dozeydustman Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Lovely weekend entertaining my parents who were down from Kent, ruined today by a £300 vet bill for the black cat who has an infected fanny and the start of kidney disease. £700 the 2 cats have cost in the last 2 months in medication and vet appointments. And I feel more is on the cards. mitsisigma01 and Rocket88 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New POD Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Why when my wife is clearly exhibiting all the signs of post traumatic grief, do I take her actions as anger towards me? Had a brilliant Friday, Saturday, and most of Sunday and then the shit went to fan. Why why why why why am I such a fucking arse. I then made it 100 times worse today, because I mistook the actual words coming out of her mouth as something other than the cry for help, and instead took it all as a personal insult. And now, why the fuck is she now 2 hours away, alone and sad on Valentine's day. Why the fuck am I such a cunt? myglaren, Remspoor, grogee and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fumbler Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 I'm not having much luck as of late. It's the Micra's turn this week. Expansion tank riddled with cracks on top. Breathing on it caused this hole. Made a temporarily permanent repair with gaffa tape. It took two attempts: I applied too much pressure and went straight through. Fortunately the tank's designed so that it's never under pressure, so this'll be OK for the time being... until it begins leaking, that is.

reb Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 This sort of thing kind of annoys me: I would argue that they're both skills that could take years to properly master. Surely we should just be happy that people are still into cars at all in a world that it's becoming increasingly unfashionable to be actually into cars?

HillmanImp Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Mrs Imp had to take the Mazda 6 into the garage yesterday for a new clutch at 40k. We've had it from 20k. Garage even said 'thats early for a clutch' but for her thats good she managed to destroy the clutch on her Mazda 2 in 10k from new and similarly with the Megane. She's finally coming round to the idea of getting a Mills-o-matic. However, last time I let her drive my Jag, I was following her and her left foot was on the brakes the whole journey as the lights were lit up. I don't know what to suggest. She won't ride a pushbike she prefers to drag her clutch for 2 miles to the gym every day and ride a static bike there instead for an hour. Reckon if I can get her to keep her left foot in check a wafter is the way forward. tooSavvy, myglaren, AnnoyingPentium and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobblers Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Stressed out, didn't sleep well. Not firing on all cylinders, I drove 8 miles with my handbrake on this morning and didn't notice til I put my brakes on and the pedal went to the floor.

I suggest that you stamp on her left foot/kick her in the shin before letting her drive. I'm sure she would soon get the hang of it.

Dyslexic Viking Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 It has suddenly become warmer here which is nice except that the road salting has increased because of it, and this is the result after a trip to the store (the car was quite clean before this). I hate road salt. richardmorris, Remspoor, hennabm and 3 others 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 I've only done a few hundred (maybe up to 2k) miles since I got my new Volvo and it's still absolutely caked in salt and grime. I'll wash it at some point I suppose. So far all I've done is wiped off the number plate so I don't get in trouble for it being unreadable.

AnnoyingPentium Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Are any of yous able to play this album? Ooooh it embedded. Nice! Anyway, I can't get this to play, or anything released by Big Country between 1995 and 1999 (and obviously the US release above from 2002 which is an expanded 'Driving to Damascus'). Certainly, I could just go back to my shitty iTunes rips from way back, but that's not the point. Damned copyrights or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lankytim Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Does anyone remember those NOS Austin A30/A35 door handles I was given a month or so ago? I sold them on eBay and sent them out via Royal Mail who immediately lost them. Those handles had been in storage for 50 years odd and now they're gone, presumably destroyed. I've submitted a claim to RM but it turns out I was only insured up to £20 and not the £40 I sold them for, my own fault as I didn't check, although I did explain the situation to the Postmistress who advised on the best service. I often use Hermes but decided to use RM as I didn't want these items to go missing and RM have a very low loss rate. Seems I was one of the unlucky ones! The customer is pretty upset about it all too. BorniteIdentity, Datsuncog, Dyslexic Viking and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurious Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 British Gas screwed me over big time today. Tried paying for fuel on the way to work. Card bounced. Twice. Ended up paying with the credit card. I'd paid off a bill at the start of the month, 700 odd pounds of a bill. The balance was 0 for 14 days at least. They then deducted the same amount through direct debit today. I was absolutely fuming. BG then say it could take up to five days for a refund. Rang the bank and explained the situation and they recalled the direct debit in a couple of hours. The serious incompetence taking money after the balance was 0. I've actually wrote a letter. And I've printed it off and will send them a physical complaint letter. If the market wasn't such a volatile mess right now I'd move company. myglaren and AnnoyingPentium 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won’t give a flying fuck about a complaint, why would they? It’s not like customers can up and leave to another provider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried to contact eBay to sort it out and spent 45 minutes on chat getting passed around from one disinterested script reader to another so no use there either, Breach of GDPR, surely? Pretty ironic given that eBay bend over backwards to block any messages with contact information in them, in case they get cut out of the deal and miss out on their fees!
