Sorry to hear that buddy, been there recently myself and it isn't nice at all.
Looks like I'm in!
Welcome Liam. You'll fit in well have you been transferred here?Looks like I'm in!
Anyway to bring to up to date, it's our duty to get out of here so there's the tunnel I mentioned and also a glider. So if you can either dig or fabricate a fuselage out of toilet rolls you'll be very welcome.
Ps Iva will cheer up after a bit of dancing, we sneaked a gramophone off one of the guards so if you wouldn't mind donning a bit of lipstick he's in the west tower. We'll provide a cork just in case he gets up to his old tricks.
kin Pelican yet? I think we should send it down that tunneL, Then rebuild Bob the Boulder and block it off!V6Pushfit said:
Buenas Dias chaps
Vittie just tell everyone who'll listen to sod off. Leave it a couple of days and then make life friends with anyone who is not offended. You have to be your own man you can't be pushed around and dictated to by everyone or there'll nothing of Vittie left.
I know mate, its one of the mistakes i made with the ex, let her dictate too much for me, so in the end i wasnt running my own life save for a few small details here and there. Im sticking to my own pace with the new girl, and she understands and respects that, she just gets a bit "passionate" (Vittie just tell everyone who'll listen to sod off.

My ex used to do this.
she couldnt understand why I wouldnt drop everything to go sort out her problems.
She never quite got the idea that her problems are her problems not my problems. It did bite me in the arse though when she decided that she would rather move back to her mums 250 miles away than cope on her own
Aye, i do understand the annoyance, and if i were a less balanced bloke myself, the ex would piss me off greatly with her behaviour, but ive learned not to let people push me into feeling bad with insignificant tosh. In fact, the car ramblings the ex sometimes sees fit to bestow upon me are more entertainment then anything, as i in no way, shape or form feel responsible for helping her out. (she had the cambelt down on her focus last month, as she was terrified it might snap, being well overdue. The shop proceeded to hand the job to an apprentice, who promptly screwed it up and had valves meet pistons, resulting in a full head re-build she couldnt understand why I wouldnt drop everything to go sort out her problems.

)Im pushing the boundary out, and ill get to a healthy point there, it just causes some frustration sometimes, which is to be expected.
Anyway, on to more entertaining stories. Last night i had my first car breakdown. After work i took the bus to the GF, and from there we would take her car to her family for saint nic's (dec 5th is when us dutchies do gift giving rather then christmas). Her car (a ratty little 1.0 polo 6n) managed to make it a good 7-8 miles before suddenly losing all power on the motorway. We managed to coast to an upcoming exit and made it all the way to a parking bay in front of the burger king at the services.
We hadnt eaten yet, so while rescue was on the way we had a burger and fries. Upon rescue arriving we found out that a) the screw in tow-loop on the lowly polo was nowhere to be found and b) the tow rope the rescue party had brought wasnt fit to tow a pram.. cue new tow rope attached to suspension arm, followed by a tow to my place, some of it on the motorway
Upon arrival at my place the battery in the polo was utterly dead, so we decided to leave it there rather then continue the night time tow to her family (her dad has a pretty nice workshop, so would be the best place for fixing), switched to my car and ended up there only a few hours later then planned
Prognosis is either ignition or fuel, as it cranks over dutifully, it just doesnt fire.

To be fair he cheered up enormously during Mrs Brassington's naturist blackberrying phase. This was before she discovered the exquisite pleasures of joyriding the sails of the windmill, of course. Perhaps we should alert her to winter hedgerow foraging. For iva's sake.ambuletz said:
I'm gobsmacked, on thursday I sent off my stuff for a passport renewal and it arrives TODAY! That's a day slower then it took me to get a new driving license a couple of years ago when I lost it.
They can be quite quick. I applied for my first one ever and after the interview it arrived 3 days later.
