Today is Pepperami’s day off day (or at least until tonight), so it could? be a out for a spin day.
However it’s raining AND I have now been strong-armed into going to the zoo with HER grandchildren Evil or Very Mad

Oh deep joy!........ never mind at least I can say hello to the tigers Thumbs Up

Original 106 Aberdeen and its endless repetitive playlist. On all day in the office because someone "just needs something on in the background".

I love going to the zoo. We have Whipsnade and Woburn near us which I think my grandkids are thoroughly fed up with as I drag them there with monotonous regularity. Laughing

Mrs Virus is a vet and enjoys spending ages looking at more exotic stuff and reading every plaque, then watching its behaviour and trying to work out its mental health and overall health.

Luckily for me I'm easily pleased by big cats, apes or reptiles Laughing

Realisation that I can't cope with the modern world. Im a dinosaur. Im now trying to work out when the wave of future shock actually broke over me. I think it may be around the same time mobile phones became normal. Around 2005.

The MZ's clutch is slipping, a lot.

After I fixed the oil leaks, put new throttle assembly on, new bearings all around, rebuilt the rear suspension, fixed the stuck choke........ I went for a ride and the clutch plates are probably fecked. Thumbs Down

Cable adjustment doesn't help, so yay me. Instead of riding the bike I'm going to be taking it apart again.

I was sitting in a foodie pub by my marina yesterday and was amazed at how many people were paying by phone rather than card. It must have been at least half.

I have just about got my head around contactless Embarassed

I presume with a phone you can choose what card you pay with meaning you don't have to carry credit cards anymore?

Wifie (again) Brick Wall

- Can you check when my MOT expires dear.

- OK, ............WTF MOT expired on 7 June 2017

Oh did it? Why didn't you tell me. Can you book it in next week and take it for me, I'll use your car until then.

9 months driving it around untaxed and calm as a cucumber. Blames me for not telling her when it expired and is going to steal my car until hers is MOT'd.

I think I'll be killing her instead of the pikey in my carpet stain thread.

In my experience they have similar attitudes to

Cleaning the car.
Knowing what all the warning lights mean.
Adding fuel to the thing.
Booking any kind of work needing doing.
Buying any parts.
Checking fluid levels and tyre condition/pressure, like ever.
Anything that may potentially end with some dirt or grime on their hands

It's that selective feminism at work again, wants to do the fun bit driving it but fuck the rest of it off to a bloke to do.

My THIRD puncture - rear tyre CBF500... as this time it's a metal strip in my tyre I'm writing off the tyre, only done 4K on it.... Brick Wall

However I managed to complete my work for the day and I will replace the tyre with a PR4 so it's not so bad.....

Cleaning the car.
How hard is that? My local automatic carwash takes exactly one chocolate brownie, one Ginger and Honey Yoghurt and 3 watermelon/mango/pineapple fingers (assorted) to get through the whole carwash cycle. Obvs I can't eat in the hand-car-wash cos I have to get out and ponce about with my heels on for the chaps cleaning my car*.

Knowing what all the warning lights mean.
Yes, what is that funny uterus-looking one?

I'd quite like to know how to turn off my side lights whilst you're about it. 18 months in these damn Priuses and I still haven't bothered to worked it out.

Adding fuel to the thing.
I can do this. I am strong, I am invincible, etc.

Booking any kind of work needing doing.
Okay, believe it or not: if a bird calls the garage and say "My car makes a funny noise that sounds like wibblepop" - they will charge us 30% more than if a bloke rang and said the same thing. Therefore, pointless us doing it; think of it more as saving yourself 30% on the price by calling for us. Financial wizardry and general manliness points abound.

Buying any parts.
Lets go Dutch: you send me a link to the part I need and I'll buy it, if you promise to put it on for me.

Checking fluid levels and tyre condition/pressure, like ever.

Anything that may potentially end with some dirt or grime on their hands
Reason for this is : They Chinesey ladies would tut under their little Oriental breaths if you came in with hands that looked as though they have actually grafted.



*Actually what I have to do is put my tip in their politely-labelled Box ("Tips thank you") and record my details on their sheet so they can send it back to Mr Addison and Mr Lee and claim their Brucey Bonus. Dishing out flirty red-lipstick grins and prancing about in the puddles with one's heels on isn't actually mandatory, its just the weekly equivalent of giving them a box of biscuits at Christmas.

Oh yes they do.

I had to ride home* from the nail bar once, without gloves, because there was an audible intake of breath when I went to put my gloves on over the recently-finished nails.


*an entire distance of possibly a mile

Brick Wall Yes, you guessed it - wifie again.

Grovelled to the garage and got her car in for an MOT at noon today so she dropped it off after her morning run and left my phone number.

So Leo calls (yes, I'm on first term names with all the garage staff Rolling Eyes )

I'm sorry Sir its failed.

OK, what on?

Discs. The rear ones were metal to metal and are totally unsafe, the front ones are an advisory Sir, but if you would like to come and inspect them and decide.

So off I toddle and yes the rear ones were gash and the front ones not much better so how much for the lot. She must have had the radio up really loud not to hear the grinding. Shocked

£520 for 4 discs, 2 new wheel bearings and 4 sets of pads. Crying or Very sad

Wifies response - I haven't got any money this month, will you pay and I'll pay you back. Rolling Eyes

Yeah right, thats the last I've seen of £500. I wish I'd left the stain in the fcukin carpet now Evil or Very Mad
