Genuine FFS at that!

Hope you are OK, Mr Bickle.

Can't link from my phone but this on ebay is a new Nexia bonnet 352512945900.

 

Only £77 but £150 in postage! Still you don't pay if it's not your fault.

[Cavcraft]

That's bad news, Nigel.  Not much consolation after the damage to your car, but at least you've survived without too much damage yourself.

Although I'm obviously biased it does look like the membership has voiced it's unanimous support on bringing the thread back. Maybe rename it feminine beauty or something similar and mods can PM the whinger and tell him to man up for once in his life?

 

 

I will hold my hands up to having PM'd WTC with a mention that the title may be disturbing to our lady members and perhaps alter it slightly but I wouldn't and dindn't want it to disappear - considering that I added to it very frequently.

How can a walking clothes-hanger become a Dame, it must debase it for great actresses like Judi Dench and Maggie Smith.

I don't think she has been a model or actress for a very long time - I imagine it was in recognition for her charity work

I paid £250 to have the drivers door lock replaced three weeks ago.

 

It has broken again. I am Absolutely raging.

 

Cunts. There. I've said it.

Hi,

 

Sorry but CBA to read any of the backstory about this (yet again) but there are   "  96 user(s) are browsing this forum " and probably only a few going on and on and on and on (yet again)   so if you want to kick them out please have my support.  I'm off to try a 6 pound bottle of k seal in a k series engine before the scrappy arrives.

 

 

 

What does it smell like up there?

That’s the end of my ratty Nexia.

Anyone need any parts off it, before I weigh it in?

Shit!!

 

Glad your ok though Nige, that looks like a very sore back/neck to me.

[320touring]

Hope you are ok Nigel, sorry to hear you having hospital time!

 

Keep an eye on yourself:)

I must be the slowest driver in the world.

 

I don’t seem to encounter any problems on NSL roads, dual carriageways or motorways. Here I make good progress as do others ahead and behind me.

 

But as soon as I reach a tight corner on smaller roads, or a roundabout or 30mph zone, and suddenly I seem to create tailbacks that are measured in years. Worse, my mirrors are filled with people trying to overtake. The same people who were nowhere to be seen in the NSL or in straight lines, but seem to think they’re bloody Schumacher on the roundabouts.

 

I swear to god I could be driving a Veyron at full tilt through narrow country lanes and there would still be some six fingered clot trying to pass me on the blind bends.

[loserone]

That sounds awfully like you need to learn to drive round corners, there's little more frustrating than being stuck behind someone who slows down unnecessarily for everything then speeds up at the only overtaking opportunity.

 

Sorry.

[Christine]

Expect the unexpected on small country roads , you're driving correctly timolloyd   

[loserone]

Unless you are actually driving something as wide as a veyron, you should not need to slow to a crawl round blind bends. As long as your stopping distance is less than you can see, you should be slow enough

[Christine]

Exactly ..so the guy behind on tims bumper is at fault      

 

Actually half the distance you can see,  as the other car coming the other way will need to slow too .

And that’s the rule I’m driving to. My grump is with drivers who seem to want to exceed this on the bends, but then lose their bollocks on nice straight bits of road where my 50-60 might be too slow for them.

 

Even when I back right off to let them pass as safely as possible, they seem to wait for a roundabout or some other stupid opportunity.

Our little ball of life, their are unspeakable numbers of others, but this is ours, and here we are bickering about bloody moderation, politics and other small stuff. 

 

Can we just move on now.

Like I said before third world problems.

 

I am glad I am not the only one with these views.

[somewhatfoolish]

Just been subjected to 'The Foreigner'; unpleasantly surprised at how bad Pierce Brosnan is at doing an Ulster accent.

[Tamworthbay]

Everyone else here is watching The Ant, yet another piss poor ‘superhero’ film. I am so sick of Marvel crap. Not one decent film amongst the lot of them.

[scaryoldcortina]

^ don't worry, Mrs Brown's Boys is on after, that should make the licence fee worth it!

[MikeR]

June Whitfield ...  rip

[cobblers]

Drove all the fuppin way to robin hoods bay on holiday. I love that place, good walk, few nice pubs and then some lovely fish and chips from my favourite chippy.

 

We'd been out walking all day and I was starving, but before I went down the hill I thought I'd better google to see what time they're open.

 

First result:

 

 

[cort16]

I take it you still got some? Can you double fry these mate?

[Tamworthbay]

It’s fried, wcpgw?

Feel free to chap  - just because you don't see a problem with something doesn't mean others don't. That is kind of the point - I disagree with approx 50% of opinions and views on here and long may that continue. Feel free to pass over posts/threads that you don't agree with, or ignore them, or discuss them. 

 

Or complain about it so you get your own way. It's a relatively lightly moderated, easy-going forum and long may that continue (due in no small part to sterling efforts from the IT lot and the Mods) but it needs to be the place that makes it the place or, well, it's not. Then it will die. Or become PistonRetroClone forums. Or Facebook - which is the same thing.

[Cheggers]

I just paid good money to take the gf to see Holmes & Watson at the local cinema.

 

I'm sure I must have seen a worse film at some time, but I honestly don't remember when it would have been. Utter, utter shite from start to finish.

Well, both times I've had actual food poisoning it's been from fried fish/chip shop so I'd guess (judging by my genuine 'I'm dying' for three or four days/copious sweat/puke/water masquerading as poo) quite a lot   

 

 

Seriously, wouldn't even wish it on a politician.

Probably.

[cobblers]

Yeah I'd 100% have taken the chance if I hadn't had food poisoning a few weeks ago to remind me how miserable it really is, days of firing grot out of every end without even being able to keep a glass of water down.

 

I can name many politicians I'd recommend a chippy to.

Wanted to go to the cinema with family today, we've got into a habit of me & Mrs FL going to see one film and FL teenagers going to see another, none of us could find anything we wanted to watch...

 

And we watched the trailer for Holmes & Watson and it did look awful..

I have had a few doses over the years, possibly due to my love of a wide range of cuisine and the odd dodgy chillie burger here and there. Had some SERIOUSLY ropey stuff from chippys but never had food poisoning off them. I must be lucky
