Now why didn't I think of that?  Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing... |

Had a lovely morning out in the sunshine today....Then started working on the Landy, and everything that could have possibly gone wrong went wrong
And on such a hot day I've sweated buckets all afternoon

... and dogs. My sons keep leaving the door open and they keep getting onto the building site next door and hiding out there. It's a bit embarrassing asking the plasterers if they've seen them  Tell someone you love them today because life is short.

Well they still haven't managed to sort the issue that prompted my post and not addressed the official complaint I filed some days ago either.  Steve.

Had the Disco4 alarm going off at 2:30am this morning. Went downstairs, got keys, reset alarm and went back to bed. Not 2 minutes later was it going off again
Go down again, go out to the car this time, and there's a moth flying round inside setting the alarm off. Got it out, and then the damn thing wouldn't lock
10 minutes reading the handbook at 2:40am in a dressing gown hasn't done much for my street-cred! The problem? I'd left one of the doors open slightly  An engine to TDi for!

Just finished putting my rather agricultural rock sliders on and noticed my front mudflap is just hanging on, it's cracked all across just under the fixing point. No problem, or so I thought, as I went straight to the parts department in my garage(reality is that pile of stuff over in that corner). I put my hands on the new one I had bought a couple of years ago, one of a pair that turned out to be two of the same side!
That one was cracked as well! The damn thing hasn't even seen my motor let alone gone out of my garage into direct sunlight! Where was it from? You guessed it..........Britpart! Looks like their parts are programmed to fall apart after their two year warranty whether you fit them or not! Going to have a hunt round for some conveyor belting, I'm sure I've seen some somewhere on my travels. |

You have got to hand it to Britpart they certainly are masters of built in obsolescence. The only thing I can say is that being Britpart you were lucky for it to last two years whether fitted or not. |

Some of the neighbours around here. (Must emphasise some) spend their weekdays swanning around in the sun with kids every day.
Not a stroke of work done at all nor any intention of! And that is coupled with the fact they aren't on holiday, they just don't work at all. |
