Other What's ruining your life right now?

Do a PPT hi-lighting the inconsistencies in her instructions and teaching, her failure to convey the task clearly and set it to automatically cycle through while your talking through your original presentation : P

this.

 

I did something similar at college. Though mine just cycled through sarcastic comments/pictures that had sod-all to do with the presentation I was giving...

I hate Powerpoint and all it stands for...

 

The Car needing a £720 engine rebuild :-\

 

2nd hand 307?

Awful awful cars.

 

its pretty bad but its not as bad as my previous motor

sure it needs a new gasket but i intend on keeping the motor for a good 5 years so whilst the block is out im going to get it done properly, new gaskets, bolts, pumps cam belt the works. i had teh same done to my previous motor, damn thing would have run until the end of time if the body/suspension hadn't started giving out

here teh body is incredible condition, the engine just needs some tlc.

 

Man flu. Pray for my soul Bit-Tech

 

Estate Agents being goddamn muppets for no reason.

How these people can't put two and two together easily is beyond me.

 

£720 for an engine rebuild? Cheap at twice the price!

 

Amazon.com was shipping Chromecast internationally few hours ago. Not anymore. And European prices are insane (plus no stock).

 

Setting up this damn casio edifice

Dunno if counterfeit, broken, or just don't bloody work.

It's like argh!!! so many options! i bought this watch so i can be lazy not freaking a master genius

 

Didn't you see what was on the dial?

 

Honestly I fricken love casio watches. Durable, incredibly accurate 2 clock displays( analogue/ digital) at the same time, 5 alarms, a stopwatch and a 10-year battery life. For $30- at walmart!

 

The car itself isn't bad. That engine and drivetrain on the other hand...

I had a 55plate C4 with that engine (albeit with a bigger turbo). Replaced it with a 1.6 52 Golf, purely because of how many issues it had - for instance:

- Clutch / Flywheel knackered at 72000 miles (pressure plate cracked in two places)
- Gearbox knackered at 80000 miles
- Turbo knackered at 88000 miles

It had random engine management issues - including pollution system problems and randomly just cutting all power (nearly caused a few accidents at roundabouts when pulling away).

I'm not still bitter at all.

In contrast, the Golf has now done 30,000 miles with me (101000 on the clock today) and aside from routine servicing, it's only needed a new master brake cylinder. Only downside is that I keep looking at the 130bhp diesel, or the 1.8T petrol...

 

I have no idea why people buy anything but a Golf when it comes to hatchbacks.

 

Can't beat VW/Audi/Skoda engineering. I'm looking at a Skoda Octavia Scout right now, and even the 100,000+ mile examples fetch £6000,-- plus easily. That is for a five year old estate with six digit mileage.

 

I would definitely look at Skoda too if I was in the market for a new car.

 

That basically. Two brilliant options right there!

 

Aye, I've had three Mk1 Clios ('95,'96 and '98), One '94 306, the '55 C4, a '96 Polo and my current '52 Golf

The Polo was utterly bulletproof and the Golf isn't far off that crown. Lovely solid bits of kit.

On the topic of ruining life, my body is a lovely place for insects to dine. Went airsofting at the weekend and came back with 26 bites. Woke three times last night because of the irritation and I don't think tonight will be much better
