General Car Chat / Re: So what have you done to your car today?

« on: 30 March 2024, 17:57:59 »

Put in a puddle that was a lot longer and a lot deeper than I anticipated , no harm done :0

Then followed some tosser on the M40 for 15 miles who wouldn't move from the inside lane.  Out of principle I refused undertake, though many others did.  Knobjockey.  Merc ragtop, so to be expected in these parts.

Driving back from Newmarket on A14 this afternoon and there was a car hogging the outside lane. Nothing in front or beside him/her. They almost shit themselves when a Jag roared up behind them and blasted his horn.

If I have fibre installed, they'll have to dig under my garden wall, through a flower bed, dig a trench across the drive and through another flower bed to the house. 

Had they put the connection point a meter up the pavement they could have gone through the gateway avoiding the wall and flower bed. 

Frickin jackasses! 

Since when have the utility companies ever used logic when laying pipes/cables etc.?

It was crewed by the cast of the Navy Lark (now that dates me) , Approaching harbour wall now sir (bang). Steady as you go and left hand down a bit.

Full ahead upwards.  Used to like Round the Horne too.

Seemingly the asylum seekers lawyers tell them that converting gives them a better chance of it being granted.

This thread is far too sensible. 

Where are the conspiracy theories?  It was ISIS, Putin, Trump, Aliens etc that wot done it etc?     

Was reading that a presenter on Fox News was blaming Biden's immigration policies.

I take there was a pilot navigating it out of the port. Not a very good one if there was.

General Car Chat / Re: Insurance renewal .

« on: 25 March 2024, 18:32:04 »

There are certain insurance companies that are refusing to insure anyone over 70 now. Or quoting such a ridiculously high price that they know won't be accepted.

My Dad is 87 next, rand LV today for a quote & they have refused to insure him. Not sure who he's insured with at the moment, but they've quoted him £1720 for his Chrysler Grande Voyager! 

I'm 80 in December so can't wait for my next quote.

Come on, common as now. Even my Yeti has Zenon's that turn when you steer and at slow speed puts the spot light on to light kerb at a junction.

Is that why i get dazzled by modern cars when they're coming towards me?

Had a Mazda 626 years ago. The petrol filler tube that went down through the rear wheel arch rusted through. The tank was slowly letting in water, so misfiring was happening more and more as the water level in the tank rose. Just a thought for your problem.

Forgot to put my garden bin out last night. 

Now I have to waste a few hours bagging the contents and taking it to the tip. 

Despite having to pay council tax of over £1600 pa ( which to me only covers having the bins emptied) we now have to pay extra (cant remember how much - circa £75 pa) to have our garden waste bin emptied.

Yep we pay an extra £69.50 a year for the garden bin.   

Same here.
