I'm not going back outside for ages! The other week I was in my conservatory and was buzzed by a hornet that must have been at least two inches long. I attacked it with a pretty heavy diary - I hit the thing three times dead centre and it didn't even slow it down! Finally managed to smack it repeatedly and pulverise it, but I reckon the thing must have been wearing armour. Fumbler and myglaren 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruffgeezer Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Attempted to buy another Berlingo with a broken rear torsion bar, dragging it's arse around like a broken dog. With a months mot, high mileage 1.9 boat anchor and rough as arseholes, it was up at £200. I arranged to go, asked if price was negotiable, and went. Had my offer of £150 knocked back, they relented and offered it at £170 less the towbar... ....err, no thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Sterling Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 First world problems and all that... Kinda grumpy with myself. Any sane person wanting to go out an polish thier car would do it at a reasonable time, like the morning or early afternoon. Nope, me, I went out at 7pm and started polishing the Vectra meaning although I did the whole car (a panel at a time, that thing is MASSIVE, if I ever have to polish it again, it'll be too soon) I didn't finish the job very well as it was very dark by the time I finished. Micra is gonna get polished tomorrow as it's probably the only time it ever will be. Hopefully I won't be as lazy this time. Cavcraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5speedracer Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I had thought about the Scottish system but what if for whatever reason you end up not selling your house? Would you be forced to buy another? Possibly we Scots do it differently? If we're selling we'd usually be looking too as we know a contracy is binding. If we see a house we like we can "note interest" meaning we are informed of any offers on the house so get a chance yo counter. Same game really but with the security of knowing a sale is a sale.

clayts450 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Got a broken arse from a drink-related injury I assume, when I was out on the pop with some colleagues. Hurts to sit, stand and lie down, and goes right down to my left foot. More grumpy about the inevitable piss-taking which will occur tomorrow, but at least I'll find out what I did. I suspect trying to sit down on a non-existent seat and banging the left side of my bum on something hard.

Industrial strength anti-histamines stopped the itching and the lumps were away in short order. myglaren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gm Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 yep, I know what you mean, I've had a pretty rough couple of weeks and needed to blow off steam, just chose the wrong time / place to do it the cops were ok, they knew I felt like a twat and didn't milk it. myglaren and scdan4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovorsche Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 An MOT fail isnt a biggie, everything is fixable but during the emissions test on the K11 and many many many revs, something let go. The water level is fine but the temperature shot right up and the test was abandoned. It was fine on the way over, warmed it up and did a few brake tests, gauge was dead centre all the time. But now the water pump is rattling like a bastard and I think the cams are clattering away too. This might be decision time to persevere or fuck it off Plus points - Sills are not rusty, Sun roof isnt currently leaking, its yellow Minus points - Everything else Will look again when the bloody rain has stopped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Sterling Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 FFS! I suppose I've had it easy with my journey to my old place of work which consisted of long fast roads and a motorway journey. Travelling into Birmingham today was an absolute NIGHTMARE. It at the best of times but when a spot of rain appears, everyone seems to suddenly get scared and jump in the car clogging up the roads even more. Inevitably, there is always someone who doesn't know how to drive on the wet causing an accident and thus tailbacks. Half of my journey into work consisted of back roads and even then I was 10 mins late. Mind you, only one person was in on time and the rest had major problems on the trains so I was the second one in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barefoot Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I've been watching a repeat of the first series of Charlie's Angels - 1970's jiggle TV at it's very finest. My grump is of course Madonna. Until she came along, no-one wore a bra & if they did it was hidden & you spent ages working out if there was an undergarment involved or if they really were that perky. Then fucking Madonna turns up and every fucker is wearing underwear as outerwear. Progress my arse.
