We once had a homeless lad living in our garage for about three weeks, unbeknown to me. He was a mate of my teenage son, who claimed at first that he didn't know anything about it, but then admitted that he was feeding him on cheese sandwiches every day! 10/10 for compassion, but 0/10 for nutritional knowledge.
I only found out because I noticed a strange wet patch behind the garage every day, (which didn't have a sink) even when it wasn't raining.
It turned out to be quite sad, actually, because the lad's stepfather was abusive and violent towards him, so he had decided to leave home at the tender age of 14. Upshot was that he moved into my son's room for a month's-worth of hot dinners and flushing toilets, before his older sister could arrange to have him live with her in the north of England. Nicest lad you could wish to meet (although he was a bit whiffy the first time I met him, bless!)

Yep, I know how it's done.. I lived in a Bedford van for two weeks as a student in Surrey.. I'd somehow messed up the arrangement of my acomadation & found I had nowhere for a while. Lol found myself woken by the police in the early hours after setting up camp in a local (unbeknownst to me.) gay haunt... I found lodging with a bunch of art students in the end... Happy daze!

Sorry, last one I promise. Just a silly one. My penpal when I was thirteen didn't believe she sleep talked. So I recorded her. Her dad was danish, and although she only spoke a few words of the language, I taped her talking fluently of how a tractor was chasing her. She was terrified when we played it back, as were the rest of her family. :eek:

Not at all silly....just shows how our subconscious knows stuff our conscious mind isn't aware of....

Thanks Jaylee but just been serviced, new battery around 3 months ago and other than it being foggy (as opposed to just dark), load on battery the same....bit late to think but I never but my rear fog on....all lights fine....

Then check the terminals are tight enough.. My wife's keyless entry car had a new battery & the following day we couldn't get in the **** thing.. The car was dead. I found an emergency way in through the passenger side to open the bonnet. & sure enough the terminals weren't tightened enough.. The car was fine after that! This happened around Autumn too! Lol

The car may have been serviced. However the alternator voltage output can be overlooked? It should be with a load on (lights, blower on full, rear screen de mister, anything else?) charge between 13.8 & 14.5 volts with a meter put at the positive & negative battery terminals.. (A volt meter. Not a BS type.)
The battery powers everything. However it's the altornator that puts the charge back into the battery while the engine is running..

I had a loose connector off my alternator. Probably overlooked when I replaced the belts... :banghead: All manor of spooky stuff happened in my van while idling... Or hitting a bump. Mainly centred round the radio circuit... Cheap fix though!

My girlfriend and I went to a pub once and couldn't figure out why she was the only woman in there. Then the penny dropped! :joyful:
 
Not ghosts but on Sunday my GSD boy looked really poorly, didn't eat, lethargic, unsteady.....
About an hour before I was going to check on him again...the power flipped twice...off and on again (breakers didn't trip) I went icy cold on 2nd one. Went straight out to him and called vet to be at surgery....got him to, and into the car but his breathing was awful....at the vet he was given an injection to clear fluid off his lungs which given much later may have been too late....he's on diuretics now and increased heart meds and acting like Sunday never happened.....
but I'm sure he called to me
