My GT cannot accommodate timber longer than 2.4m comfortably. Van drivers ridicule one. There should be separate parking facilities for people with inappropriate vehicles.

Why don’t you call it an “Alfa”? Are you ashamed?
Sounds better than “GT”, especially as I had to look at your garage. “Bloody Type R isn’t a GT!” I said.

How is your R by the way....

Pistonheads isn't loading in IE so I'm having to use Chrome to for my browsing edification. Nothing's where it is supposed to be and to compound matters adblock isn't working; some bank holiday this is turning out to be

ETA IE now working, maybe able to salvage something from the day.

I had to read that three times before I realised it said GT, not GF. Mind was well and truly boggling.

My Outdoor Gas Grill's flame guards (that direct the fat away from the burners) have rusted away and aren't replaceable.

For the lack of a spare part I had to buy a new Grill.

And the wife has pronounced the new Grill as being too small. So when we entertain next I might have to obtain an additional larger Grill in order to have enough cooking surface.

Bummer.

I am enjoined to dispose of our perfectly good gas barbeque, bought at some expense from Peter Jones two summers ago and replace it with a Weber just like the one I didn't want to get rid of in 2016, as gas is now unacceptably 'caaannncill'

Anything Microsoft = council? Do I need to visit an Apple store to redeem myself?

Sitting on a riverbank outside Willy Lotts cottage, scene of the Haywain, after a nice sunny 3 mile Kayak on a sunny day spent not working.

The tearoom has run out of scones. Probably due to old gits wearing coral trousers. FML.

Visited a sibling over the sunny weekend. We decided to do a run to a local pub in Surrey. I was gagging for a cold pint. She spent the best part of 10 very long minutes trying to decide which of her soft tops to take; Jag or Mustang! Despite my protestations, she had no real idea how thirsty I was! Quite inconsiderate really.

I thought you meant physical exertion for a moment

"Which cereal would you like?"
"Shredded Wheat Bite Size, please."

Two hours later she came back with Shreddies.

If you think you might get promoted then perhaps fking work women is not a great idea.

Surely "Both" is the correct PH answer

It is. As it happens, new squeeze is bi and knows about my fwb and tonight asked if I fancied a 3some.
