UV RAY HEADLIGHT DAMAGE TOP TIP CHEAP & EASY

My BMW headlights have been suffering UV ray damage for a long time, the lenses were white & cloudy, making nighttime driving a nightmare, plus they looked awful. I tried almost every garage in the area, all of which told me there was nothing I could do except change the headlights, a very costly operation! I looked on the internet, found certain products & advice all of which failed & the problem got worse. In France, where I live, you cannot get replcement lense covers, and to have them shipped was costly too.



But then one day whilst out driving, some kind of bug hit one of the headlights and left a clear patch. When I felt it it felt greasy.........I had an idea!!! When I got home, I rubbed some cooking oil, YES YOU READ RIGHT ORDINARY HOUSEHOLD COOKING OIL, on to the headlights with a cloth and PRESTO!!!! It worked....I couldn't believe it, they are now shiny & look like new, and it didn't cost me a thing!! And because of the layer of grease it protects against further damage. A few days later they are still shiny & clear, maybe I'll have to put on some more oil if it rains, but hey, it's far cheaper and easier than having to replace them.



If you have a UV ray headlight damage problem, I recommend you try my idea & see for yourself!! Good luck!

PS. Not sure if certain headlight covers have a preference to which kind of cooking oil but I used sunflower seed oil!!

RICK ASTLEY, 80’S POP ICON IS NOT DEAD

Following the death of Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcet there have been may rumours going around that 1980’s pop icon Rick Astley has died aged 42.  I have done some research and found an article by ABC News stating that these are purely rumours and are not true at all, they are just hoaxes to get social networking sites talking>  So you can al breath easy, if you’re fans of course!!

THE WEATHER’S GONE CRAZY AND WE’RE HAVING A HEATWAVE!

Europe is on fire, France, Germany, Spain, even the UK…. the weather’s glorious….more than glorious it’s damn hot!!  But when I say the weather’s gone crazy, it really has, just the other day there were hail stones as big as golf balls in New York, who should be having glorious weather too at this time of year!!  And a couple of weeks ago England was flooded in some parts but today they’re seeing temperatures as high as 30 degrees!!  Here in France it’s now 5.40pm and 32 degrees still, and it’s only June!!!  Guess we’d better enjoy it…It might snow next week!!!!

MICHAEL JACKSON IS DEAD

Michael Jackson dies age 50 of a suspected heart attack.  Loved his music, but for me that’s as far as it goes.  After all his self destruction he was a time bomb waiting to explode.  He will, however, be much missed by his fans.  RIP you poor soul, I’m sure he’ll be much happier where he is now.

MICHAEL SCHUMACHER THE STIG, NO WAY!

Last night’s Top Gear revealed all…….And The Stig is…..Michael Schumacher?????  No Way!!  This morning the world, or the UK at least, is speculating, is he the real Stig or not?  Apparently so, although Jeremy Clarkson has not yet confirmed whether it’s true or whether it’s just a joke to fool us.

I must say, my money was never on Michael Schumacher, not tall enough and not feminine enough, although that’s debatable!  Besides, where would he ever find the time to be The Stig?  I know he retired from F1 racing, but he still works full time with Ferrari.  I’m definitely NOT convinced…And you????

THAT’S ENTERTAINEMENT QE2 STYLE

Whilst working in the pursers office I was asked to assist at one of the many shows on board, believe it or not we were actually doing a rendition of Old MacDonald Had A Farm, can’t remember why they were dressed in those costumes! By the way, I’m the one on the right in uniform, in case you hadn’t guessed!!  I did enjoy that but didn’t do it very often as I only worked in the Purser’s Office for a short time.  The rest of the time I was a deck supervisor for accommodation services.  I also did a short stint as Captain’s Secretary, but that was just to fill in for someone who was ill for a few weeks, but that was interesting as well……except for Captains cocktail evenings, didn’t like that, and it was always at the time I’d normally be heading off to the Pig!!!  Ahh, the Pig…….fond memories……at least I always remembered going in, but not so often leaving!!!   Happy days!!!!!!

QE2 AND PRINCESS BLASTS FROM THE PAST

Quite a recent user of Face Book, I hadn’t really taken the time to try to find friends.  But after doing my blog post on my memories of the past and my time working on cruise liners I decided to try and track down some old pals.  I managed to find a few, and a few managed to find me….Trust me not to use my maiden name on FB and a pseudo for my blog!!  Modern technology can be a wonderful thing, so thank you to it for letting me find friends from 20 or so years ago.  If there is anyone out there who was on board QE2 in 1990/1991 I’d love to hear from you, and anyone on Princess Cruises in the late 80’s ditto!!
