Just come back from a weekend in Coventry, fuck me it's expensive daaaahn saaarf.

 

£12 to park at Birmingham NEC. £12. Twelve pounds. To rest a vehicle on a piece of tarmac.

£2 for a 500ml bottle of water. Fuck that, I'd sooner die of thirst.

I know you said you'd never go again, but at the weekend Birmingham International is six quid parking all day, and can be closer than some of the NEC's own car parks via a covered walkway.

 

I went to the Gadget Show on Thursday on a freebie ticket, took a rucksack with a few goodies that were reduced in the supermarket on Wednesday night plus some own brand fuzzy drinks. When work approve my expenses claim for parking, I'll have shelled out about three quid.

 

Food prices at the NEC are moronic. I happened to glance at a 'Spoons menu, a beer and a burger is ten quid - that's the deal that is £4.95 or summat on the high street. A handful of chicken nuggets and chips from the food place in the halls is £8.95

The o2 is similar. My Dad still talks about the concert we went to - not the concert itself but the £12 for a small Peroni and a Coke. I wasn't bothered as I was ready for it but he was really shocked

Never use your own GP! As said plenty of places doing hgv medicals for about 40 quid. Its a very basic medical anyway, blood pressure, eyetest and some general health questions and thats about it.

Recently had a typical egay w*****

 

Him - what the least you will take?

Me - you need to look at it first

Him - no I definitely take it - what's your bottom price

Me -£1000 and no futrther reduction

Him - can I see it tonight.

Me - no. Saturday is the earliest

Him -OK

 

Today - you can guess the next. He turns up and tries to reduce further. Then asks for petrol money for his wasted trip!

 

Happy days.

Oh but Lobster, you have her text number now. Wouldn't it be terrible if you did something irresponsible with it? There's so many things she could be signed up to in a moment. Not that I'd condone such petty behaviour of course.

Well quite. And obviously I'm not* going to do that. No not at all. Because I'm not a vindictive person like that.

 

Oh, wait.

Did you reply?

I did.

 

Wrote a fairly angry reply then deleted it and sent a reply along the lines of 'WTF , I really don't even know where to begin with you but maybe some driving lessons now you drive a Range Rover'

This is the grump thread isn't it? Just took the future Mrs Fred out for a birthday meal. She ordered steak and drank a bottle of wine and had a cocktail. I had 3 courses too but only one drink as I was driving. £96 friggin quid! All I could think is my car only cost twice that. Of course I could only smile and pay the bill. At least it made her happy but next birthday I'll be taking her to wethersoons!

One of the parents at sons school drives an Overfinch with a private plate...

 

Couple of weeks back I dropped small Lobster at school and sets off. It's a village school and the road ends up double parked so I lets a couple of cars through and as there's plenty of space sets off. Bint in chav RR comes up at speed, refuses to pull into any of the spaces she passes and makes me squeeze past. Hey ho, I shake my head and forget about it.

 

Just as I get to the office I get a text.

 

It's from chav RR Bint who has my number somehow and recognised me. Apparently I should have moved out of her way as I was driving a 'matchbox car' and she was driving a Range Rover which needs more space than my 'matchbox car'

 

Presumably she needs a big car to carry her massive sense of entitlement around with her. Still, I showed the text and dash am footage to a few people in the pub who laughed their collective arses of at her so it's all good.

 

 

How about next time you'll take her keys and her phone and insert them up her pisshole with a table leg?

Suggestions by PM, please - I'm having difficulty getting a rent deposit back from someone...someone who I rented a room from and this was the better of the two mattresses in the room...

Thought the hotel was taking the piss asking nearly £12 for a full english breakfast, but Wetherspoons were still asking nearly £8 and I just about inhaled it in one. Tiny.

£4.75 for a pint of Peroni in some wanky pub that used flowery language and stupid serving things (what's wrong with a plate?) to try and cover up that they're essentially asking £12 for bangers and mash.

 

Up yours NEC, I don't like being gouged in a captive audience so I will never darken your door again.

 

You waahhhhh? Coventry isn't south. No where north of Barnet is south m8  8)

 

That is a rip off though.

on the way to work in the Audi, someone* made a farty smell and when I opened the window there was a twang and the glass stopped moving down - that's going to be fun tonight :(

I slid the glass back up manually but there's nothing to stop it sliding down again, let's hope it's an easy fix, I don't have a day off until next Saturday

Not an easy fix, then

Still, it was nice of sainsburys to provide me with a nice dry and well lit car park to work in

 

post-4462-0-38146400-1459682985_thumb.jpeg

 

I pushed the glass to the top of its runners and secured* it with lashings of good old gaffer tape - should keep the local ne'er do wells at bay until there is time to do a proper fix.

Really? How did that come about?

 

Sadly it happens. Similar BMW brokenage on this hallowed forum. Sadly c'est la vie and all that.

 

Rovah does/did look minty though :(

There are ebay ad's for parts of this car including the 45k engine, i just can't be arsed to post them up but its defo this car.

 

I expect it will end up being some holy grail twin-thingy-me-jig Vitesse, although the logbook will always say Rover 2300.

Dude buying the 'tinas never showed, even after chiselling £500 off an already good price.

Sorry to hear about your Dad Colc, strokes are nasty things. I am a stroke survivor so good things do happen some of the time. Hang in there.
