Cavcraft Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Despite being possibly the most unfashionable person on earth, WTF is going in with the way young girls dress now? Big fuck off glasses from a 1970's serial killer and jeans and dungarees that make them look they escaped from a 1950's American prison cotton picking farm for the mentally deranged. timolloyd, BorniteIdentity, Brodders and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somewhatfoolish Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Jeans that have had holes put in them by child slavery in a sweatshop have made an unwanted comeback too; I had hoped they would stay in the 1990s where they belonged. hennabm, myglaren and Cavcraft 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dozeydustman Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 A Wall’s Feast lolly has mad me unwell. Have lost 5 hours of the afternoon after face swollen up and short of breath. Wrapper says may contain traces of Soya. Gah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Drove all the way to Winchester, drove an Austin Ambassador - for the first time. I videoed this moment for prosperity, as the second half of an intriguing head-to-head with a Wolseley 2200 wedge. It was the very last Ambassador - yes, that one we remember seeing parked up on a driveway looking abandoned. It was an amazing day. I can find no trace of any video files of the Ambassador. I have all the Princess ones, and the video went live today. Where the **** have the Ambassador files gone?! Not on my laptop, my desktop or either of the phones I used for video recording that day. Undelete software only works if you know where the files were. I can't believe I didn't record any of the separate videos so where the bloody hell are they? I have a two-hour gap in the early afternoon with no footage. I am a little upset and mostly confused. myglaren, catsinthewelder, TooManyPeopleMovers and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrumpiusMaximus Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Why does ITV have the fucking Rugby rights? 2011's coverage was disastrous, 2015 was worse and it's not any better this year. Half-arsed punditry, stupid commentary and that bloody shit ITV Player on their website. Every time ITV do sport, they fuck it up. Although the BBC Radio commentary on the Wales match yesterday wasn't exactly brilliant. If I ever hear Stirling Mortlock say 'wooow' again, I might just scream.

Anyway that's not a grump.. I was following that chap on youtube called classic britain, young chap trying to run an absolute heap of a P6, he was tolerable but now become too gobby, shame really because it was really good watching this P6 constantly breakdown and them trying to fix it but its now gone from cringe tv to total little prat tv. i'll catch up with Hubnut instead. Agreed. I've enjoyed his videos in the past but he seems to have become very rude about cars that aren't of interest to him. Perhaps its a bit of bluster for the benefit of the audience, but over the last couple of videos where he's visited car shows there have been very unkind, and unwarranted IMHO, comments about cars where the owners often appear to have been right next to him. I finally caved in and put a (polite) note suggesting that the negativity wasn't required, as did others. I notice he's uploaded a video about a Morris Minor. This should be interesting given that his standard comment as he sweeps past them is "no-one cares". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaseracer Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Despite the strongly-held views of a minority, we've been somewhat spoiled for UCHOOB car persons by our familiarity with the relaxed and idiosyncratic style of a certain Brummie ex-hippie.

Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk That takes the term 'high-waisted' to a new level (pun intended). More 'low-shouldered' in fact. Did he wear them for additional support when turning the car on its side? He could end up being the only person ever to die of suffocation by his own trousers while still wearing them ?. paulplom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timewaster Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Got in to work today to find out that one of our colleagues has died over the weekend. That's two in two weeks.

HillmanImp Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 After taking the 944 to a local garage to get the handbrake sorted for the MOT, I took it in for a retest and it failed again on the friggin handbrake.

Someone I was working with was attacked by a gang in a nasty part of stoke and has been on a life support machine, for 4 weekd now and another bloke, who is in maintenance and i found out was buying the house next door to me, had a car crash last week and apparently it's life changing.

wuvvum Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Work have screwed up my wages again. My payrise wasn't put through last month - I was told that this was because it wasn't submitted in time to be processed before the cut-off date for payroll. I was assured that it would be put through for this month, and I would also get the extra bit that I should have been paid last month. Neither of those things has happened. Which means it's going to be a bit of a tight month. I'm just going to have to keep my fingers crossed that the LDV doesn't need a load spending on it for an MOT, or I can see the credit card taking a battering. myglaren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
