Didn't think that was possible. Last time I drove down that way, it looked like The Eastbourne Supremacy

Grabbed a bottle of sparkling water in the Tesco while on Tacho break, aside from the handful of visiting families in there, most of the shoppers looked like an average age of 103.

Middle class? Why can't you spell then?

I could decide to write it as hummus or humous so combine both.

Well it's fair to say some poor bugger is having a worse day than you.

Or a Volvo, everyone I have had have been brilliant. Having had back problems for years they have been a welcome respite at times. Worst ever was a Mazda 3 which nearly crippled me.

Up to a point, and I think that point was about 2002 though I've only been in a few more recent Chinese Volvos. I had a succession in the 1980s and 1990s that had superb seats but the (very) last was a 2004 V70 that was (a) very uncomfortable, (b) hugely unreliable, (c ) thrown together, and (d) exceptionally noisy.

SAABs always had good seats if memory serves. For a modern Mrs BN's CX-3 seems to have decent seats but I rarely go far in it so probably not the best judgement. I miss the DS, great seats and fantastic ride comfort (when it worked).

Lower middle class.

The dickhead in the white Volkswagen SUV thing who nearly went flat out into the back of me this evening.

I'd been behind a slow-moving car in traffic (car had either an armchair or small sofa bungeed to its roofrack so the driver didn't want to go fast) but as I was in no hurry sat behind it until I needed to turn right at some lights.  I went into the turning lane and stopped, when said SUV decided he had had enough of waiting in the traffic and floored it down the outside of the queue to try and use the turning lane to cut ahead of everyone - and didn't notice I was sitting at the lights about to turn right!  Luckily the smallest of gaps opened in the queue to my left and he somehow missed me, fuck knows how!

^^^^^ Dashcam and post the footage somewhere. He might not get prosecuted for it, but at least he will be the subject of some ridicule.

Hummus in Waitrose is part of thier essentials range and therefore competes with Lidl on price.

Except that as its an Arabic word, anything vaguely phonetic is the correct spelling. Picture taken from waitrose website to ensure middle class credentials. 

2/10, must troll harder.

I still don't understand how anyone manages to shop at Asda without just buying utter shit and spending more money than they would have done on actual ingredients to make actual food.

 

 

My grump: fell asleep after drinking cider with the kids so woke up at 2 and went downstairs to brush my teeth.  Toothbrushes caught and the ceramic cup they live in fell into the sink

Now I need to buy a new sink.

 

Grump 2: looks like the LEAF is going knock for knock and will cost us an excess.  Fucks sake.

[loserone]

Grump 3.  Apparently a pedestal sink is impossible to clean and it either needs to be wall hanging (not a chance) or part of a cabinet.

 

Both of these sound worse to me, but then I only clean the sink when it needs it, rather than on an imaginary rota.

The place isn't affectionately* known as Spasda for nothing.

Oh do feck off.

I'd been at werk for an hour by that time. Not doing work. But clocked in. Actually at 8 am I was at the morning meeting trying to avoid taking actions. 

I've now managed to make 10 decent ceramic test bars and having found the perfect * parameters await an operator to do 3 Saggars worth (60) so we can get them.in a kiln and find out in 2 weeks that they are shite.

Hard to know what you're moaning about, tbh. Just back in after a couple of days away and someone has stolen all the new turf we laid last week.

 

My wife is out there right now, looking forlorn.

Crikey, they didn't let the grass grow...
