During the cold snap the other week, the spring on the left front of my 3 series managed to somehow ping off of its perch on the strut. Until I get around to obtaining a spring compressor and pull it apart and fix it I am having to drive around in my 911 all the time. I reckon that is pretty first world..... paperbag
When I returned from holiday the Civic wasn't finished at the bodyshop so I needed to use the NSX for a whole week! I feel your pain...

Although the ad pictures are blocked, there is still the line at the bottom of the page on PH saying "Sponsored content", so I now have to scroll down that extra bit to get to the bottom of the page!

I swear if my mouse wheel breaks prematurely,I will SUE!!!

you can block additional page elements in ad-block if you are getting weird results. Click the icon and then 'block elements' when you're on the page in question, and you can highlight the one you don't want to see any more.

I don't know why I go on the exec lounges at "nice " hotels, like the Conrads, InterContinental's and Hiltons of this World.

It makes me SO angry to watch greedy people wolfing down the canapés by the tray full, to save the expense of an evening meal.

I just had to come out of the one here at the Hilton Ankara, after watching 2 guys repeatedly pour the contents of 6 or 8 individual servings onto a plate, and then move onto the next tray, and do the same, generally while eating the food on their plate over the open servers.

One of these 2 used the ladle of the muxed nuts, to scoop out nuts, then hand pick the ones he didn't want and throw them back into the tub. I challenged him, and his replay was that he liked hazelnuts and almonds, not cashews. Well that's just fine, but pick out the ones you DO like, if you must, and put the ones untouched by your piss soaked hands back.

Greed. They pay a little extra for lounge access, but are too tight and greedy to buy a meal !

Can they both be young and over 50? Unless you still consider that young I suppose. I get pointless clickbait news stories, usually about bitcoin and tech I don't really care about.

Trust me, it's got this one wrong. I might be in the market for a fifty-something woman in twenty years. Right now, it's mind bleach time.

I am sat on a Virgin train in First class. I momentarily forgot whilst packing that I wasn't travelling with the poor and packed a hip flask of gin and a tin of tonic to help the journey ease by. Despite realising I did have a more comfy seat once I got to Euston, they were a bit slow with service, so I dug into my own supply, then they came round just after Milton Keynes with yet more gin, I am going to be really pissed when I arrive in Manchester and have to cycle a few miles on my folding bike which now may not go well. What am I to do? confused

Ah my other reason for being here: Mrs V. has disposed of, or hidden the table salt, so I've had to put Cornish sea salt on my kebab and chips.

It is not illegal to be over the drink drive limit on a bike. It is illegal to be 'intoxicated'. So as long as you don't act pissed or hit anything you should be fine.

Am I being unreasonable when I get angry that my wife has to do a Facebookesque pout/pose/hair flick/side pose when using her Iphones facial recognition?

Slight overreaction as hair and facial expressions are irrelevant to FaceID it’s about attention and direction ... it’s not like FaceID has remembered a specific pout!
