I've nothing against the brand as such but I don't have a single Makita cordless powertool.
Hitachi? Yes.
De-Walt? Yes.
Festool? Yes.


Also I kind of believe in multiple redundancy on things that might leave me stranded and although I have a compressor I can plug into my fag lighter socket, I'd rather not use it if I'm close to a decent garage airline.

Its been re branded that many times in other shops i dare say the battery is available when the original goes tits up. My bus is about 6 meters long and has six wheels. Fuck dicking about at a garage shit tyre inflator machine. I also have air suspension what has been converted to manual inflate.

I'd just shag her and move on.

You really wouldn't... not even for a bet !

Yeah but no, I was socialising with her recently and I was absolutely battered and despite it being a few months since I got any, I remember looking at her and thinking.... still no

[DefTrap]

If rather have the cock-plague than use one of those again.

Those little cunty caterpillars that kill your boxus hedges.

My balls out front were the talk of the neighbourhood, but now they're just a dry, shadow of their former glory.

Something is doing mine in too...the leaves are turning brown/white and powdery. Arse.

Well, I don't think it's arse doing it. It's just an arse.

Box tree moth caterpillar....caught in the act!

Hard working immigrants. Our native birds are too lazy to eat them..

I was tempted to deal out some chemical death, but I'm deliberately cultivating a bug friendly garden (ha! succeeded there!). If the Buxus succumb I suppose I'll replace them with something else.

EDIT: Been googling, apparently pressure washers are somewhat effective here

Found this in a mate's garden.

To be fair, it's in the South of France

City Dropping points

That the hotel I'm staying doesn't have a night turn down service. I'll have to close the blinds on all six windows myself.

Where is this hovel?

New Lanark Mills. I'm battering a van round these pats for the next few days.

FedEx. Twice now they were due when no one was home. App tells me they have been so when i get home there is no card and no attempt at my two closest neighbours who are home. Next day they try again and if no one is home they go round a few neighbours. Why not do that the fucking first time you prats but what is pissing me off the wife was in all afternoon yesterday to get the bloody parcel. Can you kick up hell on there web site, Nah. Pricks

There's a bin strike on here at the moment, this is the union's attitude.

GMB union regional officer stating “we mustn’t start negotiating until the rubbish piles up in the streets.”

Put the reg and mileage into the MB online service booking thing, it says I need a 'B' service, only £975.

Emailed the local independent German car specialist... £484 and they update the MB service database online.

I've been the MB stealership before, their coffee aint that good!

[gremlin]

My Triumph service, bog-standard, only extras were the rear pads, £327 to you, sir.

I'll do it myself next time.

Don't you just love a trade union. The brains behind them really do beggar belief.

I had to pay for my bus fare today.

Standing at the bus stop, I realised i hadn't got my bus pass with me. The app told me the bus was about 4 minutes away, I live about 2 minutes from the bus stop s I might have been able to get home and back to the bus stop in time but I had an important appointment so I didn't want to risk it.

Insignificant in the grand scheme of things but that £6.20 is better in my pocket than the bus company's.

People who get off an escalator and stand right at the end of it working out where to go next, it's London's way of saying good morning to me.
