A chicken mayo baguette from Greggs where most of the filling was on the outside of the sandwich to make it look like there was loads, but as I tried to eat it most of the chicken smothered in mayo ended up in my lap!  >:(

Being the responsible sort I had to pull over to eat it safely.  :-X  ::)  :D

I was waiting for Mrs. KW outside a clothes shop on Farnham high street on Saturday when some total soap-dodger who'd clearly been on the booze came up to me and said "Oy, mate! Where's Greggs?".

I explained that I didn't think that there was one in Farnham... ;D

It's a crock of shite.  Trying to think of something positive to say, and struggling.  I guess millennials will like it, as 2/3rds of the glovebox manual goes into depth about how to get facetwit on the screen.  But didn't mention how to turn on the mirror demisters - I had to Google that one.  And the volume control.  What pillock thought that was a good idea, hidden the wrong side of the gearstick on the gearbox tunnel.  And so ultra responsive it only allows mute and full volume.

And talk about as flat as a witches tit...

A3s are kinda like a Golf, but for those who aren't quite charismatic enough to carry off Golf ownership. ;D

We get at least two breakdown calls a week where by the driver has pulled over because there is a warning on the instrument cluster for a low washer fluid level!
I had that one come on the other day, and I nearly dismissed "bloody Jaguar sensors", but it was genuine ;D
My one gives me no trouble.. Because it's now in the bin!

Yep, this was the bit past loomies, so definitely their fault. >:(

People doing 40 in a NSL zone >:(

Wucking fankers.

Mind you, the V8 dispatches such frustrations with a lovely burble >:D
Be grateful you still have NSL areas.

Oxfordshire is infecting everywhere around here, so 50mph limits are the norm in these parts.  So every knob jockey drives at 35...

..or like my commute this evening. 50MPH limit with average speed cameras. The knob jockey in the Audi A5 in front insists on slowing down (from 50) to 40 MPH past each camera.

I mean, he's driving an Audi, so I obviously wasn't expecting much in the way of grey matter, but... ;D

As someone who works in a BMW dealership dealing with techs all day, my advice is to not do it. We will find out as the system will flag an animist for the tech to investigate and they are obliged by BMW to raise an appropriate “info only case” and a warranty marker is placed on the car. This makes any warranty claims relating to the running gear almost impossible to claim, extends the delay for anything not related to the running gear and makes it unlikely you will be able to trade it back to a dealer as they have to check for the markers as part of their due diligence.

We have had so many people try it, they all fail.

Interesting.

Yet quite a number of people will openly ECU remap their M3, M4, or M5 virtually from new. Presumably they think they are unlikely to have any engine failures.

There was a man on Carwow who took his M5 competition out to 1000 BHP. ;D

It was properly rapid. ::)

Yes, but these people are BMW drivers.  Oops! did I say that out loud? ::)

Currently boiling away...
That's never good for an AGM.  ;)

Saw an advert about how the global shipping industry is a mahoosive contribution to climate change, and that the solution is to build more energy efficient ships powered by wind or hydrogen or solar power...

Er no, how about not transporting ship loads of crap around the world to begin with. ???

Well, that's novel. ;D

Got a shiny new MOT on the Mondeo.  :y

Relief for another 12 months. :)

Really? These Mondeos have some interesting optional extras.  ;)

You are supposed to be able to split them, then bolt them back together, sealing with sikaflex or similar.

Our last machine went through 3 sets of bearings, so yes, it's pretty dismal that you can't replace them.

I wager that if/when they find it there's no one in it.

It is a pretty good cover story for a Reggie Perrin job... ;)
