Oh Feck

[Lilmiss]

My car died today. :crying:


It started spluttering and steaming on a main road.
My damn radiator has blown, and my battery is flat.

Had to tow her home, which was a scary experience.



Anyone wanna take a guess at how much this is gonna cost me?
Won't find out til the moro though. :unsure:

[Mr. Mulder]

50p? :unsure:

[Guillaume]

If Uk mechanics are even remotely like French ones, I'd say about 50% more than the real price. ;)

[(>Zero Cool<)]

Anyone wanna take a guess at how much this is gonna cost me?
Won't find out til the moro though. :unsure:


Lets put it this way I wouldn't be making any unneccessary purchases between now and tomorrow, bar perhaps a lottery ticket :no:

sorry bout the car, is this the return of pook pook ? :unsure:

[manker]

I thought it was indestructible :crying:

My mates old fiesta broke down on the motorway a week or so ago, it cost £105 to join the RAC (so the tow was free) and £85 to fix this little pipe that had split.

If you need a new radiator that'll cost another £100ish for parts and labour.




Mind, as you can probably tell, I know feck all about motors ... so the above is probably not that indicative.

[Lilmiss]

I know a guy, who knows a bloke... :shifty:
I'm guessing it'll cost roughly one hundred pound.

And about a tenner for a new battery.

Then it's about £60 to tax her, that needs done before Feb.

And a conversion for the engine, to go from leaded to unleaded.
That should be about £40.


:unsure:

Send me all your money!!! :ermm:

[(>Zero Cool<)]

And about a tenner for a new battery.




duracell or ever ready? :unsure:

[Lilmiss]

Haha.
If only cars were that simple. :unsure:

Right now, I'm getting ready to walk to the shops. :ermm:

[manker]

The missus' Dad has got this thing that makes batteries work after they stop working, like magic it is.

Maybe there are more than one of these gadgets :unsure:

[(>Zero Cool<)]

:ohmy:

The horror :crying:




p.s. do they not deliver? :rolleyes:

[Lilmiss]

I guess I could wait for a chicken to stroll past my house.
Or just have Sweet and Sour...nothing.


My Grandpops has a battery charger.
But I don't want him touching my car ever, ever again.
(He has a habit of losing vital clips and bolts.)

:lol: :P

[Robert00000]

I think you should choose to be environmentaly friendly and buy a bike. I would have bought one myself but its too damn cold :ph34r:

[DanB]

Oh feck thats not good :frusty:

If its any consolation to you I have just found out that I have to do 8am - 4pm every other week :dry:

[vidcc]

The missus' Dad has got this thing that makes batteries work after they stop working, like magic it is.

I thought all you had to do was take them out or roll them ....hey presto the remote control works for 3 more days

[manker]

A bit behind the times, vid? I've got one of those neural interfaces for my TV now, I just have to think about what channel I want and it turns over automatically.

The downside is that I forgot to turn it off before I went to bed last night and by the morning had subscribed to six porn channels :(

[vidcc]

just 6 :unsure: are you feeling under the weather?

[DanB]

you feeling under the weather?

Under the covers more like :pinch:

[manker]

:lol: Dan

I just don't have as many hawt dreams anymore :(

[Lilmiss]

Heh heh, I'm not at work. :P

:shifty:

[Guillaume]

So it was all an excuse? :shifty:

[DanB]

Heh heh, I'm not at work. :P

:shifty:

I guess it has its plus points then :whistling

[Lilmiss]

:D It's the first time I've taken a night off the pub.

Although, I should be working as much as poss considering how much this is gonna cost me. It also means that I can't go clubbing this weekend. :dry:

[DanB]

Bah, you'll have to put the dancing shoes back in the cupboard :lol:

[Guillaume]

It also means that I can't go clubbing this weekend. :dry:


So, you're stuck with us. Muhahahaha!

[Snee]

A bit off topic, but why was I banxcored this time?@ppl who can see moderation posts.

Also, watch it when dan speaks of cupboards.

theres a thread in team chat

[Lilmiss]

It looks that way.
Is this some kinda lounge conspiracy? :unsure:

[Biggles]

Are you sure it is your radiator and not either the top or bottom hose? If it is a small leak in the radiator, a can of radweld might do the trick for a few months :)

Batteries are lifed items especially in our climate - if you get 5 years out of them you are doing ok.

Cars are a pain the arse when they don't work.

[DanB]

:whistling:

[Guillaume]

Yeah.

The hardwareworld guys were too busy masturbcomparing their puters, so we kinda missed the cable we were aiming for... :blushing:

[Snee]

Really? Too bad there's a big fecking padlock in the way now, then. :blink:

[Lilmiss]

Are you sure it is your radiator and not either the top or bottom hose?

I'm not totally sure.
When I filled up the radiator, the water poured straight out the bottom.
I'm not an expert with cars, but I can safely say she is knackered.


