What have you done today thread?

[Mr. Dazzle]

If you'd like to come and have a go at the one that's been digging up everything in my garden (bloody thing must have a JCB), be my guest.

Bring your own Ford Mondeo?

Mot’d my daughters car yesterday and cleaned it ready to advertise it. Stuck a speculative for sale sign in it just in the off chance and sold it an hour later. Always a market for cheap little cars I guess.

For the first time in my life, that I can recall, I heard a sonic boom!! RAF typhoons scrambled to intercept an aircraft, realised what it was and had a look on flight radar, saw 2 aircraft which then disappeared. Seems it was heard in Leics, Northants and Oxon, possibly other places too.
I thought it was the neighbours slamming their front door!!

Bought some new carpets then persuaded the wife to go look at cars.

Decided I still don't like most Audi's interiors, especially the A7... but the way the satnag screen popped out was cool.

The C class coupe is nice, but I can't help comparing it to my SL, which just feels a lot more special (which it should, when new it probably cost twice as much as a c lass).

Had a look at a 530e, but it was all unloved at the back of the lot and needed a good clean inside and out, which put me off.

It doesn't help that I don't really know what I want... except a shiney new (to me) car.

I suspect what Sir wants/needs is an 'S' Class Coupé. Sir is, obvs, a discerning driver.

They're a bit over budget, I also could really do with 40+ mpg on my commute so ideally diesel (which is why I don't use the SL and have been relegated to the Ovlov).. I like the look of the later E class coupes, but there's not that many about to go look at.

I heard the cool kids favour the Arteon. That said, the 530d was a very nice drive and averaged low 40s mpg during my stewardship.

Maseratis are the choice of ageing anoraks and nonces.

The cool kids like a Veedub.

I did look at the Maserati but by all accounts it was worse than a Five Series. And Charlie next door has one.

Helped roomie strap her bike to the back of the ST & then she headed off down the hill to the beach. Then saw a traffic alert & managed to call at the exact moment she arrived at the scene of a 5 vehicle pile up owing to a wrong way driver on the freeway that had happened about 2 minutes before.

Maserati's were the #1 choice by wimmins for "sexiest sounding car"

I hit a badger on the route nationale out here in a minibus a few years ago

I hit a badger with my fist last summer.

T'was when we were camping. First night heard a lot of snuffling around the tent, was half asleep at the time so thought I imagined it.

Second night came back. The tent had little zipped mesh windows all around the bottom.....yep there's a badger having a good old nose about

Obviously sniffed itself some food, so it started to have a dig/push around the edge of the tent. Hard enough it's making a proper "dent" in the fabric. I know they've got big ol' teeth* and baby D is here with us, so I just gave it a smack/punch through the tent. Made the weirdest "surprised badger" cough/bark and fucked off never to be heard from again.

Shoulda used a shovel

**Britains largest carnevore as every pub quizzer knows!

Sounds like that time Brian Blessed punched a polar bear.

Fired up the BBQ, burnt off last years grease and had the first BBQ of the year

[Greenman]

totally smashed our album release night the place was packed.

More pics and vids to follow as our legend of a mate who does our videos for our tracks filmed most of our antics throughout the night.

New video coming soon too...

The album is out now btw the way - search Entoxic Roots (needs the space) on all good streaming platforms.

lol its 3.27am!

[wull]

Put the new blind up that the wife had purchased, had no choice in the matter, forced against my will as usual with no sexual favours whatsoever

[Mussels]

Yesterday I went down to Topps Tiles and Toolstation to buy my next project, I shall be tiling the kitchen and depending how that goes tiling the bathroom. I was going to get a man in but they said I needed to do all of the prep first, once I'd done that I decided I might as well do the easy bit too.
This might be a mistake but once I saw a wet saw I had to have one.

[Taipan]

It was last night, but we went for a meal with my Sister and her other half. Got to the restaurant to be surprised by the rest of my family being there. They had face masks of me on, which was mot disconcerting seeing 12 of my ugly mugs looking at me! Great night though...

I'll await my copy... I'm sure the rammed-ness of the venue was entirely due to the excellence of the posters...

It's her ladyship's birthday tmrw so I got her a special prezzy.
She works as a volunteer at an animal sanctuary so I paid for her to sponsor the Vietnamese fat belly pig
She's now it's Godmother. She's over the moon.

Then lunch at our fave beach restaurant

This donkey is called Yorick
