One of the girls did seem remarkably excited to introduce herself, she was also a nutter though

additional grin in wondering what the friends of a (fairly posh) friend thought when they were introduced to a scruffy man wearing an old army jacket and smoking a rollie perched on the bootlid of a manky Volvo...

My jacket smells far too much of petrochemicals for me to be mistaken for a hipster.

New fuel accumulator for the Volvo arrived a full week sooner than I expected. Second grin; getting a full set of Toyo tyres for the Peugeot, which is exciting because I've never bought a full set in one go before

The online marketplaces claimed that ebuygumm.co.uk was confusing internet users and taking “unfair advantage” of their brands. 

Expand  

This defence is based on considering their own customers dumb enough to make the confusion between ebuygumm, and ebay, or between ebuygumm and gumtree. Or on having the same importance on the web, which is laughable.

Ok, no photo, but this morning on my commute to work I saw a W-reg mk1 Laguna in red with 3 or 4 burly blokes in it joining the A1 from the A64 - it looked in good nick, but also just looked fantastic.

 Are you off on your moped to see that Irish girl that nobody has heard of sing in The Ratchet & Tanktop Inn again, @hairnet?

I'd never heard of them until now, so that's some nice publicity for them! I wonder if eBuyer was particularly bothered? Does eBuyer even still exist?

Expand  

I have bought a few computers from eBuyer

Cressing Road, Braintree. That's a C15 van behind the Fiat. Driven down this road hundreds of times and never noticed the cars and house before.

If you head towards town from there along Cressing Road, take a left down Clockhouse Way, there's a garden full of rotted out Range Rovers and a very overgrown 105e Anglia on the left

I followed these directions using the Google, and before I got to the Range Rover house I passed this:

Yes. A person who has chosen to live in a thirties house which has been vandalised so that it looks like a very shit castle has somehow amassed enough money to run a Porsche and a Maserati.

Pictured: scruffy man, army jacket, rollie.

Not pictured: manky Volvo and farmer spec checked shirt.

 

Today at work someone asked if I had the sideburns yesterday. Then they asked why. I don't think "because they grew out of my face" was the answer they were looking for.

A large crowd of Dutchmen have turned up on their way to the Land Rover show. One guy had booked his car in for an mot as it's still on uk plates.An old Defender with massive wheels and a Cummins 5.9 litre diesel engine. Didn't seem to rev very hard on the emissions test but it passed.They'd wound the pump in.After the mot they are outside turning the diesel pump back to where is was before the test. HaHa rollin' coal as it drove away.

Test as presented.

Phone and better Internet are back. Happy the problem was a quick enough fix.

Went to play football after work today, went into my bag and pulled out my black shorts... except they weren’t my shorts but the missus’ black skirt...
