Oh you utter fuck knuckle of a day.

Now that's just mean.

Today I did a nice thing for my 'old 'old' old' boss. He rang this morning stating he had been having a little bit of an office desk shuffle about & now his internet wasn't working. Nothing new about this at all, happens roughly every 5-6 months. Normally (as in today's case) he's unplugged the ethernet cables & put them back in the wrong places.

Sorted that out, even set up the wireless side of it so he could play using wifi on his new phone and toddled off to get a quick bit of shopping then home again.

That's when the fun started.

On the only bit of dual carriageway on the way home, I did have to gun the car slightly as some muppet was trying to filter onto a 70mph bit of road doing 35mph. 

This is the point when my wee Honda Accord went utterly batshit crazy. Flashing lights on the dashboard, a virtual 'car disco' even down to the drivers side electric window doing a little jig up and down.
I slowed down to 50 to which the light show did seem to calm slightly, leaving me with the dreaded battery light still on. 

Bugger. The alternators fucked then.

On the plus side, after googling the faults, seems that its actually quite a common thing of which can sometimes screw up diagnosis by throwing in other faults however this one is pretty much clear cut & I will have to get another sodding one. 

& being me, I'm fitting the bugger myself.

That's it. I'm having a cup of tea.
