WHAT THE FUCK???!!!!

This morning paid about 900 to get the Elgrand through MOT. Used it to take my partner to the garage so she can MOT her Honda, stuck in traffic on hot day and the head gasket failed.
AA refused to collect us because the tax is invalid because the MOT is invalid, which it is not, as of this morning.

It's about 25 degrees c and I'm utterly fucked off

PS yesterday I got FOUR flat tyres cycling to work, then my gear cable slipped.

Bad luck. BTW how do you get FOUR flat tyres on a two-wheeled machine??

It turns out what you do is:
1 ride over some crappy UK urban roads and hit a pothole, blowing out back tube
2 replace the tube on the back wheel with a cheap spare that you carry at all times
3 carry on a bit, get a thorn in the front tyre and manage to get into work with slipping gears
4 come down at lunch to find both tyres flat. Swear a lot.
5 walk to argos on lunch and get two more spare tubes and a puncture kit
6 Replace failed rear tube
7 Repair front thorn puncture withnpatch
8 Come to leave work and find the front is flat. Presume the repair failed, use last spare tube and pedal as fast as you can hoping that's the end of it

Quite a run of bad luck this, even for me

I bet you felt deflated, tomorrow will be a better day.

With your run of bad luck don't even think about buying a lucky dip for tomorrow's Euromillions. With the way things are going you will probably wake on Saturday morning owing Sven from Sveden £123,000,000

Take a sick day, it’s valid. Sleep it off in the van

 

[Blaggard]

Had you had any indicators re head gasket prior to today?

 

[Blaggard]

Seems like a much nicer place since a members account disappeared recently

 

[ElCurio]

Hmmmm I think mine is worse… I have all that in my van, plus an axe, a mini chainsaw, a blanket, some air pistols, a compound archery bow, smoke grenades… but only if I’m heading out for some camping.

It’s the way back into central London that starts looking sketchy for a pull-over from the Met.

"Honest officer. I need them for uhh..... hobby....."

Motorists describe traffic chaos as cars stranded on M1 to Sydney after damage from metal shards​

Motorists say a large number of cars were left stuck on the side of the road after being damaged by metal shards that spilled from a truck.

The NRMA says it is getting hundreds of calls from motorists across Sydney for help.

A trucking company based in Sydney's west has admitted it was their truck that accidentally dropped the debris.

My son is my hands for heavy duty jobs as I'm old and battered.

The problem is my son likes to sing and is really looking forward to the Oasis comeback, not the easiest of vocals to replicate without sounding even worse than Liam does already these days.

He believes he's a good singer and practices as he goes about his day, the problem is that he sings like Pavarotti has been on a Tequila bar crawl, smoking cigars and passed out in the street, landing on a dozen wild cats having sex on crystal meth.

It gets worse if he's wearing headphones, so van work is a headphone free space now. As soon as he starts singing when working on something, I make up a question to ask him, or show him something he didn't know

Fuck you Liam Gallagher, with your nasal droning timbre, I do not deserve this much torture

I am an absolutely brilliant singer while it's in my head, its my vocal cords that don't work quite as good as they should.

Here’s a rant:

Where the f**k is all the E5 fuel in Swansea gone? Tesco momentum is harder to find than Jimmy Hoffer. BP ultimate must have lot interest in the UK economy and emigrated to Dubai to persue a career on Only Fans and Shell must have caved under the pressure and gone to live in the sea.

There is no E5 in Swansea. 16 petrol stations i’ve gone to this weekend, not a drop of E5 in any off them. Found LPG and Red diesel but no E5.

Can i use E10 or?

 

[Bob Edwards]

no e5 around me horndean/waterlooville today been a bit hit and miss all week

 

[WhatsThisFor]

Add Octane Booster to a tank of E10.

Tell me if there’s a better way to spend a Saturday night, a bit of EOC in the bath with a beer and the snooker, while keeping an eye on Ele on the cameras

That’s a little reckless I have to say, you might drop your beer in the bath
