Been there, done that and invested £40 or so in a set of flame resistant overalls! Makes a huge difference, wish I'd taken the plunge sooner.

So, that ridiculous accent which is creeping in everywhere, including tv and radio, rears it’s ugly head again.

You know the one - think of the recent KFC radio advert where it was explained that the bargain bucket was, “ONLEE NAAN NAAANDY NAAN,” and that KFC food is, “FINGOH LICKINN GUD.”

 

It’s now appeared on the latest Spotify radio advert, which plays regularly, as I use the freebie deal. I wonder if they’ve done it on purpose so that people sign up to the paid-for service, in order to sack off the annoying twat.

 

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

I don’t think anyone spoke like that 25 years ago. I live in Sheffield and you occasionally hear chavs talking like that. Not sure why as it just makes you stand out as a bit of a waster.

There's already a court order in place, which she is in breach of now. ..

I'm a little surprised that contempt of court procedures can't be brought to bear on situations like this.

Owwwww. This is why I'm glad I bought a fire resistant boiler suit for when welding, cutting and grinding on the car. If I didn't, the NHS would certainly be making a loss on my national insurance payments.

Had my first car accident, reversed the Cactus into a brick wall. The Cactus with a reversing camera and parking sensors...

Has it got a pad in the right place?

I wasn't paying attention, the only damage is the tow hook cover flap thing.

[SiC]

I have had a full day to myself for me to get on welding uninterrupted. Except...

 

For feck sake.

A woman who used to work in the same place I do has just died of cancer in her 40s, leaving two kids aged 13 and 7.  Cancer can FRO.

Airports that play music over the public address system in the departure lounge can fuck right the fuck off and then proceed to fuck off again. I’m looking at you, JFK.

It's blowing a nice icy gale here in Barmy East (Sunny... we thought) Sussex. Now even the shed's out of bounds because of the cold.

Mrs D gave me many coffees, water and a takeaway lamb vindaloo and pilau rice last night, I woke up with no hangover this morning.

 

I have had 4 glasses of wine this evening with a plate of cheese & crackers. I still feel sober.

Dunno what it is about some lagers - I can drink shit like Carling all day and night and feel fresh the next day but stuff like Moretti, Hop House 13, Staropramen and I’m fucking dying even if I only have a few.

 

Not even strength - other 5%+ lagers than the ones mentioned are fine

Exhaust is blowing, told the tame mechanic any ideas how much it would be presuming front to back need doing?

Micra? Pretty fucking cheap I reckon.

[Kiltox]

Hardly anything to the exhaust system on that so it’s got to be cheap. Check out ECP for an idea of parts prices.

 

eBay can be good for complete systems for old nails too

Heading down to Deal in Kent to visit family next weekend, fully expecting a leisurely saturday morning drive down to be ruined by wankers on mobile phones and tailgating Aldi's.

 

Last couple of times I've caught the train down, but they are now replaced with buses, still the full going rate mind you but takes 3 times longer, excellent. 

 

Also a big well done to the total cnut in the newsh aldi A-finance thingy who made a point of blasting up behind me last week, only to then undertake then dangerously pull back in front of me, then pulled back to the left lane 200 yards later to sit in traffic, well done mate you are a hero and a legend and I reckon you shaved all of 0 seconds off your journey time.

Oh can we just stop with this old crap? I know it's just having a laugh in a difficult situation, but it really isn't a helpful comment. A few nutcases do their best to ruin things for any group.

Yep. One Moretti and onto The Artois from there. My local serves FELS, a proper Bavarian brew that goes down like a twenty quid whore yet doesn't leave you like a bear with a sore arse the next day.

 

Carling?

Try adding special K or white lightening 50/50 with the lager.

True. I've only encountered one crazy one in my life, unfortunately she's the one holding all the cards in my life because she has my son and knows how to hurt me.

 

But I've got the most amazing and supportive girlfriend who has been amazing these past few years in spite of my ex's mentally messed up ways.

 

It's been tough as I suffer from anxiety and depression, and the past 24 hours or so I've ranged from crippling chest pains, to utter despair, to even considering the unthinkable.

 

I'm glad Claire is there to keep me focused and sort of sane.

 

 

Anyway, back to cars eh? At least my car is OK. :/

Ah! Last few times I've been out on the beer has involved several Hophouse 13s.

 

I though I was just out of practice and generally past it.

 

Maybe it was poor choice of beers.

I've never been able to drink Stella, Grolsh or Kronenberg.

 

Any of those I would be better off pouring the beer on my shoes and smashing the glass over my head.

[cobblers]

Take this with a massive pinch of salt because I'm just going off what a man in a brewery told me, but he reckoned a lot of cheap mass produced beers overstate their % vol - I was the regulations allow a very wide tolerance from the advertised number to give smaller producers some leeway, but the big guys doing thousands of gallons per day can save money by advertising a 4% ale but consistently deliver them at the bottom of the tolerance, maybe  nearer 3% to save on materials.

So what we get used to as a normal lager might actually be much weaker.

 

 

On the other hand, I do agree that any supermarket 640-660ml bottle of lager seems to cause twice as much damage as anything else with the same %.

Hop House is definitely the worst for hangover for me - it’s a lovely drop but it’s fucking lethal the next morning
