I cannot afford these. Not even close. I wants them.

Make an offer. Send him a picture of your car. £200 quid now and IF you ever sell the car then 50% of its increase in value that the wings have added. You need an expert from owners club to value it before and after.

Or just offer what you can afford.

Just woken up with fucking agonising heartburn.

A blonde lady kills a goat in Scotland, and it's headline bloody news everywhere. She's not the first stupid person with a gun to kill a goat in Scotland. Not by a long chalk, so I can only assume it's because she's a blonde lady that this is somehow news.

Not defending people who think a dead animal is essential for the perfect selfie - that's just sick. But, the media frenzy seems out of all proportion.

It matters not a jot what colour her hair is, not her sex. She (and anyone else who does the same) is a twat. Hope her gun goes off accidentally one day when it’s pointing at her leg.

I think it would be more sporting to give the goats a chance and arm them.

The accent is summed up in this yootube link. Watch and cringe.

Liked for hot Jodie Whittaker action.

You may not realise how satirical that film is unless you're from sarf London.

IF they're your only neighbours.

1. Obtain PA speakers

2. Place next to wall.

3. Load up pornhub find obnoxiously loud video and set to loop.

4. Go out for dinner till about 4am.

I'm very fortunate in not having close neighbours but from long ago a tactic less likely to rebound on you (council used to come round with decibel meter) was to find the most unpleasant sound on an electronic keyboard and tape down a couple of adjacant keys. No need to be loud, just give it a week while you're away on holiday...

My neighbours used to play music loud. Until the day I showed them, in the best possible way, that my speaker is a touch louder than their Alexa crap. They haven't bothered since.

8,134 · October 25, 2018

Seeing the above post prompted me try Alexa on my phone. Couldn't see any point, she knew fuck all. Unless you pay extra for the app that enables her to turn your heating up or scratch your balls I can't see what she's for other than collecting information for Amazon. I'm sure someone will put me right though.

My limited experience with goats is that they can do enough damage with just a big pair of horns, equipping them with guns is likely to precipitate the start of a tyrannical Caprine regime with an economy based on human slaves serving tasty treats to goats.

Some Asda fruit flavour antacids sorted it.

I've never seen a propshaft u/j that knackered it has worn the flange fixing bolts until today...

Not mine, a customer dropped it off yesterday.You could hear the clonk as soon as you let up the clutch.

Seen a few where the uj has failed and the prop makes a right mess of the underside whilst flailing around

I used to live in the Yorkshire Dales. Our milk man was a farmer. He offered to take me duck shooting.

My wife was horrified. And so I declined.

Later that week we had a Chinese banquet. Ironic I thought.

That pair's actually a bargain when you realise that BMW charges £600+ per wing panel plus VAT for E24 wings.

i suspect the reason is Argan Oil which is in vogue (and in Vogue) as the magic beauty treatment treatment for skin and hair as in

quote "Argan oil is most commonly used as a skin moisturiser to hydrate and soften skin. With its high vitamin E and fatty acid content, argan oil is the ideal product to give skin a natural boost. It absorbs easily and is non-greasy and non-irritating, which makes it a great natural moisturiser. etc etc."

Which made me laugh as from spending time in Norf Africa you can see goats climbing trees as the oil is extracted

quote " in some areas of Morocco allows goats to climb argan trees to feed freely on the fruits. The kernels are then later retrieved from the goat droppings, considerably reducing the labour involved in extraction at the expense of some potential gustatory aversion^"

She was just getting her revenge from smearing her face and hair with extract of goat shit.

Sounds similar to kopi luwak, a coffee derived from fruits which have first passed through the digestive system of a civet. I always said coffee tasted shite to me.

I would suspect ferral goat numbers need to be controlled, the alternative methods in rough terrain used in other countries are air dropping poison for them (and other creatures) to eat and die slowly (1080 if you want to look it up) over a wide area or snipers working from helicopters - both of which the public will be paying for.

If the goat was eaten I see no problem other than some ill advised photo posting on social media

October 25, 2018

The self-righteous foaming seems entirely because the outcome of the hunting was photographed and videoed and then posted on teh internetz; feral goats appear to be regarded by the government as something landowners have a legal responsibility to control. There's a massive overpopulation of deer(as in by some estimates over 50% more than the biome is supposedly able to support, deer wrecking the environment and dying of starvation) in Scotland which needs dealing with, the only obvious means available is persuading people to come and shoot bambi on a more or less industrial scale. Alternatively in the long term we could go all George Monbiot and have a widescale reintroduction of wolves, but larger landowners would likely pop a bloodvessel at that suggestion and contrary to their public image the SNP don't like to upset them.

I have moral issues with people who shoot stuff for fun but as long as the output gets eaten I can't get worked up about it; this obviously only applies to things that are in abundance, shooting Cecil the Lion or similar is a cunt's trick. I don't apply the same rule to things like whales/gorillas/etc, if only for when we devise a means of communicating with them and discover that 42 really is the answer and that the Vogons are en-route.

That with the allowance that sometimes it's ok with rare animals too. Decent game reserves in Africa will allow Lion hunting for particular elderly/injured animals to keep the population down to a level the reserve can support. As well as maintaining the ecological balance it also brings in funds to help manage the reserve so can only really be seen as a good thing.

I do think there should be a shooting test first to try & ensure clean kills from the clients though.

For the second time in two weeks I put £25 worth of unleaded in the 406.

Which bearing in mind it is a HDI , meant I had to brim the tank with diesel to dilute it. I am hoping it wont do any real damage as will have 45 l of diesel to about 20l of pez.

Working through the MOT fail 'to do' jobs on the Honda Accord.

Rear lights sorted.

NS front strut sorted.

Front tyres renewed.

NS rear ARB D bush done but as I got a pair I thought I would replace them both...

Mistake. Managed to shear off one of the bolts on the side that didn't actually need doing for the MOT.

FFS. Lesson learned. Don't fix it if it isn't broken.

On New Year's Day, I managed to put about £2.29-worth of Shell diesel in the CX instead of Vmax 98. Something to do with not registering that the pump was labelled "Vmax Diesel"...

Saw a guy on a trike, bandana, sunglasses and a scarf to cover his nose and mouth.

Or the cunt could have worn a helmet.

If you're worried lob a pint of two-stroke oil in the tank, it will improve lubricating qualities and prevent dizzle pump infarction.

Why is the world full of lying people who want to rip people off

I'll start at the beginning

Customer x

Customer x got a quote for a respray from a bodyshop and to suit his needs as he couldnt afford alot the bodyshop chap quoted him £1200 for a basic respray, the car was done and the customer wasn't happy with the bonnet so bodyshop guy repainted it for him, customer x went away with the car happy, many months later got taken to court due to customer lying about bits and bobs saying he paid for welding on the floors which the price didnt include the court saw in the customers favour and awarded more money than the respray cost to customer x

Customer x then brings car to my mates bodyshop for a respray, and the welding to the floor, the job was done the customer was the most awkward tosser but my mate put up with him, the car looked stunning the customer took the car away happy about 6 months ago, can you guess what's coming....... he has received a trading standards letter through where the customer is claiming that the engine etc was removed and put back in with the mechanicals sub standard, the engine never left the bay of the car as he couldnt afford the Labour, anything engine out gets farmed out to a garage up the road, luckily they have pictures they took of it throughout the work proving the engine was never took out, now he's trying to do them for a full restoration cost with lies

This guy is a moron, pisses me right off
