HillmanImp Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 I really ought to go out and check the starter motor solenoids earth on the Nissan as its been a bit reluctant to start sometimes in the last few days. But its gone a little chilly hasn't it and I'm quite liking sitting here on the sofa watching the lad play on the xbox. Lacking in motivation a bit.

GrumpiusMaximus Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Lesson for you here kids. Check your MOT hasn’t expired and if you have a PD based car, check the Intercooler hose isn’t worn. Can’t even bodge it. At least the van is new. For a £25 part that even a ham-fisted twat like me can do in less than half an hour. CGSB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrumpiusMaximus Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Put it this way. I’ve bought cars that are cheaper than this recovery. But at least I won’t forget my MOT next time.

jakebullet Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 We're observing the silence for the Queen. "Fucking let me in" BANG BANG BANG! Yes, Mrs. Cunt next door has decided to lock him out when he's gone outside for a fag. He took it well*, and only spent 30 minutes trying to kick the doors in, until some m9s turned up and persuaded him to leave. Disrespectful.

They seem to come around ridiculously quickly sometimes. I had that "Oh ****!" Moment a couple of years ago when I thought my test was still a month in date but had actually run out a fortnight ago. This was right before I was about to set out on a trip to Aberdeen. Thankfully my local garage was able to fit me in the following day and it was a clean pass.

Made me thoroughly paranoid going forward though! My Mum did exactly the same a few years ago. I honestly thought I had another month or so to go. Home now. Car recovered, parts on order, MOT booked in for a couple of weeks away. I work from home anyway so no big deal there and the Mini will be our chariot of choice for a bit. The money stings but I’ve just got a backdated pay rise, so it’s not the end of the World. Just a rough couple of hours I’ll laugh about in a few months.

Your neighbours are dickheads, there's no doubt about it, but it's unrelated to whatever the latest bollocks is going on with the queen. A sizeable majority of people have no idea (nor interest) that there's even any silence to observe, and you really can't expect everyone to know about it, especially not dickheads like your neighbours. TLDR: Queens dead, sorry if you're upset but objectively she did absolutely sod all to help or even interest 99% of the people in the country so people are all going to have different reactions to it than you have HillmanImp, Astrawally, Matty and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rust Collector Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 I didn’t realise there was a silence to observe, not sure where it was communicated or when? I think I was out buying a burger with my mrs when I should* have been paying my respect. HillmanImp and cobblers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HillmanImp Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Someone kicked my dog on purpose earlier. I was going to give them a hiding but realised that would've been disrespectful to our recently deceased Queen so let them get away with it.

jakebullet Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Could just be a timing coincidence I suppose. Finished watching call the midwife, best lock him out now. Suppose it brought the neighbours together in a look at that daft bastard attacking his own house way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beko1987 Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Just the bloody esso is open in Thame. Obviously I walked into town first, realised nothing was open so walked a mile to esso, deciding a walk would do me good rather than save 5 minutes and walk home to the car. Get there and their bloody cashing up. Still open, but can I wait 5 minutes... 9 minutes later and with now a huge queue behind me I finally get served, 30g of gv yellow please... "only got gv original" Ffs fine thanks. Beep £20.45 😡 I paid with 2 £20s just to piss the guy off rather than blip my phone and stomped the walk home a sweaty horrible mess!
