Visit the doctor who tells me I shouldn't be working, or even thinking of looking for a job because of how ill I am. Great... won't stop me looking anyway of course, I need the money! In the meantime, I have to cancel the insurance on the Polo as I won't be able to keep up with the repayments after much longer if things don't pick up for me, rather than running into debt I'll just have to hope I can cancel for the short term and afford to pick it up again at a later date when hopefully someone will be willing to insure me, though it was a bit of a battle the first time around. I really don't get why Polos are so expensive to insure, must be all the nobheads that drive them at bus shelters full of nuns carrying baskets of kittens or something. Oh, and yesterday the boiler packed in so we have no hot water which makes anything involving hot water something of a chore (apart from the shower).

 

I'm pretty sure there's more crap coming my way, I just keep putting on a fake smile and laughing semi-hysterically to get me through the day, I don't really know what else to do at this point.

Buggeration. That's plan A AND B both up the swanny. Can anyone write me a short guide to which ones are please? Cos I'm knackered, miserable as sin and could do with cheering up by one, on a short-term basis. Should I just buy an MX5 or MGF and have done with it?

[Cavcraft]

My missus has tattoos but couldn't be more difficult if she tried.

Have you considered buying an MR2 and putting a Ferrari bodykit on it, perhaps driving past Kandy's NiteKlub in Skegness (or some other God forsaken British seaside resort) at 2.31am with your arm out of the window?

It'd be a double whammy as you're quite likely to find a bird with a tattoo who is also so pissed she would say 'yes' to anyone who'd buy her chips and take her back to the caravan.

[cort16]

The tattoo thing is like modifications on cars. It belongs to you so you can do what ever you like to it but don't be surprised or upset when everyone laughs at you because it looks shit.

[triumph1300]

Look for the ones with tattoos on the lower back. Known as a tramp stamp...then your in

I URINATE ON UR INFERIOR CAR

[vulgalour]

Looks like I won't be cancelling the Polo insurance after all because the 'administration fee' for early cancellation is more than I can afford so while I'd like to save the money by cancelling the policy it looks like I have to keep it until things improve, at which point I won't need to cancel it. I should feel happier about this I suppose, but it just annoys me that it's left me feeling a bit trapped.

[RedSparrow]

Is the red one on the top left meant to be a Hillman Avenger? Cos it bloody looks like one.

 

Someone should tell him.

[Mr H Sceptre]

And the bottom one looks like its been in a pretty nasty accident at some point. Cut n shut job.

the bottom one looks even worse when he bends over! Imagine a tat like that on your belly and you getting fatter and fatter - the world's first inflatable XR3i.

I think the bottom one's supposed to be a Mk2 RS2000. Although I imagine in a few years' time it'll be hard to distinguish from a VW Beetle.

It's obviously so shit I thought it was a mk3 escort!

Get them back by rear ending a seat Alhambra taxi full of lithuanians at 0.00001mph! That'll teach them

[Negative Creep]

THe post I made in the grin thread about the office fatty not coming into work because the lifts were broken? It's a grump after I learned she's on full sick pay. Even worse however, is listening to the constant moaning of the smokers who don't have time to go for a puff on their breaks

[tonedepear]

I have a brand logo tattoo. I got it when I was 18 and its guitar related, and even tho I'm not any good at all at guitaring, I was very proud of it. A few years later the Euro got invented, and near enough everyone who sees it asks why I have a Euro symbol on my arm. Curse you Brussels.

[tonedepear]

Next one I think I'll get the route diagram for the fan belt on a dw8 on my back. PRACTICAL INNIT.

[pompei]

Danelectro?

[scaryoldcortina]

Epi phone.

 

I seem to be allergic to DW8 engined peugeot 206s, or at least my nose is. I got covered in oily crap again today including a fair bit on my face (presumably from all the facepalming) but when I washed it off it brought the top layer of skin from my nose with it. I now look like rudolph and feel like I've been punched.

 

Yay!

[ashmicro]

^That's worrying. I'm sure you don't need me to tell you that used engine oil contains carcinogens.

[scaryoldcortina]

It was more like over enthusiastic use of coal tar soap and a flannel that did the damage.

 

And it wasn't so much engine oil as the general sooty gunk that congregates on the outside of a diesel engine. It's a bit like being a chimney sweep without the romanticised "chim chimminy" bollox. Same dirt, same working in cramped conditions for hours on end. Only thing is that if you find your chimney brush is 1/2" inch shorter than it should be it won't make any difference. Can't say that for Aux belts.

[rml2345]

"Chim chimminy

Chim chimminy

Chim chim cherie

As a tart from Dundee..."

That's like a cheap Gibson innit?

[scaryoldcortina]

I don't know what's more of a problem at the moment, finding an excuse to drive to liverpool or finding a good answer to the ultimate question*.... I suppose I could investigate courier costs (to autofive's house) or even get my sister in Hadfield to "look after" it for a while.

 

 

* the ultimate question is of course "Where the hell did you get that, how did you pay for it and why do you need another one anyway?"**

 

** I realize this is 3 questions, but it is usually delivered by SWMBO in a single breath so counts as one.

[Pete-M]

It's not in the way, so no worries... at some point I'll be in Hartlepool so I'll bring it up then.

[scaryoldcortina]

Bonus. I'll bring the rope, you bring the monkey.

Get an import...

 

Cheaper insurance and not as weighed down with extras you dont' need.

 

 

[ashmicro]

In my experience, Eastern European models are low-cost, but tend to fall apart with age.

South-East Asian models are generally more reliable, but tend to be quite small.

French and Italian models are very temperamental, Italian models in particular have many "legacy" issues.

British models can be singularly unattractive unless you go REALLY upmarket.

 

 

I am talking about cars, of course.