On the plus side, Bo just told me he is coming down 'ere to go to a gig with me next week. Wahoo. :D :w00t: :unsure:

Say hi to Bo from us all (or eejit if you prefer :) )

Check the large hose that goes from the bottom of the radiator to the engine block. If it is dripping water when you fill from the top it is gubbed. These are easy to replace (just a screwdriver, the two jubilee clips holding the old hose on and a new hose are all that is involved)

If that is all it is, remember to fill up with antifreeze as well as water after the hose is replaced otherwise things will not go well for you the next time it is cold. :no:

[manker]

Really? Too bad there's a big fecking padlock in the way now, then. :blink:I'm locked out too.

To paraphrase David Hasselhoff, this is shit.

[Lilmiss]

Say hi to Bo from us all (or eejit if you prefer :)


:D I may force him in here while I'm getting my stuff together. ;)


About the car, I have a pal who works part time in a garage, so he is gonna come and have a look at her tomorrow for me. He will probably just charge me for parts, so it's not that bad. And me Ma is gonna pick me up tomorrow, and cook me dinner. :w00t:

[Biggles]

Yo! for Bo :01:

Good luck with the mini - hope it is just the hose. At least the parts are not too brutal for the little gems.

[manker]

Say hello to Bo from me too, but make it sound like I wasn't bothered ... the mackem cawk :D

What are you going to see?

[Lilmiss]

I hope it can be fixed at the garage.
I don't know where the nearest Rover/Mini garage is from here.
Poor lil thing deserves a rest, I guess.


I'm going to see Lars Frederiksen and the Bastards, Roger Miret and the Disasters are supporting them. :w00t: :01:

[Biggles]

Lilmiss I note a new addition to your sig. I mentioned it to SGG and she :w00t: ed a lot. She has these charming little comics lying around the place. :ph34r:

[Lilmiss]

I found this one for her.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v627/missie77/Sgg.jpg

Isn't she cute? :D

:lol:

Turn the hair black and it is a dead ringer. Stripey socks are her thing.

Although that is her evening look - she has done a little drawing of her morning look which I think she plans to put on here, which is scarier. (I avoid where possible talking in the morning :ph34r: )

[Lilmiss]

I have my long stripey socks on today.
I used to call me Ma "Grotbags" when she wore hers. :unsure:


I'm not much of a morning person either, maybe its a girl thing.

Can't do anything before my fag and cuppa.
God bless our lil addictions. :ph34r:


Can't wait to see SGG's new drawings.
She really has a special talent, amazing. :wub:

Or in her case spending half an hour in the bathroom with eye makeup stuff whilst her brother and I hop around yelling "we are going to be late" in increasing levels of frustration. :dry:

[Lilmiss]

:lol:

Maybe it's time to invest in an extra bathroom.
Don't want her poking her eye out, while trying to rush for you guys.

Or perhaps an extra mirror would do the job.

[Biggles]

:lol:

An extra bathroom would be cool. I could do with a bigger house really. A bit of a pain this starting again lark when you are older :shifty: actually it was quite good fun.

The place is awash with mirrors. Her stuffed is scattered all around the place - she has to be one of the untidiest creatures ever - although her Mum is impressive in this department SGG pwns (as is wont to be said here).

[manker]

SGG pwnsI think you've just become an adolescent chimpanzee :(

That's all it takes, apparently.

[Lilmiss]

You'll miss all the untidiness when she moves out.
I think me Ma calls it "Melix". :huh:


My Pa used to follow me around the house with a broom, sweeping up my toast crumbs and spare change. I like to think I gave him something constructive to do with his time. :shifty:

[Biggles]

:dry: I wish

I suspect there was serious umbrage at being outside the craic displayed there. :lol:

Lilmiss - :dry: yeah I get the "you love tidying anyway" stuff - in fact double :dry:

They are both at their Mum's tonight - it is strangely quiet. Although I am going to go and listen to some music, drink some nice green tea, and read my new Xmas Pratchet.


But yeah, I think it might be a bit pants if that was everynight.

[Lilmiss]

Heh heh. :D

I was just about to go and finish the last part of my book in the bath.
Always a bad idea, but I do it anyway.

I once dropped the whole of, "To kill a mockingbird", along with all my side-notes into the bath. The word "fuming" springs to mind.

Never really got into the Pratchet books, but always loved the Death character.


Well, t'is bath time.

Enjoy your peace n quiet. ;)

[Biggles]

:lol: :blushing: I have done that too. Isn't it amazing how the book becomes twice the size even when dry. (It was a borrowed book - had to go and buy a replacement :ermm: ) I kept the hideous bloated version for a bit then binned it.

Enjoy your bath - they are only good if they are long enough to wrinkle in.

[Voetsek]

what's all this shouting?

[Lilmiss]

they are only good if they are long enough to wrinkle in.

So how would you judge a good bath? :whistling

:dry:

Tsk tsk Lilmiss. I am sure I don't know what you are alluding to.

Bath's should be relaxing ... at least at some point.

:whistling


How did the car go?

