Seen a Ph2 GeeSSSaye for less on bookface. About £2.7k iirc?

I don't care whit the trim is, LS would do me nicely as long as it has air con really. There's an Envoy belonging to someone in Ayr, on an S-reg. Spotted it a couple of times. Still quite rust free, might leave a note on it next time I see it.

Non car-related grump.  Trial in Canterbury today for a prominent event that happened just over a year ago.  The bastard is denying murder, despite brutally killing the victim.  Without giving away too much, the bastard lived quite close to me and I wish I could go back in time and throw him in the river...

When ABS used to be such a selling point and something to brag about it got its own badge on the back 😂

I'm looking at you GM!! My Daewoo Tacuma was blessed with a sticker with ABS written on it on the rear window from factory. 

I remember a 'birthday cake neck' dealer valuing it once (£50!?) and he said "Ooh its got ABS" as he waddled around the car puffing a cigar. 

What went through my mind, but I sadly kept quiet - "Yes it does have ABS, and no I'm not accepting £50 for it, now get away from me with your mouth full of sausages you prick!" (thanks to Sierraman for that phrase :) )

Been applying to some jobs and I now can't find the bit of paper with my NI number on it. Fuck.

In less irritating news, I've lost an earbud bit to one of my earphones. Feck.

These are the first jobs I've ever applied for since I'm off of university until September, before now it's been voluntary work. So no such thing kicking about. Think I'll have to phone them tomorrow.

On a walking holiday with a mate on Mull. When I awaken after an unplanned snooze in our hotel I find she's had about 6 lagers in the bar and now very worse for wear. She proceeds to very loudly ask me and rest of the bar about the possibility of a shag later. Interrogates me as to why I don't fancy her. When the fish and chips arrive I'm alarmed to see she can't use a fork. She stabs at the mess with such violence that tartare lands on her nose and forehead.  When we getup to leave there's fish everywhere and her seat is effectively destroyed.  FFS

Sometimes it's on NHS letters etc., at least it is in England along with your NHS number.

Lady, if you're considering "dispersible" to be too big a word for you to understand might I suggest that a pharmacy maybe isn't the best place for you to be working...

My wife's Rover Mini makes me grumpy just now. It randomly won't start or cuts out when driving. A local garage has had it 3 weeks and it's never displayed the symptoms with him.

I guess part of it is that I have an absolute seething hatred of "stuff" strewn about the interior of my car.  Having cables running off from the 12V outlet is an absolute non starter.

Hence why basically half the interior would need to come apart for the install.

Expand  

There are cables available to plug it into the OBD port. I have it plugged in then up the windscreen pillar and tucked in the front of the headlining.

Card fraud.  My suspicion is the payment thingy in the multistorey, the device for paying seemed a bit off but since I was unfamiliar with it (I've used the multistorey twice in about three years) I just thought it was my unfamiliarity with it.  Anyway, someone tried to spend a grand of my money as a result, first I knew about it was the bank stopping my card and sending a warning text.  Happily, the bank stopped any money leaving my account that shouldn't, unhappily it's 3-8 days for a new card because reasons.

I hope whoever it was trying to spend my money had a really disappointing time.

At a classic car show at the weekend I overheard a guy say to his pal " I like the rims on that car". I had a look to see what hideous 20" monstrosities he'd seen, but no, they were immaculate 14 or 15" chrome wire wheels on an MGB. Wire wheels are not "rims". 🤬

That bank should be named and praised.

Cooperative.  I've been with them for years, never had a problem with them.
