Well boss , today hasn't gone so well.

Not big or clever, but the old  Expert 2.0HDi still doesn't fail to amuse.  You can just about light up the wheels in 3rd, and it's been the winner in countless traffic light GPs. Todays efforts (especially against a Poxwagen T4 van)  were pretty impressive, tainted slightly by losing to an old 1 series  BMW later on.

The other day I was behind a Spanish reg Citroen C6. Explaining to the wife that there is a guy on YT (and this forum @richykitchy) has one along with the Citroen SM. Here reply was oh so they are both broken it seems he does not make wise purchases.🙂

I deleted the footage from the dash cam I am a bit pissed off now.😕

My C6 works! I drove it in this morning.

It doesn't fully work, but it does function as a car.

Unlikely to be more trouble than your last one turned out to be! Best of luck, we’re all behind you! Manual or auto this time?

Not sure I’m cruel enough to rent this out to some poor unsuspecting AirBnBer! 

[Psycho Charlie Knobcheese]

I’ve never even met the fella but today  @red5 took time out of his day to help a friend of mine out with her car.

She’s over the moon.

The generosity of some people here is wonderful.

Thanks mate

[hairnet]

Best laugh so far they were doing something to one of the other patients and one said

You'd think I was a nurse wouldn't ya 

Currently waiting to pee even tho drunk two litres of water and some tea

In one of our new buildings today for a nosey.

Why would you put glass panels on a roof beside the shore when it's normally hoachin with gulls? And thus will forever be covered in bird shit. Made me laugh anyway!

 

[Metal Guru]

A neighbour has some white doves. Every evening they are let out and fly around in formation ( of sorts), around the immediate neighbourhood but rarely more than about 100m from base.

Tonight a solitary wild pigeon joined in with them . Made me smile anyway. I’m wondering if it will tell other pigeons and more will join in tomorrow.

As far as I can tell doves are just middle class pigeons anyway so it’s probably  a socially mobile pigeon who’s done well for himself.

You know what, language/dialect is a fascinating thing. I've absolutely never heard the word "hoachin" before but it's so perfectly descriptive that I know exactly what you mean.
