Plastic vauxhalls. Haven't driven the car for a few weeks so battery is dead. Tried to charge it but it's not charging enough. Buy new battery and assume it'll be in 20 mins later... WRONG Heater cable needed moving - broke the clip after struggling with it for 20 mins.. Fcuk.. . Drilled it to fit a self tapper and discovered it's made from undrillable metal, got through and then snapped the drill bit putting the drill down fcuk, fcuk. Spend another load of time trying to get the bastard heater hose back on, start the car up and the battery light is on. Battery not charging. fcuk, fcuk, fcuk.. so I still can't drive it! fcuking piece of sh*t. Where's the matches...?

It was freezing out there today, I had 3 jumpers on. I also had a wisdom tooth out this morning that needed drilling into multiple pieces while I gagged on bits of tooth. Coupled with our early morning wake up by mice running around in the loft, it's been a good day. The swearing helps but I think a couple of ales might hit the spot a bit better.

Twats that constantly speed up and slow down on the Motorway. Most days I end up over taking the same car 4 or 5 times.

 

Or as you overtake them they speed up totally unaware of their speed fluctuation..

I bet BT could do it any day you wanted, if they were the Provider. However I will never use BT again... Even if Sky are a touch more expensive, they finally resolved the issue on our line (the irony was it was a BT staff member who physically fixed it). We had previously BT out twice and got robbed twice, for work that was 'our fault' (of which on both occasions had no effect on the signal after the engineer had left the property. However, sky came out twice and called BT back twice further and a new cable (down the pole) and termination (in the cabinet) later and our internet has become stable. For over a year, we would get at least 20 drop outs per day... But when the weather was cold or wet that could multiply by a factor 40. Had to laugh at the Sky engineer who sat in the lounge and said... "In my 10yrs as a phone engineer I have never seen a connection drop out like this." The router had dropped out 70odd times in less than an hour and had only been active for a mere 3 1/2 mins. The beauty with Sky was that they called out BT and accepted responsibility for the costs, if it was indeed deemed to be a fault in our property, whereas BritishTwats just charged us £120 each time they visited blaming a 4 dodgy house phones (two were brand new in boxes) on the first visit, and a burnt out internal connection on the second time, because we hadn't unplugged the phone when there was an thunderstorm in the middle of the night the previous month.

The way things are heading in the fire service in Essex. Compulsory redundancies are becoming a very real proposition.

The way all dealerships put advertising stickers on rear windscreens that rather conveniently (for them) can't be removed without ruining the back screen heating elements. I don't think I have come across a dealership that doesn't do this

I have always insisted no stickers at all & I've always replaced the reg plates to remove their name!

The Inland Revenue. Coming round next week to make sure mr GF has been paying her staff the min wage. Which she has been for all eternity. All above board and correct. So this woman is coming round to ours to go through the books etc. Little does she know my GF will have lunch reeking of garlic and I will have a curry. Between her garlic breath and my farting and all windows closed, we don't think she will stay longer than 20 minutes. Screw you IR and your time wasting.
