Wheels day was a washout, it was raining so hard. However, I did still get loads of pictures, but sadly my phone has decided to break. Its not really a problem as I have another phone and the pictures are on the memory card, but I dont know why its died. Buttons stopped working and then I took the battery out, now the on button wont work. Can I put my memory card into my old phone and use that to get the pictures on to here? Bare in mind my old phone is 5 MP and the broken one is 8.1MP.

Just got back,it didn't actually rain while we there,but there weren't many cars left .At least we didn't have to pay to get in.

+1 RAIN .... wanted to put the fizzler back together today, and get it running again. Instead i have began "TRYING" to take the cylinder head off the 700cc engine.Feck it ... gonna go venture out in my canoe and get the red thing done

I got soaked! And the field had turned into mud, alot of cars got stuck. They were leaving when I got there just after twelve, which was pretty disappointing but I still got something like 60 pictures. I managed to get the photos on my pc now, but my phone is completely broken! It wont even recognise the battery.

How does the bottom of a microwave rot out when it's sat in a kitchen?

It looks like the chanel that the plastic round thing that the dish fitted in used to fill with my over done cooking and rotted out , might be my cooking , a complete lack of cleaning or just shite metal or a combo of all three , never had one go quite as bad , still a year and a halfs use for £24.99 aint bad , still pissed me off having to get a new one though

Gaffa tape?

Newspaper and filler.

Pop rivet a bit of an old road sign or a piece of galvanized tin in the bottom of it.

Ive been waiting for a parcel I had collected from Cardiff. Just figured out the shit parcel2go tracking system and was presented with the following.Date/Time Event Extra Details 30/03/2010 17:15:22 Parcel/Collection received off the van Depot: CARDIFF DEPOT 30/03/2010 11:59:53 Unable to locate Customers property Depot: CARDIFF VAN 30/03/2010 06:53:46 Loaded for delivery Depot: CARDIFF VAN 29/03/2010 17:38:52 Parcel received at the Depot Depot: CARDIFF DEPOT 29/03/2010 16:31:29 Collection data received Depot: CALL CENTRE 29/03/2010 00:00:00 Collection data received Depot: CALL CENTRE What the hell does all that mean??

[pogweasel]

Probably means they tried to deliver it to somewhere that doesn't exist in Cardiff. Maybe you used the collection postcode for the delivery address. Therefore it has been returned to the depot, where it will live in perpetual limbo, and as parcel2go couldn't give a rats ass about things like this it will be tough shit.

[Lankytim]

I wouldn't be surprised.... Bollocks, not again!!

Shame about Wheels Day, it was a total wash out last year too. Such a pity because it's a charity event and no punters means no money.If you take your phone apart, covers off, keypad off etc and then leave it in the airing cupboard for a couple of days to dry out it might come back on.

[Hudsonpie]

Not having a computer........the other day my son flicked our PC off and ond on again at the plug, in quick succession and then a big blue spark shot out of the back of it. Now its fucked....so no fun for me as I fucking hate TV.....well at least Smokey and the Bandit was on today....

[mattblack]

Over simplified 'green' bollocks...Followed a bus today with an advert for a car sharing scheme on the back. It contained the slogan "Help stamp out carbon"...now I'm no scientist, but I don't think that "stamping out" carbon would be a very good idea...

[Station]

Pog, my response to this choad o matic would begin with FUCK and conclude in OFF. And make sure you hide the car somewhere so he can't nick it in a spiteful rage.What a cunt.

Driving around for over 30 minutes, couldn't find a single place open that sells booze for me to take away and consume within my squalid little hole. Good Friday can ram it.Did drive past the clubs and make drunken revellers have to run across the road though - MOVE IT SUCKERS!

Arrived home from work during the week to be told that we owe the taxman £2000. And why? Because a 'certain person' filled out our Tax Credit application wrong last year. And didn't think to question why we were being given an extra £80 a week for no apparent reason. Why didn't I sort it out, you ask? Because I'm not actually allowed to have anything to do with teh moniezz, because I'm a man and therefore financially irresponsible (seriously, I have to hand over all my receipts at the end of the week FFS)

 

This didn't really do my mood any favours, and neither did her further news that I would in fact be selling the Volvo to save money. She also hinted that some of my vinyl collection might be worth a few quid, but a sustained death-stare from me put paid to that. Strange how the idea of moving (from our rented house) to a smaller one without a big garden for her to play with was never even suggested, even though she's been bitching for weeks about how cold/damp/decrepit this one is

 

 

If anyone is even remotely considering marriage, DON'T.

 

And there'll be a for sale post up for my fucking car, very shortly Please, don't make me deal with yet more eBay cocoa-shunters this week.

[Negative Creep]

Trying to sell a car.I've had my Ascot up for sale for nearly a month now, and have it for $1100 ono. Now it's working and road legal and is pretty much as cheap as you get for something like that. Can I shift it? Can I balls.I think I've now had 3 people agree to buy and about 8 wanting to come and have a look. Needless to say they never turn up. Agreed to sell it to one guy for $950, he comes back a few hours later with his "mechanic" mate and offers me $750 instead. Can't even sell it online as it's been listed twice. I've no idea what I'm doing wrong

[pogweasel]

Don't be too hard on your bird, Mr_Duke, them tax credz forms are incredibly obtuse. Plus the fact that the system is always 12 months behind your current situation makes it a total farce.

[ashmicro]

a total farce.

That sums up the Civil Service quite neatly. As a former Civil Service veteran myself, I can say they are A SHOWER OF BASTARDS.

[Richard]

That is why I am against ID cards. They will make an absolute balls of it.

Tbh, her original mistake doesn't bother me unduly, it's the fact that she only once queried the amount we were getting, and despite my constant advice to the contrary she didn't keep a record of the phonecall she made, or the name of the person who gave her the wrong info Tis OK, the only reason I'm ranting about her is that she's the nearest target, if I could physically gain access to the bureaucratic cess-pool of an office which generates this pathetic excuse for public service, I'd probably be in the cells by now ;)And the only reason I'm ranting about her on HERE is that if I vented my spleen directly to her, she'd rip my head off. And my balls.
