.

Computers, CRM systems, and Outlook emails, and lack of space to be able to send attachments with emails,
And CRM systems, and computers again lol......

Why is there no rhyme or reason to why these things can do things one day and something different the next, when you have done nothing any different......Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Sorry mate.. didn't mean to make anyone feel awkward. Oh god can you imagine - I'd have to redo the year and I genuinely don't think I could.

Fingers crossed for better than 42% :D

Right, today is the day we get our freedom. Today is the day he goes. Today is the day I can relax and not worry about what he can break, what time we can eat, if he's even going to get up.

Today will be a good day (groupdrink)




However.....

Mrs C and I are laying odds on a) his bags will be too big for Ryanair. b) he forgets to check in online.

We are not reminding him and making sure we are in front of him in the queue too. (finger)

Yesterday he went out and we asked him to be back way before 6:30 as we wanted to eat then. What time did he come back stinky and sweaty? 7pm.

Then sat there after dinner eating chocolate bars he'd obviously bought that day. Did he offer one to us? No. Fecker has been eating our food, wine and beer all week and doesn't offer anything.

Mrs C won't let me kill him. Probably best (punch)

I need a holiday after this week :@

Eventually. After fecking about in the airport for 30 mins, but yes.

We did find several wet towels in his bedroom (he helped himself to new ones instead of drying the one we have him outside after a shower).

He also had and ate loads of sweets and snacks, including sneaking food after we had gone to bed each night, we found the wrappers in the bins. Mrs C works so hard feeding everyone, she was so mad.

Never again.. (fubar)

Jeez he is a pr!(k, you guys were setting him up for a lovely week away, instead he threw it in both your faces. I'm not surprised Mrs C was angry about the food that's just rude and wet dirty towels I have no idea what makes a person think its acceptable. Well he clearly won't be getting a second invite lol!

My RPHA 11 lids visor. I've had 3 visors. 1 clear and 2 tinted. The clear visor has had minimal use. The first tinted visor had a fair amount of use and my new tinted visor has had minimal use too.

My first tinted visor got a chunk missing from the latch, the clear one has got a crack in it and this new tinted one has started to get s crack in it.

I've got 3 picture of the latch of how it starts to how it finishes.

I have not been using the latch to push or pull the visor up or down on the first pic

Tinted visor with small crack - this will just get worse from now, clear visor with a pretty big crack in it, then the last pic is of my old tinted visor which finally ended up with a chunk missing and in the rubbish bin.

Seriously is this what we should expect?! These visors aren't cheap either! ImageImageImageImageImage

I feel your pain, my RPHA 70 is currently back at Oxford for inspection after cracking it's 2nd visor in 6 months.
The 2nd one was supposed to be a updated design and not vulnerable to cracking from the latch.

Are these things cracking because of temperature....or lack thereof?

Its affecting a lot of people then. They haven't done a good enough job on such a used bit of gear. I dont even lock the latch anymore due to this issue, regardless of what I do seems to always crack. They need to find a fix for this. Or I'll be off HJC and will be going for a different manufacturer. Never had any issues with any other lid I've had apart from this one!

It Couldn't imagine it's got anything to do with temp as I've used it in cold weather and hot weather and still the same issues

Stress cracks from a piss poor design. Needs thicker plastic where the metal latch is screwed to the visor, HJC seem happy to just keep selling visor's or replacing them under warranty.
