Have a look at the owners club Facebook group or forum for the particular make/model of car you're looking at, there are some very knowledgeable people on them (along with some nutters) that can be a great place for advice on what to look for when buying. Speaking from experience the Suzuki Jimny one has been invaluable to me, both for advice pre purchase and re assurance post purchase!

Try some Forte DPF cleaner, go out for a drive and really boot it, high speed, lower gear on the dual carriageway. I had the same problem on my old Toyota Urban Cruiser, quoted £2000 for a new (genuine) DPF, which was double the value of the car at the time and was never going to happen. It took a fair while of thrashing it at about 60mph in 3rd gear, just below the red line on the rev counter before it went.

I'm a big fan of Halloween horror Nights. I wasn't sure if I'd like it the first time I went, but it is some laugh! The haunted houses are great to look at inside and you will definitely get some jump scares but nothing outrageous (imo)! Get express passes if you can afford it, makes the evening much more enjoyable if you can do things at your own pace, don't be surprised to see queues of over 2hrs between 8 and 11pm. With an express pass the longest we waited the last time was 15 mins.

Had an 1hr 30 min international transfer through Frankfurt last week from Newark (United) to Lufthansa for Edinburgh. The worst part was the shuttle bus from Terminal C to Terminal B, which seemed to take an age, but in the end we had ample time to make the connection. The Newark to Frankfurt flight was delayed by 15 mins or so but we never had to go back through security or reclaim bags so it was fine!

Playpark in the village I live in was chained shut by P&K council, seemed a bit overkill to me! As an aside, my 88 year old grandfather was admitted to hospital on Xmas eve with a pretty severe urine infection, and now has covid. Symptom-less so far afaik, but he'll be a "in hospital with covid" statistic now.

Kermode's Secrets of Cinema on BBC4, enjoyable as always.

I was there in October 2018 and it was great for roller coasters, it was so quiet we practically had the park to ourselves, never waited any longer than the next carriage to arrive at the station for any of the rides. Probably not much to do with younger kids though. Plus it is a fairly long drive from the Kissimmee area, but it's not a difficult drive, mostly on the freeway. From memory it was about an hour and a half from our villa.

Transferred through Schiphol to Atlanta last year, you don't have to go through passport control/security again. You do have to go for a interview thing with a security person who asks you questions like "What is the purpose of your visit to the USA?" etc, and they will ask to see your passport and put a sticker on it. Between getting off the KLM plane and the interview thing and getting to the gate for the Delta flight to Atlanta took about 40 mins or so.

Was with Delta to Orlando in October, was decent enough, food was fairly good and alcohol was free on the trans Atlantic flight, think it was charged on the domestic flights though. Good selection on the in flight entertainment as well. Much better than United Airlines in my experience.

On the subject of Liam's band; bring back Bonehead, Guigsy and Alan

People who rush out of a junction to get ahead of you only to drive at a snails pace for the next 10 miles. c***s.

Waters is the King's Landing b*****d name iirc

Saw Kosta in riverside tesco last night - clearly been taking fashion tips from Haber.

A gif of Stewart scything Dixon down in front of the Derry would be nice right about now.

C'mon, worst to watch in a decade? You just lost all credibility with that one. Every time we have a poor result this nonsense gets wheeled out - I've seen plenty worse Dundee sides than this one and I'm only 25. Scottish football is what it is, every side in the league apart from Celtic struggles with erratic form most seasons. You've clearly made your mind up though, so just support Manchester United and Real Madrid and be done with it.
