cort1977 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Small problems really but it's been one of those days today. Dropped my new to me motorbike this morning, on the corner of my street. Low speed so just a couple of scratches. It's old, I can cope so picked it up and carried on. Had a nice ride, stopped for petrol, then the ignition key wouldn't turn in the lock, just couldn't get it to turn. Steering lock on, can't even push the thing in a straight line. Still being a grown up I got towed home only to find that the bloody tow truck had put a sling around the front brake pipe and that's now leaking. At this point I may have had a bit of a childish tantrum. So need a new front brake hose, new mirror and will need to pay a locksmith to get the ignition lock out. Then will need to pay to get it keyed as all the locks for the hard cases are on one key. FML. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
They_all_do_that_sir Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Yeah, thought about this but I would need to prove some sort of negligence on the neighbours part and considering the tiles came off in a storm its negotiable as to whether it was his fault. I do wonder whether the insurers attitude would have been so casual if a child had been hit and killed but there you go.... And what's more, he wouldn't show up or respond to paperwork as whilst he is a nice enough guy, he is fucking incompetent. How many men do you know who need to ask their neighbour to help them change a lightbulb for example? he rents the house now, I bet he isn't insured. Might ask the tenants as I am sure it is the landlords responsibility. I mean I dont care about his place, but if his burns down and takes mine with it and he isn't insured, I will probably murder him.Is he renting? I'm near sure his landlord is responsible for maintenance, and I think has some sort of legal obligation to insure the building. Maybe nip into citizens advice for a chat? It might prompt the landlord to check the condition of the rest of the roof, which wouldn't be a bad thing Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 A tile fell off the flippin roof man, shit happens. Parky has clearly understood the reality of it. Jazoli 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarvinsMom Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 meatloaf on saturday kitchen.... he's looking old and frail. now i know Rocky Horror Picture Show is like 40 years old, as is Bat Out of Hell, now so Meatloaf must be into his 70's. but even so, getting old is shit. all you kids out there, just don't do it.

Timewaster Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I saw Meatloaf at the NEC in the early 90s and he looked like her was going to peg it on stage then. I did hear him on the radio this week and he sounded pretty frail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercrocker Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Nah, he's a nipper.....My music heroes are all from the 1950s. Every now and again I realise I am leaning on the stage, bottle in hand, rocking to an octogenarian. Last time I saw Bill Haley's old drummer play a shit-stomping solo he was fucking 90.

Aston Martin Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I was bringing an artic back this morning, going up the M1 and a lane was closed due to broken down vehicle. The signs said 40, I'm doing 40 and no one else is. We pass the vehicle, the gantry then showed NSL. So I do 55, the next gantry is blank, the next gantry is also blank, but I'm pretty sure a double flash went off when I went past. There was a car in both the lanes next to me, but it seemed like they were both doing below 70. It was weird why it flashed as it was daylight and it didn't flash at the cars in front.

MarvinsMom Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 oh and my grump? well found out this morning that the metal strap that holds the back section of the exhaust on to the Rover 75 has snapped and that the exhaust is still on the car more by good fortune rather than anything else. i came out of the house, and as i walked over to the car, i saw something hanging down, and i wondered what it was. now i know, and probably a good thing that i did get on my hands and knees to have a look. so as i darn't risk the M1 with it just sort of dangling i've gotta use the little gay jeep next week for work. bloody marvelous, i find that car uncomfortable to sit in for anything more than an hour or so, and its 2.5-3 hours down to nottingham..... bugger doesn't come close, and the worse thing about it is that it was an advise on the MOT earlier last the month about the exhaust not been securely supported, or the support been weakened i forget exactly how it was worded, which was supposed to have been sorted by the garage at the time. bastards.

Frogchod Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Had a brief laps out of Autoshiteness and though I'd look at new vans. Considering the new Mk3 Jumpy/Dispatch/Expert is out I thought they'd be discounting the old model.Are they fuck.Considering the Scudo is being deleted and being replaced by the Talento (Renault Trafic clone) I thought the Scudo would be on super dooper discount.Is it fuck Current Jumpy now on 390000, still wont die..... Think I might get an ex ERDF Kangoo and a roof rack instead. A bloody Renault Or is there a Picasso van ? DeeJay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
