Some neighbours chucking stuff in the bushes at the back of my house - a seven car car park.  Far from the first time but can't pin down who it could be, more than a strong suspicion anyway.

Previous times when I have been taking stuff to the recycling centre, which is only a couple of miles away, I have chucked it in with my own rubbish but it is niggling me that they can't take responsibility for their own unwanted items.

Daughter said to contact the council.  So I did.  Had a reply that someone would look into it and would take action within the next five days.

Half an hour later, council truck pulls up and removes it.

Far better service than expected, just a shame that there was nothing to identify the dumper.

42 years ago today airline pilots approaching Los Angeles international airport reported seeing a man in a garden chair with a pistol (pellet gun) in his hand flying at 16,000ft, suspended by 42 helium-filled weather balloons. Larry Walters had miscalculated, having intended to rise to 30ft. He was fined $1,500.

 "We know he broke some part of the Federal Aviation Act, and as soon as we decide which part it is, some type of charge will be filed. If he had a pilot's license, we'd suspend that, but he doesn't."

In a world of bland cars this 1934 Morris 10/4 is just perfect.

I really need something like this in my life.

Just glanced at the CCTV in the office and noticed mine is the only thing in the car park with any colour!

Although tbf, three more of those vehicles are mine too…as long as my landlord isn’t on here on which case I’ve never seen them before, Drew…

When my (now ex) husband and I were living in Switzerland, he had a ‘mid-life crisis’ and got a Porsche 911 (actually, he was going to get a Boxster but I said ‘man up - if you want a Porsche, get a real Porsche’ and that’s how we got the 911). But, I digress..

One winter day, I decided to take it into town to meet a friend. I noticed it was sluggish backing out of the garage. Then, when I hit the accelerator to go forward just…..nothing.

It kind of crept forward about 10 kph, not the response you’d expect from fine German engineering!

The garage came and loaded it up to check out the problem. They called about an hour later:

Mechanic - ‘Your accelerator cable was stripped and the cable housing was eaten - probably by weasels. Happens a lot here in winter, there’s some sugar or something in that material they eat when the weather gets cold.’

Me - ‘Well, that’s interesting - how much is this ‘fun’ going to cost me?’

Mechanic - ‘Oh, nothing! Your insurance policy covers ‘weasel’ damage. We’ll have it fixed and back over there this afternoon. No charge.’

So, that’s how I found out I’d purchased an insurance policy with a ‘weasel clause.’ Definitely the weirdest insurance I’ve ever bought!

I’ve encounter weasels in insurance but they’ve all worked for the companies.

Apart from the tyres - what is the spare supposed to fit?

Been keeping my eye on the rental market and spotted a place that had a Xantia in the driveway.  On opening the listing I found out it was the only photo.

There's lazy, and then there's using a single 17 year old photograph to advertise your rental property lazy.

If you're curious, here's the listing: https://mason.zoopla.co.uk/to-rent/details/59691170/

Estate agents being economical with the truth- I’m shocked.

I'm a few days late, yeah, but it's weird seeing my car on a calendar.

I could be mistaken but I think it looks like it's on the back of a recovery truck to me, M7

Almost makes the actions required for the shot worth it... unless you're @PicantoJon, mind you.

My Mrs just left for work.

She works for a school uniform company. After work she's going to a school for some random bollocks about new uniforms.

She won't be home until 7 🤣
