Omegas etc- a miserable story that ends miserably

[Father Ted]

1. become bored of current car. This takes about 30 minutes following purchase.

2. make up catastrophic fault which is DEFINITELY about to befall current car, and thus it must be sold before sunset.

3. get idea of something I might like, this changes like the wind based on i)what I am currently reading ii) what my mate down the pub says iii) something I might have watched on telly the night before.

4. get obsessive about something I might like

5. assemble £1000

5a) The wife gets wind of the money and spends it on my behalf on something we need (like a new car for her, a porch for the back door, a new washing machine, a new kitchen, a new mattress for the bed (I jest ye not - she spent OVER a grand on a mattress) a new sofa from DFS etc etc)

6). return to step 1

What's so special about the £1k(!!) mattress?

I bought a new bed with mattress for £170 last week which I thought was a lot of money; worth it for the most restful kips I've had in ages though.

It's just marketing bollocks- mattress topper made of coconut tree or whatever kind of crap they thought of this week.

 

I also bought a mattress last week- just £160 for an excellent memory foam model for a double bed.

[Father Ted]

Well, the one she bought was latex free ( she has a latex protien allergy and cant use anything containing latex - including those memory foam gubbins). She also has a double curvature of the spine (alkalising spondylosis) so wanted something firm that offered her a lot of support. Hence we now have a mattress with something like 2500 individual pocket springs stuffed with horse hair which feels like sleeping on a kip mat in a Vango out in the wilds of Wales. Honestly - a mattress made of bricks would be just as comfortable.

 

It also weighs as much as the moon and gives me a hernia every time I turn it.

In view of the thread on the relative safety of shite and moderns (see thread on the topic) and the fact that more people die in their beds than on the roads, it would be a false economy not to buy the latest and heaviest model of mattress with all its built in safety features

As sound as that advice me be, statistically, one of the most dangerous activities that we partake in, is simply getting out of the aforementioned bed

The wife already has a air of airbags built in

[gtd2000]

I don't mind them either, they seem quite hardy and I never think of them as just a Swede-Dutch Carisma, Volvo went to quite a lot of effort to make the floorpan (is that all they share?) their own.

 

Due to the common platform, many components of the suspension and drive train are compatible with Carisma as well as the Mitsubishi Evolution III.[citation needed] and Proton Impian.

The same happens to me, I bought this Mondeo only a month ago and already I'm starting to regret it, It's a nice car but i think there's something wrong with the engine as it uses a lot of diesel and when you accelerate the car isn't as quick as i would expect a 155bhp car to be and the power isn't a smooth climb, it feels like it has flat spots.

 

Oh and the suspension is as hard as fook, too hard really for me. What a tit, I'm starting to think about keeping the bora again now!
