Wack Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I'm amazed what people post on tiktok This guy got pulled in by dvsa on what I assume the M5, Exeter to Bristol Smoking like a good un, flat tyre, no mot and 1000kg overloaded So he posts the paperwork with all his details on it as they're walking to the train https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMY2k5389/ Low Horatio gearbox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soundwave Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Been looking on ebay for an old whistling camping kettle, I've got fond memories of our old kettle from camping holidays as a child. Modern whistling camping kettles tend to shriek rather than whistle (mine definitely does), and I fancied revisiting my childhood a bit. It seems I'm not the only one who remembers the older ones fondly though - every one I've seen so far has attracted lots of bids, and ended up going for £8-£10. I was watching one out of curiousity, it had already gone beyond what I was willing to bid so I didn't bother, was just curious to see what it went for. Suddenly one of the bidders had the idea of making a ludicrously high maximum bid at the last second. The idea, I assume, was to ensure nobody would outbid them and didn't actually expect to pay anywhere near their maximum bid... except another bidder had the same idea. Long story short, one of them is now going to be paying £50 for a manky old tin kettle. myglaren, Datsuncog, AnnoyingPentium and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wack Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Walking towards a set of lights this morning, a few cars waiting when a sound caught my ear dug dug dug dug, loud enough to be heard over the passing traffic, there were a few potential sources, the 56 plate Berlingo maybe, or the 07 focus Then the lights changed and DUGDUGDUGDUG fuck me it was loud enough to make me wince expecting to hear a bang with oil and innards spilling out onto the road but the girl driving the 12 plate mini didn't seem worried at all as she set off with her mechanical disaster waiting to happen I can't imagine a bloke driving a car making that much noise, maybe she was on the way to the garage having phoned ahead, my car is making a funny noise DSdriver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meggersdog Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 One of nextdoors customers dropped a car off at the weekend to MoT "when you get chance". I have been putting it away in my workshop at night then parking it down the side of the workshop during the day.Today I thought I'd have time to MoT it so parked the car infront of the workshop. Firstly a delivery driver almost crashed gawping at it, then one of my customers came in "woah, oldskool 306 , is it yours ?" . Then the midday MoT "nice, is it an XS " nope a 306 GTi....6. dome, nomiST and rainagain 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metal Guru Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Distinct cremations ad in TV last night, one with Sue Cook. At the end “Money back guarantee” caught my eye.

Did some shopping around for an unattended funeral during COVID after the local ripoff undertakers wanted £2,500 ... Tried the local Co-op, £1,025 but because he had a Co-op shop rewards card I got the old boy a £50 discount, result . And I got him home in time for Christmas for his widow. It seems like an across the board charge of £100 to return the ashes from the crematorium to home , so I popped down to Brighton crem and gave him a last ride home along the coast in the mighty Micra .
