What a load of balls that was (I didn't finish it).

I went out on my bike yesterday. Obviously still extremely muddy but the blue sky made it almost pleasant.

An Audi RS and a solicitor by trade, you must really want people to hate you

I had a wheel straightened from my Mercedes cls that in the words of the tyre fitter, was shaped like a fifty pence piece. It was the inner rim that was bent so I had no idea, just a slow loss of air.

Ah yes, brain fart time

As an aside, I visited Scarborough last month to visit a friend for the first time in years. We went into the centre for a bite to eat and I thought I'd stumbled onto the set of a zombie movie

I've forgotten where you live, Scarborough?

You'll have more than the factory fitted cats with a tail pipe that large

Released.

Do we think he enjoyed that?

My wife was introduced to him when he was touring the building she worked in, apparently he was very chatty and asked numerous questions about her role. She is a 5'11" blonde with big, erm, distinguishing features though.

It reminds me of air brake equipped vehicles that have been parked for a while and have lost the air from the tanks. Start the engine and hold the revs until the brakes release and you can drive away.

I recently needed to replace my laptop and couldn't believe how much anything with a semi decent spec had gone up in price, a friend had warned me but I just thought he was being a bit of a drama queen :)

I decided to look at the used stuff available and bought a refurbished Dell direct from Dell ...

His impressions of other snooker players were entertaining

Has he fallen on his sword yet?

He looked very uncomfortable in PMQs today

They go down further than many people think

No car there…

Might want to get the tracking looked at after that

Topical spotted, Ricky Gervais sat at an outdoor table at a pub in Marlow

That sounds bizarre, which dealer was it?

I bought from Marshall Volvo and the price was the price. I did take out finance but only because there was an offer which included a years extra warranty and two years servicing. I paid it off after checking it wouldn’t affect the offer.

We might have to move this to the General section. :D

Home and car insurance are due in the next few weeks (annoying timing, but such it is). The home policy is going up by £3, and car insurance for both cars, with no changes to anything, is dropping £160.41.

That feels like a win to me ...

I particularly liked the copper chasing a suspect and shouting "You're done mate, you're done, I can do this all day"

I've only recently started to watch a few of his videos and I usually skip through them in chunks. They do sometime leave minor damage unrepaired if it's hidden which is slightly concerning.

Personally I prefer watching the cheaper stuff more than the supercars, I'm more a Salvage Rebuilds kind of ...
