This comes less than 48 hours after talking with the store manager about how my disabilities affect me in the workplace. I didn't just up and go, I told them if they kept shouting I'd leave, they kept shouting. Fast food can do one. golden arses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardK Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Yes, it’s modern, but I like it. 450 miles on “poor life choices” - the //e was a good buy but I stupidly paid too much in sympathy for bereavement for untested machines that are rather shabbier than I’d though - the Acorn A3000 being the one I wanted and it’s got battery greenery. Two ropey old A500s and a Sinclair 48K Speccy probably won’t cover the cost of making it as good as I want 😕 But the Puma ST?

And then when you turn up for work, nip down to the garage etc. Anyone who knows you will say, 'Oh look, it's the utter fucking twats'.

MondeoBlues Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Porsche passed its MOT by a gnat's pube. Some corrosion near the jacking points that'll want welding in the near future; nothing too bad, apparently. Other hit advisories include: Play in the Offside Outer Track Rod Ball Joint, and A Bit of Play in the Nearside Rear Wheel Bearing.

Cord Fourteener Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 740 news: is going to the garage to see if they can retrofit a generic heater control valve. Then it'll get an mot and hopefully get the footwell properly dry before long! in 307 news, I've generally tinkered with trying to get moisture out of the spare tyre well, I think there's lots of moisture soaked and/ or pooled in various places seeping in from when it was full of water. We'll see. The rear wiper arm is not is great condition but I've parked it correctly and done it up. Its going well in general. Mondeo Hatchback is going to a breaker Friday so I've emptied it of stuff and mostly got the towbar off. Well, I've taken the bolts out (with help, in the cold rain. Much swearing) and it's just wedged, I have borrowed a sledge hammer to encourage it to fall out. Will hit next time I have a chance. My Mondeo estate is performing as it ought to, wifey is borrowing it. I dare say I'll have to prise her out of it tomorrow so I can drive it again!

RayMK Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 My '94 Tipo 1.4ie failed its MOT last week on a couple of bulbs (stop lamp and side repeater, both nearside) and both front brake hoses. The bulbs were easy of course but the hoses took a few days to obtain via eBay. Today, the garage fitted the new hoses and a track rod end which I wanted done because it looked iffy. Now Mot'd for another year without any advisories. Wallet only £252 lighter. Tax and insurance renewal in a week or two too. Has Boris cancelled Christmas yet? Just hoping. catsinthewelder, Tickman and Yank Tank 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St.Jude Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Progress on breaking the MG and working on the Lada has been paused again. Wife went to the hospital on Saturday, and it was a rough few days - so I want to apologise if I was off/a cunt to anyone (specifically @Jazoli), but this lad popped in to the world yesterday afternoon - Tadhg Míchéal. Because why would anyone have a name you can pronounce easily? He's not home yet, so I don't know if he has taken my car side yet of his mother's hatred of them. Both are well considering, the plug thing on his hand was a precautionary thing. grogee, brownnova, Coprolalia and 29 others 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife is a fan of names with 'silent' letters, our Irish neighbours had loads. I admit I like the name Sibhdh but we went for local names that the English family can cope with, Anwen and Gethin. Anyway all the best to you and your family, fatherhood starts off difficult and gets even more difficulter. But it's the best. Wibble 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
