Tell us something really trivial about your life Volume 41

Hello all .....and Bon Y Tylerswift to any Welsh speaking viewers viewing in .
I tuned in on Tuesday but kept my nonsense and general gloom in my locker as a member of the family had passed away , my condolences to all for that .
I did say that no stickers were to be stuck to the little red beast of Turin 1985 , but after creating a stripemare on the bootlid I had to do something, so I found the longest sticker that I picked up in Bolgna in October found it was just long enough to cover up the disaster area and stuck it on .
Affari sbullonati translates as Business unbolted , which I guess means a bit screw loose as they also created this .
A nod also to my previous named car underneath as David and Fabio are the proprietors of said business .They also have a connection with a FIAT 500 museum but it's on Sicily so too far to visit .
I consulted my language oracle for this ,my sister , she wasn't sure on it's true English meaning .
Note the SB bit on an Italian word means "un" in English .
a 500 with a Lancia Thema 2.0 turbo lump in the back ....
I don't have anything else .

Glenrobbo, I'm sorry to hear that things are so difficult for you at the moment, remember what you have said to us all, we're here for you mate.
Magoo, that is an absolute cracker that tipper!!!
Thanks bobbers. A good tipper is hard to find as most at the start of their life have usually been abused by employees. This is a one owner truck who was a self employed tradesman that only worked local to his home. I’ve paid a premium for it to be honest but the owner just this week has changed all the oils ,filters etc including gearbox and diff and greased it all where necessary since we agreed to buy it and put a new two (2) year mot on it.Magoo, that is an absolute cracker that tipper!!!
We’ve got a couple of projects here at home we want to do and it needs a tipper and I can also earn some dosh with it. When I finally throw the trowel in the river I will sell it and hopefully get something decent back for it. It’s only a tool after all but still worth looking after.

Sat in a giant Greggs in Hedge End awaiting my car having 4 new tyres and a 4 wheel alignment, I resisted the urge to get the biggest, filthiest, most gluttonous cake thing and elected instead to get a single cookie to go with my coffee.
Is that at F1?I always get my tyres there, always seem decent

If Constable Dunstable is on duty he'll give you 50p per squirrel tail. If Sergeant Argent is on, it's two shillings and sixpence (2/6). Humour him. He'll be in the pub later expecting a return on his investment. We'll be in The Gin Trap & Lengthy Apology. By the old Fire Station.I repeat. Stop.

Glenners, you seem to have your hands full there. Hope and trust that all resolves satisfactorily and amicably.
Bobbers, I knew it! Mrs Bobbers is plainly a remarkable lady and quite possibly out of your league.
Peri, thanks for the interesting snippet about the prefix "sb". Italian is not one of my languages.
For what it's worth the equivalent in Norwegian is "u".
Magoo the tipper is rather swish. Are you sure you want to use it for building projects? Not hiring out for weddings then?
BTW if the gearshift starts getting a trifle tetchy (it will eventually) it just means the cables need adjusting a touch. Mercifully, a fairly simple task.
