Temp car insurance for all those collections

Better off with full policy then cancelling. Much much cheaper.

[Pillock]

5 weeks after getting the "it's not you, it's us, but please clear your desk" phone call from her employer, Mrs_Pillock found herself in the position where she accepted a job with a national supermarket chain as a technology analyst, but in doing so had to make two other phone calls to let down other prospective employers. It's quite empowering!

 

"Thank you for interviewing me, you did very well but after careful consideration I've decided your company isn't right for my needs" was basically how it went.... 

 

Also there's a bit of travelling involved so the hunt for a new, more suitable vehicle can start.

Ha I did that before I went to work at a Honda dealer . Had 3 interviews in one day . Honda , vag and Vauxhall. Went with Honda and made the calls having been offered all 3 jobs . Vw offered more money straight away but I didn’t like the feel of the place

Hopefully have a one bed house to move into in a few weeks, renting of course but unfurnished so now I get the joy* of buying everything.

I think it will do my relationship with my other half the world of good having the space to ourselves.

Also means my 45 mile commute has been cut down to 3! May offer up the Stilo for a cheap rofl (£2.50 a ticket?) as I don't really need it now.

 

Also....should be collecting something new for the collection this weekend. More soon.

[AlabamaShrimp]

Got a small box of Lego delivered from Amazon today. It was packed in a sodding envelope not a box so squashed.

 

10 minutes later on a live chat thing and I got a refund. Shame it was only £6 and not that Millennium Falcon

Honda is always the right choice

Mortgage application has now been submitted in full to the lender and my broker is confident* having checked all of the paperwork that it will be successful

 

Solicitors have started doing their thing so I should hopefully be a homeowner soon.

 

Chilling the fuck out this week on a much deserved holiday - makes a change from living in a South London budget hotel

My lad has just sold his 3-bed house in Southport and has a load of furniture and chattels to sell off.  If there's anything you fancy dragging up the motorway for, shout up!

 

In other news... watching Minder this morning with MrsR (life on the sick eh, it's tough!) and Arfur had to go to the dentist.  Mrs immediately picked on the tools the dentist was using, the way she was using them, etc.  The joys of living with a retired dental nurse!

I knew a guy once that sent his licence in for points taking off and an address change and he had to phone dvla to complain that they hadn't put his motor cycle entitlement on his new licence.

 

They sent him out an amended one with the entitlement on.

 

He'd never had the entitlement in the first place!!

 

I have been thinking about motorcycle licences as I have my US motorcycle licence but not a UK entitlement.  From what I can make out I would have to start from scratch to get a UK motorcycle entitlement added to my UK licence.

 

So I definitely won't* be following this advice when I eventually move back to the UK and update my licence.  Thanks for nothing.

I am sitting in a supermarket carpark shoving bigmacs down my gullet and some sour-faced dizzy Barbiedoll type has done two and a half circuits so far pushing her trolley looking for her car.

 

In her defence, I am sitting in the only car that isn't black, silver or white and they do all look the same.

[Guest Hooli]

Hartlepool RN museum yesterday, it's a bloody good day out. Getting almost everywhere on board the second oldest floating warship in the world is rather good...

[Mr A Lawrence]

Back home from hospital now feeling much better.

 

5 days of hell for me and the wife!

 

Gotta have my gall bladder removed in about 6 weeks.

[eddyramrod]

Welcome home!

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Starting a new job in a fortnight and had to go for a 'drug & alcohol test' appointment today. The alcohol test was just a breathalyser!!! What the point of that is I dont know, if you can't even make it to a previously-arranged D&A test in an 'unpissed' condition at 10am you've got problems eh. Asked the OH nurse if she'd ever had anyone fail the test. 'Only one in all the time I can remember' she said. 'It was a lad who'd been out the night before celebrating that fact that he'd been offered a job!!!' That was the end of his job offer! The mind boggles.

[The Moog]

Had this when went to work forMars. Full on drug and alcohol testing. Rooms had locks on taps so couldn't cheat.

 

Asked same question - she basically said it will pick up those who are using but functioning. Insurers rather than company were interested especially as part of org was production line

 

Was shitting it a bit has had a heavy weekend for my birthday but nothing came of it.

Possibly more suited to Barry Boys than here, spotted in Asda car park this morning:

 

 

Not sure if that's a curtain pole or a towel rail. Either way they'll drag on the floor. 

[Jon]

Sorry not sorry for clickbait-esque post but if you click the 'my shite' sig at the bottom of my sig, you'll find out what made me grin an awful lot today!

I have been storing my little Subaru in an elderly neighbours garage since November.

I've always liked them, it's great to see one still alive.

 

The Tamiya model was shtie till you put a 540 or bigger motor in mind...

That still looks proper nice! Only driven one and that had broken in two due to rot. Some twat had just sold its owner a new exhaust and that was the only thing keeping it together.

You should've put a note on it telling the owner how daft it looks on a rare future desirable motor

[fordperv]

Popped to the gym earlier and saw this lovely parked in the carpark, ive seen it about local a few times presumably undertaking daily duties it looks used often condition, it's nice to see one that hasn't been pineappled with fake omg patina or has been over restored its unusable

 

 

[AlabamaShrimp]

But is it lowered and wearing Porsche wheels? Lhd and no front plate too, you sure it's not pineappled?

I'd say on the whole its a pineapple slice as opposed to a full pineapple, Mild modification is acceptable, its when folks go over the top bolting the contents of a car boot sale on the roof and making it omg ratlook thats what takes the cake

[Aston Martin]

I dunno where or when the next meeting is, I suggest Barbados.

 

 

Don’t crash!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
