Ask Joe, I turned right, waved at @Lpgc who was there by coincidence, my phone died so no satnav or calls. I do miss the day we never met up after the ice cream. I still have an Elgrand he doesn't. So I claim the victory 🤣👍

Driving home from work and suddenly uh oh.

What sounded something similar to rubbing or vibrations when braking and cornering.

Like a low humming noise.

Then I clicked...

No it's not the car at all.

A new song I've added to my Spotify playlist has a sample part way through the song that plays in the background.

It's just so happened to kick in when I was braking and cornering a lot 😂😂😂

I once had a loud hissing after cornering, took me a while checking out the car to find the can of WD40 in the boot was jammed between the rear arch and the tool box and spraying its contents all over the boot floor, the car eventually rotted out but the boot was perfect ;)
 
you may have been distracted by my aunty, Bobby she was up there waving and plying her trade for the night
 
Had the outlines of a planned holiday abroad all sorted, just about to press the button on paying....
"Oh, so-and-so can only come during half term"
And watch the flight prices triple....
It's my bloody holiday, I'll go when I bloody well want, or when the majority can make it, not what suits one just because they've got a kid.

The boiler starting a godawful grinding noise 20mins ago, now no hot water. Another £60 on an engineer visit.....after the last one a few weeks ago saw the boiler working (after it had been making THE SAME noise, so didn't even take a look....🤬)

And to top it off, I've still not been paid for the side gig work I've done to date.
I am so officially done with this endless stream of kak.
And I can't even jokingly blame Bob.
 
insurance renewal time of year has arrived

renewal quote from Admiral £560, pretty much level with last year

as always, hop on the comparison sites to see if a better is deal is kicking around

usually there are some in the same ballpark

but no... £1100 is the absolute cheapest i can find and that's from some pokey no name company

guess it's admiral again then 😂

Just to add to this.

Rang greenlight for a quote.

They said they couldn't come close the Admiral and the reason was my post code.

Apparently there has been a massive spike of road accidents in my area on the insurance database, which doesn't surprise given how many idiots drive like maniacs around my way.

So kudos to them, as that's the first time I've experienced an insurer give that transparency.

That's worrying. I'm in NE38 which was bad a while ago due to theft. Which postcode area are you in?

NE4

It's been decent for quotes for quite some time, but this year is the first time I've seen rises like that.

God bless Admiral 😂

Cheers Joe, I completely forgot about Bob. So anyways up, I was well on target to meet other Elgrand owners but @Bob Edwards fcked it up for me. I never heard the last of it from @Gwilo365 . I know Bob wasn't there but it was still his fault. History rewritten. @Gwilo365 any chance you can leave me and my sense of direction the fck alone now? 🤣

well the sewage co. dont tell you if you earn less than £22000 a year they can knock 40% of your bill so our £502 a year is now £250 bargain

Lucky fcker, my water bill has gone up £200 this year, I'm not on a meter so I'm installing a fckin big fountain in my back yard this year 👍 👍👍🤣
 
Mines gone up about the same £200 a year, checked with my friend/neighbour who is on a water meter a couple of years ago, same as me only two in the house, same size house so house water usage should be about the same, his was about £20 a year cheaper, but I have a pond, larger garden and greenhouses, my wife is a very keen gardener so I am sure a water meter would boost our bill up considerably.
 
WTF these Americans didn't realise that the Brits had taken Rock and Roll and owned it

What the fuck were they thinking when they designed the glovebox on the E51!

I know there is a lot behind it, but the dash is massive and glovebox is the size of a large letter....

Oww FFS, next Friday I've got to drive to Heathrow, get on a plane for 11 hours to Tokyo, spend two days in Tokyo of which one will be an 11 hour excursion to Mt. Fuji, Lake Ashi and then back on the feckin Shinkansen. Probably spend the other day looking round the fecking shops. God I hope she doesn't insist on a 20 minute cab ride to SuperAUTOBACS in Tokyo bay.

The next day I get on a feckin great cruise ship (probably full of fecking Americans) at Yokohama for 9 days, stopping at Aomori, Akita, Toyama (where my E51 is from) and then another stop in Busan, South feckin Korea. Then it's back to Tokyo before flying home again (thank feck).

Jesus, FML!
