I ate too much dinner.

I forced myself to finish it.

iva does NOT leave food on his plate,especially pasta.

I've got the same again tomorrow as it's a 2 man jar.

Wasp sting from a few pages back is now infected.

F**k wasps, how do I fix it?

[DickyC]

A rolled up newspaper usually does for them.

Don't know why I watch Crimewatch.

Disturbing.

[SWTH]

Special thanks today to the arse that reversed into my wife's car. I asked him to move forward to inspect any damage (some very minimal scratches, certainly nothing to worry about on a heavily stonechipped bumper), decided to just forget it and said as much to him. All I got in return was a grunted 'ok', as he jumped in his car and left. No apology, not even 'thanks' for letting him off with it.

Fairly typical of the don't care attitude that prevails nowadays....

[SpeedMattersNot]

Have old people forgotten how to care too?

An old lady once reversed into a mint condition Supra on our forecourt (a customers car in for an MOT) and I ran after her. She was doing that thing a lot of elderly drivers do, revving this st out of the engine with perhaps 1% clutch pressure engaged barely moving forward and so catching her was easy.

Me: "...You just hit that car!!!...

Old lady: "...but I didn't hit it hard...

Sigh.

In other news, I'm playing Pokémon Heart Gold.

Here's another from about 1989.

I caught a bloke reverse into my RS2000 front end.

I had just spent the weekend polishing the car,it was mint.

I was almost in tears.

He accused me of all sorts trying to wriggle out of responsibility for it.

He was probably as old as I am now.

Morning people.
Cloudy and a tad rainy out there, where has the summer gone?

[Fishtigua]

Sunny and warm today, unlike yesterday.

[DickyC]

I came in earlier but forgot to write anything.

[DickyC]

Michael Palin is going to run for FIFA President? Did I read that right?

[drivin_me_nuts]

Morning all.

there is a run on bacon butties in the mess this morning. Rumours are that an operation stack type affair needs to be up and running soon. Would TT lorry drivers park their trucks in an orderly queue... And not in front of the perimeter bungalows bedroom windows..

Guten Morgen

[drivin_me_nuts]

Good morning adenauer. Odd question perhaps.. do any of the races at the ring ever run backwards?

Morning dmn.

Just the one, it's a special stage of the Köln-Ahrweiler Rallye held once a year.

Interesting to watch.

Why do you ask?

[DickyC]

The engine on the MG Metro I had from new used to run backwards. I would turn it off, it would run on by dieseling, shudder to a stop and then fairly often start running backwards. I got into the habit of leaving it in gear when I turned it off and gently engaging the clutch to make it stop.

Things like that could ruin a company's reputation.

[Adenauer]

I'm really quite concerned about Mr Roper.

He had the chance to visit the Kennedy Space Centre and went shopping instead.
