Pistonheaders and their First World Problems.

[MrBarry123]

Gravel from the driveway keeps sticking to my Michelin PSS tyres. This means that because I park my car in more or less the same place at all times, the drive is beginning to develop four flat-spots where my tyres reside.

Makes me sick just looking at it.

The company I'm a shareholding in has just sold for $2.5bn leaving me a massive windfall.

I can now either:
Semi retire (well retire fully but tell the wife I'm doing a bit of consulting here and there to keep her off my back and stop her lining up mundane house jobs to get me off the sofa).

OR

Invest and take an active interest in a company that can probably do extremely well over the next 5 years making me a fair bit more coin.

The other two big decisions are what new wakeboarding boat to buy, Malibu VLX or Air Nautique 210.
And whether or not to get a Lagoon 400 Motor Yacht or just a plain Lagoon 400 S2 sailing yacht.

At a guess getting <£20 is largely down to booze! I know my monthly wine bill is more than my mortgage!

Three words for you - resin bonded gravel.

...you've only your mind thinking it's truth. I've been a shareholder in companies that sold for billions, but if you hold very little of it, it's still worth fook all in the grand scheme.

My Audi used to let me watch DVD's while the car was creeping along in traffic. In my new Lexus you have to be fully stopped with the parking brake engaged for the picture to come back on.









...Nanny state

Whichever one you think you might want to join, if any.

That way, you can use the gym for a week or so, then leave to use the other. In the meantime, the first one will be sending you special offers to get you to join, that'll only get better with time.

At least, that's how it worked for me. Still f-ing expensive though, £140/month-ish for the 2 of us.

Blimey what gym is that? A couples membership @ £140 per month, it must be very high end.

I want to get a gas barbecue, I just cannot decide between the different brands, Weber, Outback, Grillstream. It's bewildering.

[WestyCarl]

Got in my car and nearly burnt my hands on the leather steering wheel. Could I find the "cool steering wheel" button, could I fk.

Stupid lazy German Engineers only making my steering wheel with a heating function FFS. Talk about a half arsed job

gas barbecues... one step up from a hobo fire in a bin. All very... australian.

Wood-fired stone oven, smokehouse... garden kitchen... but gas BBQ?? Get the Lidl burgers on there, 200 for a quid.

Whilst opting to dine al fresco this evening I have just managed to spill balsamic glaze on my crotch.

And to compound matters my beer bottle fell over on the lawn.

What ever you do, do not attempt to light the barbeque.

I'm too hot. I've had to resort to sitting in my pants, drinking G&T to cool down as I haven't got round to installing air-con yet.
