The grumpy thread

Almost certainly. This is the absolute heartache I’m having with my 1999 Avensis - there is a downstream sensor that isn’t easily fooled by a cheap cat or a missing one.  Toyota now don’t have ANY genuine ones left.

 

I think with Honda's you can buy a spacer for the post cat lambda, haven't a clue how it works but seem's it's worked for many people when using pattern cats, may be worth looking into

Like most people I know, I recorded the Car SOS Metro 6R4 episode onto our Tivo box to watch at a time when either one of my parents or my sister isn't in front of the TV (about 18 hours a day).

This morning, I overhear my dad saying he's deleted it off there because he thought the box had recorded it itself and that it was "junk" so he cleared it out along with some other programmes to free up space.  I watch maybe one TV programme every two months while they spend their lives sat in front of the thing.

Thanks for that, but it's not the programme being deleted that upset me - it's the principal of the thing, they didn't even ask or consider me.

[High Jetter]

Harsh. Have you pointed out to him the facts as relayed to us?

[Pieman]

If I do that I get my head bitten off.

Bloody metric system.

Time to start randomly deleting 'junk' yourself.

Learn and delete the last episode of everything they've recorded

It's time something was done about the traveller problem

That'll be 83 families that are heartbroken , they don't care they've stolen a family pet and broken a child's heart

Some were found at a different site a few weeks ago with the ID chips removed , probably with a non sterile knife and no anaesthetic

 

It's treated the same as theft of a bike but it's not , proper boils my piss

Short of genocide, there's nothing you can do.

Fancy inviting the Chinese in to do a Xinjiang?

My dad tells me that the sos on the 24th will be an x1/9. I think it also includes the jenson interceptor that I saw at goodwood.

Having to do support bubble stuff with father in law today - help filling census online, housework etc.

He has his heating on all day set at 28 celcius and no windows open. I’ve drunk 10 pints of water since we got here at half 5.

He’s cold though.

[outlaw118]

Had four days leave last week, got a few jobs done, couple of lie-ins, managed not to stab either SWMBO or myself in the face, so I call WIN.

It's now 21:54 and the alarm is set for 7am and my stomach is in knots and I feel sick. 

Think I'm being bullied - if not, I'm a snowflake and too sensitive? Whatever. Not looking forward to the avalanche of shit awaiting me tomorrow.

Sounds like my mother in law , you could cook a chicken in the living room if you shut the door , heating on , gas fire on , she had a fan heater going as well

Just pulled a tick out of my leg. Pesky fucker.

[mitsisigma01]

You best get that checked out then 😕did you ask if it was carrying Lymes disease🤔 

[mitsisigma01]

If you still have the tick you can send it off for testing, have a look on .Gov site to see if he/she is positive!! Apparently Kent is a hot area for ticks and Lymes. 

Symptoms easily confused with Covid!!! 

Good luck 🤞🏽🍀

Stay calm brother. The thought is almost always worse than the reality. Do what you can do and don’t stress what you can’t. Work place bullying is not nice. Had a fair few years of it and know it’s a stress. Shit reflects on them not you. Fuck um all.

Currently in Somerset so it was picked up while walking in the Quantocks... annoying! Foolishly I threw the tick away but I have researched up common diseases they carry and the symptoms. It wouldn't have been on there for long, but I washed the area with soap and water after I pulled it out and I'm routinely checking the area for any signs of sepsis or Lyme's disease.

So you broke the ticks lockdown ok. 😕

I'm at college in Somerset until Wednesday next week, wouldn't be there otherwise! I think I picked it up while walking by a sheep field, which would make sense. No deer in sight, deer ticks are more dangerous than the comparatively benign sheep ticks. No red bullseye, red lines and I'm feeling OK, but it may still be too early to tell.

Ducks are just horrible.

It’s the living ones that bother me, I would rather they didn’t keep gang raping each other.

My grump? - That these things exist.

What chance does any marriage* have if it starts with a ride in one of these joyless heaps? 

Just look at the hateful thing. If I win eurobillions I shall sponser banger races for these until every single one is gone.