[SpatulaGeekGirl]

Can't wait to see SGG's new drawings.
She really has a special talent, amazing. :wub:

Here's the picture, tis just a doodle. :ermm:

http://img166.exs.cx/img166/3113/Itsawake.jpg

Guess what, I just learnt I have anemia :w00t: ...now where can I get a pale smilie with bags under it's eyes? :unsure:

[Lilmiss]

:lol: :lol: :lol:


It's brilliant!
I shall have a go at drawing myself tomorrow, but it will be nowhere as good as that. I think she would make a good av for you. :D

Sorry to hear about the anemia, that's not good. :no:
I couldn't find you a smiley, so I adapted a Scary Miss Mary (http://www.attitude.uk.com/catalog.asp?brand=scary&menu=STRE&page=1) top for you. ;)

Biggles, would you believe that the guy who was coming to fix the car, got a flat battery and a broken alternator today. Pah. :dry:

[DanB]

That doesn't bode too well :huh:

[Lilmiss]

The worstest part is my manager hasn't been in work to sign my wage check.
She's really ill, has to go for another endoscopy then wait for more results.
I can't get my car fixed, till I get wages, I guess.
And I can't visit her without my car.


(me ma is me manager. :crying: )

[DanB]

Oh no, that doesn't sound good. :(


She going to be alright? :unsure:

[Lilmiss]

Tinger's x'd. ;) :unsure: :crying:


She has taken on far too much lately and hasn't fully recovered from when they took her fallopian tubes away. Plus, she doesn't eat properly as she is so stressed about keeping money coming in to the building. In her spare time she studies for essential courses to run the damn place. I admire her, but she is a stubborn ole goat sometimes.

I'm thinking, when I train up my co-assistant up, I may leave to ease matters. He is paid by a different co, so it would help a lot, I guess. :crying:

[DanB]

I'll keep my fingers crossed too :D

Hmm, that doesn't sound like a very good plan to me

[Lilmiss]

Hmmm.....she will be fine.
She's a fighter. :01:


And it may not sound like a good plan now, but I need a kick up my arse onto other things. Fed up of transport and beer.......Well, transport anyway. :shifty:


God damnit, Man utd are the shittiest football team in the world.
I'm not impressed. :dry:

[Biggles]

Sorry about your Mum. :(


I think the old quote "physcian heal thyself" might apply to your mechanic.


SGG really looks like that in the morning by the way. :shifty:

[Lilmiss]

Tanks, if she gets any worse I will steal a bus from work to see her. :shifty:


I love SGG's drawing, although I must add I'm slightly worried about those claws.
You better remind her not to pick her nose. :unsure:

It's her brother's throat I am most concerned about. :ermm:

[Lilmiss]

Lil brothers were sent to try us.

I gain enjoyment from trapping my brothers fingers in huge oak doors, and he likes punching my arm til it goes dead.
He has never really forgiven me for eating his Buttons mousse.


One day I shall suffer for my actions. :unsure:

[DarthInsinuate]

It's her brother's throat I am most concerned about. :ermm:
is it swelling up like in that episode of The X-Files :ermm: ?

[Biggles]

I must have missed that episode. :ermm:


Tis big brother, but she is feisty and he is cautious.

[Lilmiss]

:D


I guess looking like wolverine in the morning helps her in alsorts of bathroom fights.

[Lilmiss]

Just found a fantastic feck, ahem, animation.

Be warned.... :ermm:



Fuck - A special word (http://www.holylemon.com/funny-animations/fuck.html)


:D

[Biggles]

:lol:

A Monty Python classic.


Now go and see your Gran and let her hear it. :shifty:

[Lilmiss]

:no: I'd get the paddle.


Lookie this one.

I'm hunting for clips when I should be cleaning n stuff.
Hoorah for the weekend. :wahay:



My car still isn't back, this is looking grim. :unsure:

:01: Go the weekend!

The sun is shining and I have coffee and a dough-nut. I was in Fopp yesterday and bought the Waterboys' first two, Small Faces "Ogden" and Sumday by Grandaddy. It doesn't get a lot better than this. :cool:

Hope the non-appearance of the car is not ominous. So hard to tell with garages. They operate on a different temporal plane from the rest of humanity (well Sky engineers are actually worse)

[Lilmiss]

Hmm, it's cloudy and overcast here, I don't like coffee and Grandaddy is too depressing.

But if you have a spare doughnut.... :w00t: :whistling



I bought meself 3 more Lemony Snickett books yesterday.
I shall make a start on them soon, before I have more thoughts of bleaching the kitchen floor.

Bleaching the floor sounds nasty. Did you use the rusty hammer then? :devil:

I was mocked for not knowing that Lemony Snickett was the name of the author. I mean who calls someone Lemony for Pete's sake?

[Lilmiss]

:D He must have been a strange looking child to deserve that name.
Bet his sister, Peaches, laughs at him constantly. :P


No, no hammer usage today.
But every time I am reminded of him, I feel the urge to kick something hard. :ermm:
