Iโ€™ll let you keep the points though.

Usually, removing a lamp reveals an aperture that is full of crud, leaves and insect carcasses, and yours doesnโ€™t appear to be. Thatโ€™s what I was basing it on.

*Sigh*
Lazy reporting in a news story regarding cars yet again.
โ€˜Drag racesโ€™? Hardly. Drifting and general anti-social, yes, but absolutely no drag racing.

Was in a rush leaving for work at daft oโ€™clock this morning, and grabbed the nearest travel mug for my coffee, my wifeโ€™s.
So todayโ€™s caffeine intake has been provided by Chappell Roanโ€™s Number One best seller hit songโ€ฆโ€ฆ. โ€˜Pink Travel Mugโ€™.

Iโ€™m on dayshift 4 days over the w/end, it started well this morning.
By 5am Iโ€™d already seen a woman with a tattooed face call a man a โ€˜goblinโ€™, then she tried to jump over a desk. She failed,becoming impaled on a railing the other side&a fight ensued with a man in a shell suit.

Yep, multiple suppliers, all the same.

Just to clarify my annoyance, tyres a month ago were ยฃ65 each, now ยฃ95 each, at multiple suppliers.
Iโ€™ve gone with the cheapest (by a few quid, as Iโ€™m buying two).
46% price increase in just over a month.

Bought 2 tyres just over a month ago, need another 2 now. Same make & size. Theyโ€™re now ยฃ30 more per tyre. WHAT!?!

My latest purchase. 1.8 manual, currently doing around 4/500 a week, lovely thing to drive, comfortable, keen to be chucked around, equally happy sat with cruise on, boot is cavernous, magic rear seat are just as the name implies.

One of my favourite 70โ€™s cars, on roads I know very, very well. Nicely shot too. Iโ€™ll forgive the repeated mispronunciation of Blakey Ridge for that V12 noise. youtube.com/watch?v=8x8u...
