You try and educate people not to use the crap stuff but they insist on putting it in even when I show them all the corrosion it causes to their wheels. Todays one had deep black corrosion all around the tyre valve, had to chip it off, rub it down and paint that area. the last one I did corroded the rim so bad it was leaking out of the bead, so much for the stuff keeping your tyre inflated...
I will never sell it !!

Apart from that, is it any good?
At what ?
As a tyre sealant I wouldn't know, never used it.
For abstract art It's quite good judging by the spray pattern over me and my Firestorm that was parked just behind me, got to clean it off the bike yet, Jackson baldrocks.

:lol: :lol: :lol:
Sorry Malc but that didn't half make me laugh :P
Thanks, I needed that :thumbup:

I remember Sirch showing me some pictures of his wheel which was rotted by what we thought was tire slime. I didn't know it was still a problem or it was causing so much damage. Thanks for the education :thumbup:
My new ride is a bit of a Howler and I love to make her Squeal

Phone call from my guv's boss this PM...You HAVE to leave the van at the yard at the end of the day tomorrow...
Leased vans have to stay in the yard overnight...New directive from above...

Er Ok so how do I get home then...?

No reply to that one.

To be fair this has been on the cards for a while but in typical council fashion sod all has been done about returning the leased vans & getting us council owned & therefore tracked so they can go home...I wouldnt mind but we pay for the privilage of taking them home anyway...

Brewery...up... pish... a... in. Cant even get that right... :lol:

i have to implement this with almost 25 van drivers. The law states that if you have a fixed base but drive to and from your place of work, thats a benefit and taxable. You may have to pay via your P11D. However, to save fuel etc the company may take the use of of you. If you are "Regional" you pay the tax but can use the van if they say so. Basically, you pay or lose the van to and from home. Its hard for me to sort out. I have to complete a "Business case" for each Fitter with a Van. it sucks.

the driver of this car is an utter Hippo, my nan hasn't been able to leave her house at all today, because he or she parked across her ramp access,
no respect what so ever, I've used one of those hard to remove stickers on the windscreen, hardly seems fair tho, my nan can't go out all day, and it's tempting to revert to my old eastend ways and lets just say that the car won't look the same in the morning if it's still there.

Call up the local council or 101, it's illegally parked on the path and also restricting access and egress to living quarters. They will get it lifted and impounded.
If it aint broke, get your bloody hands off it!

I spend most of my Sunday mornings coaching junior rugby for the local club, current age group 8-10's.
So we were playing another local group where unfortunately one of their young lads suffered a broken leg.
All the coaches got stuck in to make sure that the lad was well looked after when we waited on the ambulance and keeping the rest occupied. After the lad was taken away we were discussing about carrying on with the game when this other dad comes over ranting and blinding about how dirty we are and deliberately set out to hurt the opposition. WTF. Probably the cleanest game I have seen in ages with all the kids showing great gamesmanship.
So this dad grabs his kid and storms of sagging everyone off. Rest of us restart the game and all good.

What really pissed me off was this kid was crying his eyes out as he's ordered about by a tw@ of a dad.
It's hard enough to get kids into sport without parents screwing it up.
Don't hassle me
I'll get there at some time
