Theres a very mouldy smell when I get in the car and I cannot for the life of me find it to sort it

I've had this and can't get rid of it. The air con bombs cover it for a couple of weeks but I feel like I need to get inside the dash and scrub the condenser and heater matrix with bleach. I've tried most of the potions you squirt in from every angle eg behind cabin filter and through a/c drain hole. The latest one being a foamy thing that sits on the aforementioned HVAC parts and is supposed to decontaminate it...

Every year at Christmas, we buy a box of Ritz crackers. Like this year, these are often ignored and usually binned months later - but wife had 'the munchies' last night so we opened them. WTF have they done to them? Tasted nothing like we remember, that lovely salty tang has completely gone.

Bit of a series....

Yesterday I left home at 6am for a journey to Peterborough, which would normally take 2.5 hours, possibly 2.75 including a stop either at Cambridge services for a wee and a McD's or Brampton for a wee and a Wendys.

M25 had other ideas, gantry signs say J29-28 30minute delay.....

I pulled into the pez station at Stanstead at 8.15, which is normally no more than 50 minutes away, even in the van. No sign of any crashes, road works or other fuckery. Why can't the gantry signs tell the truth - I'd have found an alternative route, rather than sit there like a dick.

Anyway, left meeting at 2.15pm, as I was going to the O2 last night to see Depeche Mode. More gantry signs warning of impending delays, so I diverted - trouble is so did everyone else. I reckon I was still ahead of the game, but not by much. Collected Moose, then chum, drove to Forest Gate to collect other chum, and get on the tube. Yeah, in the ULEZ, but whatever. 

Fancy a beer" said Chum One. Two pints of Budweiser and a large Pepsi Max.... nigh on £23. FFS.

(DM were GR9 btw).

Massive queue to get into Tube Station, got back to Chum 2's house 00:20. Which, as I found out about an hour ago, means I've got to pay ULEZ for yesterday and today, despite it being one trip. FFS.

Lastly, just been out to get some bread and fizzy pop, and encountered an absolute throbber verbally abusing a female member of staff, who was clearly getting distressed. I asked him to calm down, to which I got the standard "Fuck off you fat cunt" response.

Well mate, you need to google "Fuck around and Find Out" to explain what just happened. I'm tired, you're an arsehole. With a fat lip and a fucking headache.

Why are people such twats?

At lower levels politics is so mind numbingly dull that most people just can’t be arsed. 
Corruption and money can go a long way to bypassing that , either way you get people running your country that you wouldn’t piss on if they were on fire but they have a major say in how you life goes.

It's like a night out on the beers and curry.

You have to choose which end to hang over the toilet.

Either choice is not great.

 

Welcome to the polls here.

That looks like a decent channel, but...is he filming on a hand-held phone while driving at times?  If so, he's a dick.

He's got a chest harness for a Gopro I think.

He's got quite a few interesting old transits he's working on as well.

I presume mostly this was for insurance so that everything is recorded, and it’s put on YouTube as a secondary income.

I think there’d be less cuntery about if more people got punched in the face for it.

Inevitable is unfolding on Twitter/X

Chris Pollitt has another episode of depression. Crowdfunder tries to raise a few bob for him. Accidentally raises nearly £20,000. Car is quickly restored and immediately on the market at a chunky price. Folk feel a bit aggrieved. 

Anyone who raises an eyebrow will be quickly shut down.

I try to see everything positively, but it all feels a bit charlatan.

Why the fuck? I don't know much about it but it's fuck all to do with them.  

 

It is not the same as tyres on an old Renault.

One of the guests at the Hotel I’m staying at has just been bollocked for charging their Electric Car by trailing the lead over the car parked next to it through their bedroom room window and plugged into one of the room sockets

A bloke I sort of knew charged his i3 up for a few years at my old business centre doing similar. He rented a tiny 10x10 office (bills included) for £200 a month and slung an extension cable out of the window.  Inside the office he had a rack of  computers mining bitcoin which more than paid for the rent. He only got found out about the charging when they cut all the bushes back and found his hidden cable

The crowdfunder explicitly said get the car off his plate and restored for him to enjoy. I’d imagine it was that bit.

But he didn't organise it did he?

Car is restored and off his plate. Win win

20k on the restoration of a x300 Daimler ? 
i bet it must have been worth at least 6k when it was finished

£400 for someone to fit a tyre would sting somewhat ..... £400 for them to drive nearly 2 hours each way and fit an unusual size tyre to my wheel of a what, £60k+ I'm guessing car? on the hard shoulder of the motorway in the rain? What a bargain.

What a melt that lad is. "I want to cancel because I'll fit the spare" and the car doesn't even have a bloody spare 😂

Expand  

I can only think the guy was trying to get a reaction with some choice racist adjectives.  Full marks to the tyre guy for not taking the bait. 
Ridiculous that a car that costs that much doesn’t come with a spare wheel, not even a space saver.
