The pile driving that can be heard from a site down the road somewhere.

All day yesterday & it started at OOOOHHHH 7 BLOODY HUNDRED this morning ! & double

I don't get annoyed now, just reflective

Fooking bushes on a starter motor that I was trying to refurb .
Do you think I could get all four in NO
After two hours spent refurbishing it I wombles it at the wall and broke two bricks aaarrerrdsgbg

Did the starter motor hold up? If so then all credit to Honda's build quality

No it's in the bin .

well now you can say you have crash tested something

After I took the angle grinder to two swing arms :-) mohaa

Oh god! Everyone look out. Lloydie is on a destruction rampage.

What annoyed me today wasn't the fact I was asked to work Sunday instead of Saturday, nor the fact that I had to re arrange all my Sunday plans to Saturday, certainly not that its all at double time but the fact I have to do an 11 hour shift on a Sunday! I'm no religious person but I do like my day of rest.

Yes, long gone are the days of Sundays being a day off. And most shops used to be only open for half days on Saturdays. They expect people to their ball off for more than an 8 hour day and for 6-7 days a week these days for crap money and have no rest days or family time No wonder the country is going downhill.

that's true Carl. It was mentioned somewhere in some dubious study no doubt, that the 70's were when people were happiest. Odd, that the country was heading to the dogs economicaly, yet people still lived in communities where a lot of people knew each other, families lived closer together, there was a sense of structure to a week, Sundays were days of rest, not frigging shopping, people didn't constantly want more of everything, and a lot of all generations knew the value of a lot of things and the price of wombles all, aside from oil.

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been on the phone for hours trying to get this car moved from outside my nans backdoor, 5 different council departments, I visit to the estate office, and a call to the police, all I've found out is because its on an estate//private rd, it can't be moved, the law changed last year, the police have told me the car is not registered locally, so theres no real point on knocking door to door, I've filled in an ambandoned vehicle report with the council, even tho I don't think the cars abandoned.
I even tried to pull the car out of the way with my cab, but because the front left wheel of the car is turned outwards towards a small kerb of the entrance to my neighbours backdoor. the car only wants to head towards his rear wall.
I can't ferking ride the bike until the car gets moved.
any constructive idea's, if I had a trolley jack I could pull the front of the car around and then drag it clear. but I have no way of getting hold of a trolley jack, and I ain't going to buy one.....

on the plus side, I had a word with my pot smoking neighbour, he's now got the message.....

It's blocking emergency access. What if there is a fire at the front of the house. How is you nan going to get out. Smash the window, handbrake off, and tow the wombles with your cab.


What has annoyed me today. EXHAUST STUDS. Arghhhhhhh

how about 2 car jacks that come with a car for changing a spare wheel? Jack it up one each side and turn the wheels straight by hand?

Failing that what car is it? and how old?

Marty,
drag it sideways with the cab to get the angle right, then pull it backwards

Why not have the mook that put it in front of the door in the first place bang into it from the other end... Seeing as his car is already banged up, it won't matter much...

No, seriously, a 2x4 of sufficient length is all that's needed to move it sideways... stick under, and lift... Then tow it with the cab...
