Oh damn, I remember that children's book(no seriously, it's a children's book)
"The mole who wanted to know who shat on his head"

 

Might have a copy somewhere at my parent's

I think it was called 'The mole who knew it was none of his business'.

You did the right thing.

Years back my elderly neighbour started having a series of car crashes; stupid things like hitting the wrong pedal etc and knocking over walls.  It was only a matter of time until he hurt someone.  I had to jump through the most ridiculous hoops to get attention from the authorities, doctors appointments etc until he was called to a meeting at a local DVLA office.  He had to answer questions, they checked his reactions and took him out in a learner car.  They did revoke his licence straight away, which is sad but was unfortunately necessary.

You did the right thing 

It needs to happen a lot more , driving should be a privilege not a right , drive like a twat , on the bus , lost all your driving skills, on the bus.

We took the car keys away from my father in law after he took his car for a service 3 miles away from his house and ended up in Liverpool 10 miles in the opposite direction 

No idea how he found his way home but that was his last trip in it,sold the car the next week , it'd have gone well on here , 1 owner base fiesta 20,000 miles, on a K reg

Yes, but instead of inflicting pain using weird pipe unions and pipes themselves, they used a lot of electronics.

....which inflict equal pain but in miniature?

I'd imagine so. Being Bose, however, they do have their heads screwed on tight when it comes to making things well, so perhaps it wouldn't be as painful as I think. Bloody heavy, mind.

I inherited one of their "wave" CD radio sets. Not exactly lightweight!

You really shouldn't let the horse shit in the car.

Wow.  Obviously the solution to the ashtray overflowing is to use the rest of the car as an ashtray.  They must have been doing thot for at least a couple of months...

Don't go to Paisley then. Not because of the car, it's just really shit

I have had an old fluid extractor thing for years and its never held a vacuum so to drain anything you had to pump away like a demented person.

So the other day i fitted a check valve in to the suction pipe so i could build up and hold vacuum in its reservoir and now it's working like a champ as ably demonstrated by removing half a litre of oily muck from of a mobile tyre vans little piston compressor.

Happy days...
