If he knows that much why hasn’t he done it himself? 🤣

Would I get £5 off as there's no air-con to check? No? I'll make a wanky video.

Incorrect.

VERDICT: TOP BLOKE.

I concur. Only met you in person the once years ago down the oakdene cafe when I was on my bike and you was running a silver Leon. Plus when anyone calls me a massive cunt I take that as a form of endearment.

Then he has to take it to someone who actually knows what they're doing to flush his brake fluid out after he's put power steering fluid in it 😅

Battling the lurgy that is covid but not actually covid, all very bearable until I sat on the couch to watch little un  open her presents and my back went into spasm .... fucking bumhats and this will be the first time I've missed going to the local for a quick pint in 25 yrs :( 

TIME TO BREAK OUT THE EMERGENCY JAMESON :)

Well I've just missed the first Kings Speech because I nodded off. I did see the one with Colin Firth in it though, at the cinema.

Or some DOT 4 he’s had in the shed since 1998.

Had a lovely cunt next door free silent day, as they fucked off somewhere in the pikey truck. Except they came back 10 minutes ago, and it's now screaming / crying child with Mr. Cunt shouting "you fucking bastard" and slamming doors. Guess such child rearing techniques did him no harm....

Spotted an expensive fail today. Tesla with AA van in attendance. I know nothing about electric cars, but I'd diagnose it was something to do with the recharging plug and 3 foot of broken cable hanging from it.

MrsImp has covid. 3hrs after testing positive she went out as she was bored of being stuck in the house, as fuck everyone else, yeah. 

She also refuses to cover her mouth when she coughs, making sure everything in a 3 metre radius is fucking covered in her fucking germs so everyone else will get as ill as she is. 

Cunt.

...making sure everything in a 3 metre radius is fucking covered in her fucking germs so everyone else will get potentially massively more ill than she is, still be suffering seven months (and counting) on, or die as several of my personal friends have.

Corrected to match my personal experience to date.

It looks like it's made out of paper mache and isopon. Get it fixed up. 

 

Or a get a jogger. My dull Mégane is dull, but it's not laid a finger wrong in 12,000 miles. Might need tyres soon though.

I have finally started to feel better after covid but the last few days have not been good.

Today, another message comes down the grapevine - a good mate in Bristol had a rough night. He recently bought a 30k mile Partner Escapade he'd been coveting for a bit, he loves Berlingos. 

He got too drunk to drive and paid someone he was with to drive him home. Took exception to their driving and turfed them out, tried to drive himself home and ended up putting the Partner on its roof. No idea what happened but he tried to hide or flee the scene and got bit on the leg by a police search dog. 

Waiting to hear what plod do with him but he supposedly blew almost high enough for a year's ban. 
FFS, man. 

Even if it was a close mate of mine who was that much of a bloody idiot, they'd be cut out of my life.

Laminate flooring - 1, Phone - 0. 

Glass is intact, but screen inside seems to be throwing a spasm. Think I'll go back to the Nokia.

My neighbour has recently starting parking their other motor outside my house. 

I couldn't give two shits as it's a free country but they keep bumping their car up onto the kerb. A lot of occasions they misjudge it and  gobble up most of the width of the pavement which means I have to side step shuffle past their car each time I want to walk up my own front steps/path. 

There is plenty of space to the side of my steps  (and plenty of parking roundabout without having to resort to bumping up on pavements). 

It's a trivial matter and maybe I shouldn't complain too much but ffs engage your brain a bit. 

I might just borrow my mates tiny trailer and park it on the road right outside my steps and leave it for a month just to be a passive aggressive tosser.

I really struggle to squeeze past cars parked like that. It's amazing how often my fat belly rearranges the wing mirror

Hope there's a special place in hell for the thieving cunts that steal classic cars

Coil spring snapped on the Golf.  Whilst sat at Fleet Services.  Supposed to be going to stay in North Devon.  That’s fucked that then.

Thinking of sacking this car off.

A year ban is the absolute minimum basic sentence.  Can be reduced to 9 months by signing up for a drink-drive rehab course.  While the limit is 35mg, enforcement action usually only starts at 40mg.  That is actually quite a low level of alcohol;  the amount needed to be such a shit driver as to put a Partner on it's roof is a lot more than that (or is he just a terminally shit driver anyway?).  Sounds to me like he'll be in for a lot longer ban than 12 months.

.. also sounds like a massive bellend ..

I don't know what  sort of test he took, but the result was quite significantly higher than that.

Bye-Bye his license for maybe 2-3 years then.  If it was a lot higher (like over 100 or something similarly high) he might be looking at a suspended sentence, or (especially given that there was an accident involved) maybe a custodial sentence.

Using a rusty car to learn to weld is like learning to cook by becoming head chef at a 5-star rated restaurant.   Rusty, painted, undersealed, electroplated, variable thickness sheet steel is one of the most difficult things to weld there is.   By comparison, welding clean new 5mm-thick steel section is childs-play.  If you really want to lean to weld, start with heavier sections of new steel.  Rusty car bodywork is what you have to work up to, never where you should start.

Same happened to me this afternoon, went to reverse into a parking bay and heard the familiar loud twang/thud - made the poor chap walking across the carpark near me jump a bit!

Had a quick shufty, bottom coils gone, but its sat back down ok so it'll be alright till I get round to it. It was only replaced last summer, fuck alls built to last these days.

So the to do list gets longer, leaking egr cooler, broken front spring and the front pads and discs haven't much life left in them.

Since we're talking about @Popsicle  , I should expect no less than a total mileage equalling that of 3 return journeys to the moon ;)😂
