Other What's ruining your life right now?

My best mate finally got pregnant after 6-7 years IVF and £15k but 16 weeks along they lost the baby, with how devastated am I can't comprehend how they must feel, I still cry for them.
With him this weekend to get him drunk and do whatever is needed.

 

We have and SUV with 22" rims here zero shits given still floats over rubbish roads on its air suspension, versus my road cars where I am often wincing as I drive along

More practical than an estate, comfortable upright seating with great visibility, easier to get in an out of, often a shorter length compared to the equivalent estate so easier to park in the city, so many reasons for one. I use ours to tow, its lovely, only needs traction on fields and rubbly paths at worst, I'm not climbing a mountain just pulling a couple of tonnes.

I reckon being Geely the 132 is just going to be a rebodied Zeekr 001 which doesn't look terrible.

I wonder what the prices will be, I have an order in for a Volvo XC I could switch if it is as reasonable as the Emira. It probably won't be though, though lets be honest who wants to tow with an EV, all that unhitching to charge etc, no time for that.

 

Interesting take, I can't say the seating position / getting in and out of the car is something that matters to me so I hadn't considered it.

 

I reckon you're spot on actually, was unaware of it but then I've not been following the auto industry at all.
I was sorta hoping that the manual V6 Emira was a statement that Lotus would continue the tradition of analogue & old-school in part, but suspect it was really just a case of tooling & transition practicality of making use of something they already have.

 

Yup reckon that to be the case, great bit of re-use though.

I'm hoping the Emira destroys Evora prices so I can pick one up, do you still have one, I'll give you a fiver for it I'd love me a 410 but can never convince myself to part that much dough for one.

 

I'm hoping that does not happen. I still have the 400, have been mulling over whether I want to continue having it for a couple of years. It still only has 6k miles on it so probably worth at least a tenner.

I had a GT410 for a weekend and was unable to detect any difference that wasn't cosmetic.

 

Bad luck Gareth. Mine went up ~50%.

I'm wondering about calling them up and saying that I have a new deal for them - the same damn rates I was already paying, or I'll blow their offices up.

 

I'm on a 2 year fixed price tariff until November this year. On a scale from totally to yes, how screwed am I going to be?

 

Should be fine, it's a two bed mid terrace you're in, right?

 

Yes.

But let's say hypothetically, that I wasn't.

 

Perhaps you could buy a cheap shipment of Russian gas that everyone else is refusing to unload?

 

A day off. I wish. Been working really hard on my speaker for two weeks now without a single day to rest. Today was that day. Yay !. Only I forgot that my brother left a big hole in the kitchen wall when removing the cabinet (mum wants a bigger FF) and she was at the "I'm paying someone to do it" stage.

That's where the son bit kicks in. Pay? you kidding?



Ugh. So much for a day off then.

Can't wait to hit that with the sander ! oh what joy !

 

Next uplift in October is predicted to be 60% so about 44-45p a unit which is a fair chunk.

 

Aye after the 50% or so in April. Our fixed just ran out this week.

Time to dig out the thermals.

 

A game i was looking forward to turns out to be a sodding souls like.

Boo!

 

7am I had a dream I was back in the USA and there was a wood pecker outside.



Turns out it's actually these guys.
