Tire puncture. Shredded tire. No tire in stock matching the set. Order from Bangkok. Long weekend. Long weekend no car.

^ what have you got an AC Aceca

[misskit]

Nothing exotic like that. It is a Honda HRV that comes with a puncture kit in an aerosol can and no spare tire.

[malmomike77]

^ unlucky, i'd have thought there were enough HRVs around to find replacement tyres - what a pain. You'll have to practice your martini and olive stuffing techniques instead

The woes of inflation

With AQI hunker down enjoy a Martini , after the second cocktail TD seems better

[misskit]

^^ Top idea, there.

I've probably moaned about this before but why is that every time there is a day off people feel the need to stock up for a freaking year?

I have just returned from my weekly shopping trip. The usual store was so full there were no trolleys left so I went to another, which was being restocked because it had been emptied by shoppers yesterday.

It's one day off, a Monday so nothing to fret about. A normal weekly shop is all that's necessary, no need to turn into skiddy.

Makes me miss Thailand when I see this stupidity.

Chitty panic buys and hoards like a vexed grandma too.

[OhOh]

people feel the need to stock up for a freaking year?

Possibly guests are visiting hence more mouths to feed with more meals/traditional offerings?

I can remember as a child 3 or 4 families spending Christmas eve through Boxing day at Grandma's hampshire house.

Some may stay overnight and SWMBO decides newer bedding/pyjamas are necessary.

^ Yes, many people get together at Christmas but May bank holiday? No this is when everyone decides to jam up the roads!

I thought Chinkie Restos were open then, busy time.

Don't worry yourself and get all vexed up Ciz.

The Changster cupboards and fridge freezer are busting like Dillingers belt buckle.

BTW you stuck your head out of the window for a lung full of fresh air yet?

Other folks having the same idea as you to do a bit of shopping ?


Moan and whine

No stiff upper lip ?

Which storybook did you read that in . . . plus Troy was talking about May Day.

I'm not sure which posts annoy me more; the cut and paste Chinese propaganda crap from Global Times aka Fox News Chinese version or his. Fake attempts at pretending he grew up as English as Jimmy Anderson and is just 'one of the lads'.

[Mandaloopy]

The amount of junk I have accumulated over 5 years is making packing the apartment up a real chore

oh I know that feeling!

[OhOh]

but May bank holiday?

Any warm three day plus breaks were prime times for families to meet up, beaches, forests anniversaries, ....

My UK families continue the tradition physically, and on line, to keep in touch.

One of my nephews just recently was a contestant in a charity boxing match. The world wide, every continent except OZ, Arctic and Antarctica, WhatsApp thread was buzzing before, during and after. Texts, images and videos. He lost the match but was cheered by the crowd and his family for his after match speech.

And he's not even good at it . . .

it's the start of Emmet and grockle-box season and has been for yonks you silly bugger.

[OhOh]

^ No need for a BH for UK M62 motorway, it"s a daily occurrence.

[Joe 90]

Just the mere suggestion of the M62 brings me out in a cold sweat.

[dirk diggler]

Tattoos suck with a hangover.

[Joe 90]

Could have been worst.





You could have got the tattoo pissed up and woke up with a hangover and some random persons name tattoed on your arse.

My daily moan is not quite as permanent.

Got carried away in a retro arcade playing boxing on the wii.

Yeah I won, but I fear I have tenors elbow now.

Jaysus, the chitdrivel was flowing last night.
