Hell's teeth, it bloody reeks. That weird fish-oil smell just catches in the back of my throat and seriously makes me gag. I've been driving everywhere with the windows down since Sunday. There's not enough Neutradol in the whole world... Due to being an idiot(rubber hose, positive displacement pump and a shut valve) I gave myself a shower with gear oil, soaking my overalls and a favourite t-shirt; after dozens of hot washes I gave up trying to get the smell out and reluctantly binned them.

xtriple Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Driving home (as you do!) and as I turn into my road (not actually mine you understand, just figuratively) a woman in an 02 Focus screams up the road and pulls up at the junction but already about 3/4 of the way through a right turn! She is rather blocking the road and generally made a bit of a tits of it. I looked at her but I must have done it with a bad attitiude or a sneer or a glare or something else I was unaware of 'cos the stream of invective that escaped her gentile and ladylike lips had to be heard to be believed! There was a time when I used to reply in kind but now I just smile and wave or blow a kiss and wish them a 'good day' all of which seems to insense folk even more than a few well chosen four letter words! Today, I just smiled. I thought she was going to explode... clayts450, Cavcraft, barefoot and 9 others 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Chocolate Teapot Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Ignorance is bliss so it seems. I'm sat here outside school on a wall waiting to pick kids up from school.

Cavcraft Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Pretty much every time I pick my missus up, a couple of black cab drivers park just in the way enough to be a sodding nuisance, but not quite enough to entirely block people off. Each time this happens I park with my exhaust as close as possible to them (they're either in their cars with the windows open, or stood next to each other talking) and gently start revving my car up, a little bit more every time. It works better when they're in their cars as the veg oil smoke is fucking horrible and they quickly close their windows or go. Today, one was visibly coughing his bollocks off outside his car. let's see if they're still there tomorrow.

DoctorRetro Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 How about 'Sing it back' by Moloko for irritating? Or better still that ridiculous 'Bad Guy' track from Billie Eilish I think I'm getting old. All new music sounds like crap to me. I do like a bit of Grime though.

barefoot Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 The trip 'O meter thing in the Rover has been gradually creeping up throughout this tankful, peaking at 35.3 mpg. Imagine my disappoint when I refilled the tank and proper maths resulted in a slightly crappy 24 mpg. I appreciate that I've a blocked breather that will be sorted on Monday, but what is the point of such optimism from the car's computer. myglaren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
