Makes my blood boil
Discussion
A chap in the office asked me today how my car is going, and I replied that I had to drop it off at the garage this morning with a coolant leak and a cloud of steam coming from the bonnet. I'm not too concerned about this because I know there is a small coolant leak and the primary suspect is the recent new rad.
However, mt admission was in the earshot of the office gossip/know-it-all. This particular young lady acts as a PA to one of the partners, a role which is not particularly demanding and leaves her plenty of time for gossiping and offering opinions on all and every subject. As she like to know everyone’s business, this spare time comes in handy.
The girl in question then held court to everyone present and for 5 minutes told them all how unreliable TVRs are, and how amusing it is to see them all come out on Bank Holidays (only if its dry mind), and then all break down.
I challenged her to divulge her extensive personal experience of TVRs as she appeared to be so knowledgeable. She laughed it off and said ‘Everyone knows they are dreadfully unreliable…’, and everyone continued to lap it up… There was little point in explaining that it has recently had a new rad and the plastic mounting which replaced the metal one is not really up to the job.
This is the same girl who butted in when a guy from my old department was speaking to me about the Griff when I had just got it – could he have a ride in it and what had made me change from my M Roadster etc. ‘Oh’ she said ‘he had to get rid of the BMW because it kept breaking down….’.
News to me, and WTF would she know about it anyway?! P1sses me off enormously. And what is worse is that I allow her to wind me up.
Sorry, rant over. Now what can I do to the silly little bint and her even sillier Suzuki Jimny cabrio…..?

The title should have been 'Makes my coolant boil'...
It is just jealousy, but its SO difficult not to take the bait.
This girl also rides horses and was quite friendly with my girlfriend. Until Mrs Griff2be started beating her in various riding competitions, at which point the bint ceased being friendly and started sniping at Mrs Griff2be behind her back.
B1tch.

Just visit the horse shows with Mrs Griff2be. Sooner or later the silly bint (= PA, not Mrs Griff2be!!!)will have a fall, make an idiot of herself when her horse does something stupid, etc. You won't have influenced it, but you'll feel much better and you'll have nothing to feel guilty for!

Failing that, just try and sh@g her if she is fit.
I'm not sure that Mrs Griff2be would see this as an acceptable remedy for the wrongdoing we have both suffered by Miss Jimny. Even if I were free to pursue this course of action I don't think I could bring myself to do it. She looks alright but her personality repulses me!
I will maintain a dignified aloofness and Mrs Griff2be is instructed to 'whup her ass' in all equestrian activities henceforth.
Failing that I'll just keep instructing her to do lots of photocopying and sending 300 page faxes....
mate I know it's probably beneath you but sprinkle some curry powder down the fresh air vents at the bottom of the windscreen of her Jimmy (surely you can't be wound up by the owner of such a vehicle)her car will smell like a cheap takeaway for ever, render it unsellable and make her smell bad too
