So my ex mate who succumbed to the drink, left his wife n kids, ran away to his home town and shacked up with some bird, dragged his divorce out, and cut us all out of his life after sending pathetic messages blaming everyone but himself.

Found out today that his latest drinking escapade was too ...

Do people not get angry ? When a good friend died and he didn't, he then did something he knew might result in a bad episode. Choosing low life's for a quick fix instead of a great group of friends he would come to when he actually needed help.

All the good in them but now I just hate the mess ...

Wouldn't touch it. He deliberately takes on these complicated repairs for views, not because he has experience of building/repairing cars other than previously on his channel. He doesn't know what he doesn't know.


There's also been a few instances recently in his videos where "oh this thing ...

Shit happens, no-one was hurt so just a pride battering.

If you want cheap getaways and you don’t mind city breaks go to Poland.

I priced up a trip in September for me and the wife, flying into Wroclaw, staying in a really nice central apartment with Airbnb for 4 days, then getting on a train to Krakow and staying there for 3 days, again in a really ...

That'll do

Dave!

It was only recently I saw how the country was in the 70s, they have a lot of catching up to do.

Dave!

Absolutely incredible, hopefully the people get the change they want!!

I miss it too. But even an 85bhp Peugeot 205 was fast enough to do 100mph on virtually any straight, given a sufficiently exuberant driving style.

How efficient and wonderful these were, some modern fueling and ignition and these would ...

Yeah, don't choke on my smoke grandad!!

We do short weekends now, big holidays in one place are stupid and am never impressed.

We will do Japan with the kids in October half term but purely as it's a dream destination for the boys.

The idea of going somewhere in Spain and spending 5k just seems like you're being butt fingered by TUI ...

I do miss the era of everyone having slow cars though.....now everyone has Ferrari power in a hatchback with added distractions and feelings of invunerability due to aids.

Projects just get overwhelming. Instead of making is useable you end up going "well while I'm in there this job is easier, then this, then that" and by the time you are finished a small achievable job has turned into a huge job with a lot more expense.

Good momentum at the start

Dave!

The Clio on PS5 tyres has no turn in bite but is oddly grippy, very easy to set the ABS off though so I'm guessing it's a pretty old system on them.

The ML on Asymetric 5 (I think) is fine aswell, the weight helps and relatively narrow tyres.

I was tempted to try the Clio on winters as I have ...

I've big feet but can't seem to get my ankle to rotate at all, I gave it another go on a long route to Tescos.

I may temporarily extend my accelerator pedal and see if that helps having it a little higher.

Dave!


There’s a common mod for 182’s where you unbolt the throttle pedal and fit a ...

Met a couple of lovely ex-racing greyhounds last year at a family party, the boy was big and took a shine to me - Inknew this as he kept sidling up and leaning on me. I wasn’t really aware that any dog breeds did this, but it was really nice. He got lots of cuddles….


Yep leaning is a thing ...

The Hootananny was quite annoying.

Lenny Henry can fuck off.
Noz-one seemed to care that Heather Small was having some kind of fit.
That old guy whispering with his guitar, was he ok ?
The first song The Kooks played appeared to be a weird atmosphere vacuum.
Lulu, it's like seeing your gran in ...

2025 not been great with the missus suffering from life-threatening cancer yet again.
