The grumpy thread

The Feathers pub in Lichfield does an obscenely nice waffle with shit loads of ice cream and cream with oodles of toffee sauce. Bloody gorgeous but £4 so I only have it when the mother in law is paying.

 

But can you balance them on a cat's head & take a photo for this thread?

Well I wanted to the meet the men with huge foreheads in the Zanussi adverts to see if they were really that clever. We all have disappointments in life :D

25 mins ago I had a really tidy 605.

 

24 mins ago I had a 605 with a dented rear door and a scuff running about 40 cm down it.

 

See, there's a huge pillar at work that you have to do a nigh on 180 degree turn around, and some prick keeps parking a van in the place you swing out in to get round it. Obviously my bad driving is to blame.

 

Gutted.

 

I suspect some body shop owner somewhere near to Basingstoke will be getting some of my money soon.

Tell the wife the shell of the donor Alfa is being collected for £50 tomorrow, she frowns to indicate displeasure it is being disposed of so cheaply (I just want it gone) As it’s a bit low I suggest I’ll spend the evening stripping anything not welded in off it. “Ok but can you just go pick up this thing for the kids I’ve just bought on Facebook group for £40. It’s in a random place an hours round trip away from home too...

Ah bollocks, that's a real pisser... did something very similar myself once in an otherwise clean Escort. And yes, it was a fucking van parked where it shouldn't have been that caused that one, too.

 

Gutted for you. T-Cut can only do so much...

i would never, ever use Kwikfit, unless desparate

 

was in there a few years ago when driving a company car, cos that was the only place that the lease lot had a contract with.

 

and every poor sod that came through the door "needed" either 2 or 4 tyres as a minimum. one poor woman came in with a flat and was in tears cos the fitter bloke was insistant that the car simply must have 4 new tyres.

 

now ok, i didn't go and look myself, and ome people don't bother with their cars, so prehaps it did have 4 bald tyres,

 

or, maybe they were taking advantage of a woman on her own to stick her for 4 new tyres no matter what.....

 

funny they didn't try that with me, cos unless the tyres were like slick, the feckin' lease company didn't want to know, and certainly would'nt pay for any new tyres.

They will have done an inspection, filled out a report then phoned it to whoever manages the car. Not really in their hands.

 

I use to work at KF about 10 years ago and the pressure to sell wasn't that bad. If you could find a good one, with decent staff busy enough to not be greedy and/or desperate then it should be alright.

 

My local one did manage to change the wrong tyre on my g/f's car and sent her out with a tyre on 2mm tread, the day before she was due to drive 200 miles..... though....

164 buyer yesterday-  'I will call you later today.' No call.

 

Hopeful bidder on the Oldsmobile 'Can I collect after the date you put in the advert?' 'Does it have MOT?'

 

 

AGH.

 

And I had a split second this morning where i forgot I damaged the 605 yesterday.
