Other What's ruining your life right now?

Depending on how big the actual tear is in the gaitor you may just need to change the boot which is less than a inner usually just a super messy job. I had a Corsa so they were an annual thing with droplinks.

You will need a set of circlip pliers though to remove the CV joint.

Constant coughing is driving me nuts. 13 years ago when i started at university I came down with a severe dose of tonsillitis and that coupled with the tickly throat side effects of one of my medications means that whenever I get a cold or sniffles I get this cough that will not go. It's now giving me a headache and starting to pull my chest muscles.

 

Yep.


After the shenanigans the DS has been pulling recently it went to Kwik Fit to get hooked up to the diagnostics computer... 3 pages of error codes later and the very nice Spanish chap says "I have no idea, mate. Best take it to Citroen". He agrees with me that there doesn't seem to be any obvious mechanical problems, and most of the error codes are related to auxiliary systems either not communicating with the main CAN Bus or reporting invalid/improbable values.

Spoke to my mum on Sunday (naturally) and she said she collected a special delivery letter for me the other week, asked her to open it and turns out Citroen/DS want to look at it anyways as part of a product recall for something to do with "striker cable mounting potentially corroding and coming loose". What do you think the chances are they will be generous enough to do a software update at the same time??

 

could be the root of the evil. a sensor sparking/shorting/sending nonsense could very well be bleeding into the rest of the bus.

did i tell you about the time i had to replace my battery in the passat to fix the transmission?

 

7 Up Mojito. We were at the local bankrupt shop today and I bought 6 500ml bottles for £2. Just opened one and took a swig and it's friggin MINT. MINT 7 up. It tastes like bloody mouth wash

 

Yuck!!!!! That sounds pretty NASTY!!! Sorry

 

Dude, it's f*****g RANK. Fizzy mouth wash

lmao ah well, at least they had Vcoke there too, so I snagged three of those.

 

I don't drink Gareth. Like maybe 1-2 tins of Carlsberg a year I wouldn't know a cocktail from my arse

The shop in question buys stuff in bulk and it's not always English. So I just figured it was from Spain or something like that.

I honestly don't think I've ever had a fizzy drink that made me want to puke (apart from Dandelion and Burdock) but this comes close.

 

I didn't have my phone sadly. And nah, for some reason I completely missed the mint leaf and focussed only on the lime.

Ah well, it could have been worse. I almost picked up a full case, then realised I would have to lug it all up the steps into the flat so didn't bother

 

haha my lady and I love Mr Brains. We have them with carrot and swede mash and mango chutney.

But yeah, they're not really like a real faggot. They taste similar but they are very soft and mushy where as a real one is a bit firmer.

But yeah, until you've had a proper faggot from a butcher don't totally write them off

 

This is the weirdest conversation ever.

 

At least, for once on an internet forum, the word faggot is being used in the correct context

 

ONE of the correct definitions...

 

Why are some woman's dresses such a pain to iron? Tucks and folds abound on my good ladies new garb and as I tend to do all in the house due to her COPD I normally do the ironing and as she does not normally wear a dress preferring a pair of trousers or a simple skirt ironing is not normally an issue. But she saw this dress she had to have and I am lumbered with the onerous task of ironing it.
