WAMT....what annoyed me today!

24 hours for a safety related callout is unacceptable IMO.
 
Sorry to hear that, Mr B. Hope the quack manages to at least sort the pain and not FU your other meds.

I have a sneaky suspicion that the fireworks going off around here in the streets and peoples bins has nothing to do with Diwali

You must have missed that it is the "festivalofthelittlebastard" this unique part of english culture runs sollidly from early october to late september and is traditional celebrated by letting off fireworks in the street whilst drinking heavily, smooking heavenly herbs and substances and adorning local shops and walls with symbols of religuos significance to the great lord boz (hence boz woz ere - though as multiplthesist religion littlebastardism allows the venerating of many other named dieties) ... holy days of the festival are also marked by burning cars in the streets and the presence of many flashing blue lights

Ta! A cocktail of dihyrocodeine and a Voltarol suppository (ouch!!!!) has taken the edge off it but looks like hospital op might be sped up a bit. Really didn't want that before Xmas but I'll do as I'm told:)

Those Voltarol things taste 'orrible and for all the good they do you, you might as well shove 'em up yer ... "Good evening, Vicar. How's your imaginary friend?"

Hospital op? I'm guessing I've missed something, I hope it's not too serious?
You better do as you're told...
 
Typical!

The guy turns up to fix my door except the door decided to behave itself the whole time he was here
 
I think I damaged my tail on Saturday by falling on it like a sack of spuds (wet wooden steps). It feels like I've got a TV remote down the back of my belt and it's very hurty. :mad:
 
In the space of 60 seconds I went from free frames to expensive designer ones, I'm sure the sales girl was more interested in her commission than listening to what I wanted

Err...did you ultimately say yes to the frames.
To be fair the choice was yours.
 
Sidelights or no lights.

Sidelights are ok if they are large enough to be seen. It's those pesky silly little side lights that are barely noticeable that cars had years ago but some Japanese makes seem to still insist on fitting.
 
Fitted a new oil feed pipe to a turbo on a development engine at work yesterday. The department who supplied it had only done up a fitting on it, finger tight, Good enough to hold the fitting in tight so it wouldn't move, but not tight enough to withstand around 400kPa of oil pressure as the engine reaches 5000rpm and full throttle. Result about 2 litres of oil sprayed all over the floor, but the safety limits shut the engine down almost straight away. Engine's still a good'un though, no harm done, even the turbo seems fine .
 
The A38 sure as hell wasn't an appropriately road!
 
The only reason for side light imo is when you're parked to save battery or when you stop in a lane to give way to somebody then they can see past you. Other than that if you need lights why would you chose inferior ones?
 
No. IMO, sidelights should only be used as markers when parked, not on moving vehicles. If you can be arsed to switch sides on, go the extra click and be seen properly! FWIW, the weather down here yesterday was bad enough to make headlights necessary all day.
 
Noticing burn marks from straighteners in my daughters room on the brand new bloody carpet!! :mad::mad::mad:

To be fair she really doesn't give me any trouble, she doesn't go out, doesn't give me any attitude, she has a lovely funny personality and makes it really hard to tell her off
 
WAMT is the use of the wrong homophones. Not on here (where it as often amuses me as annoys) but in a magazine whose staff and proof readers should know better. A writer on a car magazine should know that it's brakes not breaks that slow a car and that a trophy doesn't allude a team principle... (Only about half way through so far and those are the 3 I can remember clearly.) I can only guess that the publishers no longer employ human proof readers and rely on spell checkers.

Yaws in Diss cussed...

I'm not sure if that makes you Homophobic or not? :thinking:
:D

Anyhow, give it a wrest, spell chequers are the way four wards
:p
 
Inn deed.

Oddly (or perhaps not!), I was wondering what the correct appellation for one who hates incorrect homophones would be. One who hates the correct ones would be a homophonophobe but FIIK what I would be!
