What have you done today thread?

[wull]

Blootered a badger! The little bastard. Somehow managed to rip half of the wheel arch liner off, fog light mount is broke, some damage to the bumper, need to have a proper look but I’ll be able to pick up the bits off eBay and have it back to normal.

[Skub]

Pah. Probably breaking the speed limit again,badger botherer.

[Noggin]

I hit a badger on the route nationale out here in a minibus a few years ago - it ripped out the wheel arch cover and the bottom engine cover thingy

Bloody badgers - why the heck he couldn't cross the road somewhere sensible, but no, waited for the only vehicle on the dual carriageway

Nah not in the car, I’m one of those boring cunts that try and get as many mpg as possible.

I kinda have to do that,or the noise from the passenger seat reaches an unendurable point. "SLOW.DOWN.YOUR.NOT.ON.THE.BIKE brake brake brake"

Sworn lots!

Woke up early doors to find the power had tripped, bit of circuit isolating to find it was the boiler circuit causing the RCD to trip. Quick trip to the boiler room to find water on the floor seemingly coming form the condensate drain - quick strip, clean and refit plus a few added prayers! No luck, leak appears to be coming from the heat exchanger - fuckity fuck fuck! New boiler time at approx £3.5k!
Add that to the fact that our BTL house boiler also went last month and cost £2.5k, sons car spectacularly failed it's MOT yesterday, some cnut opening their car door in to our car hard enough to dent it yesterday its fair to say I'm pissed off

Up early (before 7am is early in my books), dog out for a walk. Back home, coffee and breakfast for the wife at 9am, she is staying in bed as very unwell with the lurgy, bordering on ManFlu symptoms at this rate)... Work on sermon for tomorrow's evening service, then walked dog again for another hour or so. Back home to do lunch. Back to the church to do the cleaning and then home for a coffee and to let dog into garden for a wee.

Pizza and beer tonight I think, garlic bread as well and ice-cream for dessert. Should tick the right boxes.

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

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"
