It’s a lovely day... I know I’ll get the camper out and ready it for camping by doing a few jobs e.g. fixing the broken hatch...

 

... except inexplicably the camper storage place is locked up today.... so my camper is held prisoner...

 

Bastards.

[Aston Martin]

Speed awareness course.... 4 Hours... How?

 

Place is fucking rammed.

[mercrocker]

Good luck, Aston Martin.   I suppose its too much to hope, with a user name like that, whether the copper asked if you thought you were Stirling Moss....

More likely Bond, Jamesh Bond.

Mine was all day for 34 in a 30, think yourself lucky!

This sort of key safe? Very easy to pick, pm me for details...

I don't think so, I'll take photograph and post it up.

Thanks for all the picking tips folks.

[barefoot]

Porsche dropped off at another garage today. Will see how we get on with them. I hope they take credit cards as I am absolutely brassic.

You really need to find a local specialist.

[Aston Martin]

Mine was 57mph in a 50 (60 for cars)

 

....

 

The slide said 5% motorway, 36% rural and 66% town.

 

I was the only one who questioned 101%.

Jesus Christ.

 

Can I take this moment to remind anyone thinking about going into business with anyone that a limited company or similar is fantastic protection against losing your personal assets in the event of this kind of thing. Not many people seem to be aware of the implications of being a sole trader / non incorporated partnership when stuff goes massively wrong.

 

Obviously you can get into the situation of personal director guarantees for loans etc but that’s a very conscious decision.

Luckily I am and was a limited company!!!!

 

Old company is now going through dissolve procedure .. will be in London Gazette for 2 months to see if any one has any objections then it's job done.

107%? Shome mishtake, shurely?

[cpjitservices]

I've learnt a very valuable lesson. That's for sure.

Fitting doors, I bought a casement from Tippers, it was twisted to hell, took it back and went through 10 before finding one that was useable, even that was bowed to crap but at least I can pull it back in. Then the door, well.......... it’s all presently sat with a thousand clamps in the hope of pulling it back to respectable levels of warpedness.

[purplebargeken]

Cunts. You bunch of cunts.

 

That is all.

 

Whoops, forgot to add:

Are you ok mate? PM me if you want a chat.

Sorry no phones allowed. Was definitely 101%

5% 43% 53%

 

it's been rounded up. Was his answer.

 

Time flew by tbf. I learnt that the motorway speed limit is 70 mph.

[Aston Martin]

When I said, yes but most people know the unofficial limit is 80mph. He said, no, how long do you sustain 80? It's the odd spurt and then youre back to 50.

[cort16]

I did a speed awareness course and found it quite useful.

Apparantly you ARE meant to drive with your lights on at night. Who knew?

[Fumbler]

Brother grumpy because another person who was going to view the paperwork hasn't arrived and has seemingly cut all contact. Also, in buying the P38 and not being able to sell the Camry he can't obtain Canadian citizenship which isn't particularly convenient because no money.

 

Me grumpy because I'm, the one who will have to fix everything in his Range Rover as I'm the only one who has dexterous hands because I play the piano. Wouldn't mind if the job contained taking the dash and battery out, which apparently is 6-12 hours long.

[Mrcento]

Absolute waste of the day chasing 3 different cars as stopgaps.

 

I ended up with none.

 

I know the whole car market has never been great, particularly at the lower end of the market, but ffs, it's got a lot worse over the past 3 years, it's just 98% mouthbreathing fuckwits on both sides.

That could be right. If the exact figures were 4.8, 42.6 and 52.6 - they add up to 100 but round to 5, 43 and 53.

[purplebargeken]

Zovirex........ Seemily unavailable in litre quantities, therefore dipping my face into a vat of ice cold battery acid would be a vast improvement perhaps.

Yes, that's why you buy from fellow shiters if possible.

Chippy.

 

One of the things we missed most in Cyprus was proper fish and chips.  Imagine my delight when I discovered that my house in Barrow is round the corner from a promising-looking chippy.  For six and a half years I've been going there for my Saturday night treat (no you fools, I mean fish and chips!).  I usually walk the dog round the block on the way, because they don't mind her coming in, in my arms.

And so to the Grump.  Tonight I walked the dog round the block as usual... and found the chippy in darkness.  Handwritten sign on the door: closed Saturday night.  Oh great, thanks.  So because I'm still not allowed to drive I had to persuade MrsR to drive me to the next chippy, double the distance away... also closed!  So we had to drive around until we found one open, which cost me about £1.50 more than usual.  What a faff just to get fish and chips!

I've noticed around here that the chippies aren't open when you'd expect them to be, it's rather annoying. Where I grew up, all the chippies in the town where open 7 days s week, round here they open when they feel like.

Yeah. Barrow. I went to for an interview once at BAE Systems. Afterwards I had a look around the town.

 

I've seen worse. Not.
