Went to get tools out the Vectra today. Found mould patches on steering wheel,door cards and rear seats. Wish this rain would do one so I can get the bloody thing repaired.

What's he done now? I always make rude hand signals as I drive past his godawful golf course.

 

The celebrities on Saturday's Pointless were "business" people and I couldn't help noticing that none of them were very bright.

Once it's cleaned up and in use it should be OK, it'll be the damp air and lack of fresh airflow causing that!

Riding into work this morning I am coming down a hill and some silly bitch in a silver freelander hangs right up my arse for ages, then comes flying past appraoching a blind corner in a 20mph zone further on to get past me.

 

At the junction down the road she is indicating left to turn off to avoid the queue onto the main road so I go to ride past me and she winds down the window and with a straight face shouts out to me:

 

"Do yo know you were doing nearly 40 mph down that hill then"

 

No, I don't have a speedo

 

"Perhaps you should get one"

 

The only reason you know that I was doing 40 is because you were following me in your vulgar car doing the same speed and then you overtook me in a 20 approaching a blind corner. Are you for real?

 

She just wound up her window to deflect the logic and then she decided that she wasn't turning left at that junction and was turning at the next one instead and wouldn't let me back on the inside and hung me out to dry going onto a main road.

 

Brilliant. You get on your way to work at MENSA luv.

I hate people who use the race card whenever they are in trouble, we've had an agency member of staff at work who got pulled aside for doing something that he shouldn't have been and he's put a complaint in with a statement claiming it was colour related, the nurse who it was about is far from racist, her partner is of mixed race, why not just take the fact he wasn't doing his job right bloody cock end

It's sunny outside. Blowing hard of course... so I thought I'd start polishing and then waxing the car. Got half a coat of polish on the roof and out of a clear blue sky, down came the rain.

 

Waited until it stopped (not long) and went and dried that bit and polished it off, got some slightly abrasive stuff on the bird poo mark and got that off and polished the rear buttress and top of the back wing.... and down, out of a clear blue sky, came the rain again!

 

So, waited, dried it, polished it off, looked at the sky (still blue) and took the dogs out! Of course, it didn't rain the whole time I was out with them until, we were on the way back to the car, when it poured down out of a clear bl..... I have now given up on the idea and will try again another day.

I try my hardest to keep out of politics as it bores the piss out of me, but when I heard he was running for president I assumed it was a joke like the Monster Raving Loony Party or some kind of social commentary about how somebody clueless could run for pres.....but its fucking real, and he has a not inconsiderable chance of winning!

WTactualF? He is a fucking clown. He inherited a fortune and despite claiming to be some kind of business genius, has fucked up repeatedly. He is a shining example of how to turn a billion dollars into a million dollars.

 

And he wants to lead the most powerful nation on Earth? Fuck off.

[Lacquer Peel]

Is he worse than the other candidates? Worse than George W. Bush? I think he's like an exaggerated parody of a Republican candidate, maybe he'll bring down the whole corrupt system.

Donald Trump is like a Disney Villain combined with everything that is wrong with human beings all done up in a very cheap looking expensive suit and a ludicrous hairdo that makes Boris Johnson seem rational and bland.

Picked up some Bubluck today, on way home from Kent and suddenly a James Bond style smokescreen appears behind me, I slow off to find somewhere to pull over and find a nice spot just as the oil light starts flashing, engine all covered in oil,

Not easy to see what's happened but strongly suspect the not too old front pulley oilseal, will have to see has it popped out or disintergrated, or maybe blown out, nice ride home in an RAC truck anyway.

Oil cooler 'o' ring?

You might want to check out the car it was fitted to, he should be on here.

He wants Muslims to be prevented from entering the USA until somebody figures out what is going on ( notice he did'nt say "I figure out" ).

 

Sorry Donald but there would be no need for utter bollocks like this if you studied foreign policy and relations.

Brighter than him have failed to sort the mess out.

[richardmorris]

Anyone, like he does, who refers to themselves in the third person needs to be in secure care asap.

In the US you're 7 times more likely to be killed by a domestic right wing terrorist than a Muslim terrorist, they really need to look at issues at home instead of attacking foreign lands.

Doing my 'secret santa' and trying to do a 'good job' of wrapping the thing and I have stabbed myself in the palm of my hand! Least it's the 'wanking' hand so not all bad....

 

£2 on bloody tape to seal the thing! I am outraged

Ugh. The last bit of this:

It's a brave man who takes a train to a strange town or city and then offers a derisory amount or take them back to the train, I would have just said that's fine if you don't want it here is a number for a cab and walked away from him.

[fordperv]

The seller of that merc must be a really nice chap, i know what my reaction would have been if some pleb would have been like that with me, this reminds me why I don't tend to sell cars.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

If he took him back to the train, I don't have much sympathy for him!!! Surely anyone with any nouse would politely refuse such an offer and go inside for a cup of tea, leaving the guy stood on the pavement like a gormless twat.

[oldcars]

Shame for the merc chap.

[xtriple]

My new stereo arrived this morning. Great, tried to fit it and the wiring is completely different. Been all over trying to get an adaptor but of course, no one does one for my heap and no one seems keen to actually do anything to help... other than the lad in Halfords who was a star and really tried, got nowhere but he tried.

 

Then, Post Office to post parcel, shut! Who the hell in this day and age still shuts on a Wednesday afternoon?

 

Then, coming home, one of my headlights has packed up and someone has stolen the tyre valve caps and then, just to cap the day off nicely Chester, who along with Phoebe have been in the back of the car all afternoon (apart from their run at the park of course) and as good as gold, heads out of the window, ears flapping in the breeze and the bugger has thrown up all over the back of the car! I mean, while his head was out of the window - all down the side....

 

Polished it this morning as well!

[panhard65]

It must be something about Merc buyers I sold a 190 for my dad many years ago and the buyer wanted collecting from the station. My dad went to pick him up and when he started complaining about silly stuff the old man kicked him out to car and drove off. Amazingly he never even left me negative feedback for that.
