Fight then and thats the back of someone head.
I mean it's possible but the car was nose in against one of the only occupied houses in the area with not the most likely space for a bust up.

Apparently there were "disturbances" in the area that night (no idea, I was spark out) involving such grievous harm as 2am doorbell ringing a few streets away and engines revving. Which makes it less likely that I'm the targeted. victim of a racist attack and get to boohoo myself to sleep anyway.

Although I cried a bit over my wallet earlier.

I need a new screen on the wifes car. I am sure its covered on the insurance but unsure if wiper damage is covered (Previous owner) May just crack it to make sure it is covered but almost £300 was my first quote :shock:

Look at the lighter section. You will probably find a nicer looking one.

Automated phone answering systems BMP today. I had to ring several places this morning. Each time it was press this number for this, that number the other. Date of birth, say it, or key it in, then instructions on how to key it in. Another one was enter the numbers in your postcode. I seemed to spend an extraordinary amount of time going through this rigmarole and couldn't help thinking how much easier and quicker it was when you just spoke to an operator!

(1) Mice/rats have chomped the seat pad of my Clarke 'mechanics stool'
(2) ...and you can't seem to buy a replacement part

A new stool isn't exactly expensive, but I hate throwing away stuff when it's unnecessary. Seems I will be using the gnawed seat version for a while...

It's not to help you,it's to actively deter you from bothering them.

Try giving something away for free, it's a whole lot worse!

You think you're being nice, but you end up holding on to shit for weeks when people don't turn up and you get 800,000 messages asking 'is this still available'?'.

Don't do 'nice' anymore!
