I lost my hands-free thingie at City Airport Crying or Very sad

I'm always forgetting it's in my ear (but with the phone attached to the dashboard), and then jumping out to help passengers in or out of the car - and everything goes flying Rolling Eyes

This time, my hands-free kit was hanging out my pocket and fell on the ground. Bah humbug.

What are your suggestions? I tried a new shower head said to make the most of low pressure but as expected it was no better. As a (private) tenant I should just accept it, I guess. Wink

The month of May:

-Car written off...
Insurance complications and nonsense regarding said car!

-Spending unplanned hard earned on new car...
Said car's wheel arch coming off at 70 & sending it back to dealer with
the engine light illuminated...

-Today, DROPPING MY NEW BIKE!

EDIT: don't forget almost potatoing my rear brake caliper.

My gears still get ground by that annoying thing where people (mostly women) turn every phrase into a question, where the tone in voice rises at the end of a sentence. Seems to me it's an Australian thing, but at least they have the excuse of being down under, so I suppose the voice has a tendency to rise to the top Thinking Confused

It always makes me think the culprits don't trust their own convictions in what they are saying, and are generally of weak character.

Its called "Australian upward inflection". There's a reason we sent the moaning twats to the other side of the planet.

I feel that giving it an official name will only encourage it Hand

They did, thirty years ago after the cringing whining colonials started exporting their tatty telly shows over here and someone noticed it. The only solution is to start operating Australia on the basis it was originally used for.

Exhaust bracket came loose on the A5 yesterday afternoon, started roadside repair and managed to snap the end strap supporting it. Rolling Eyes

Ordered new ones but at the minute riding around supported by gorilla tape. doh

Update:

as expected, the gorilla tape melted by the end of the journey to work. So I've replaced it with a new metal £6 exhaust repair bracket from Halfrauds.

Just waiting for the proper Suzuki one to arrive now. Whistle

Twat filtering in front of me this evening. Weaving about like every car was magnetised and shaking his head at every car that didn't crawl onto the verge to give him the amount of space he deserved.

More likely they don't approve of filtering as it's obviously dangerous... Laughing Brick Wall
