What made you UNHAPPY today!

[Sparky]

It's not the journey; it's the destination.

You can get an awful amount of gin in a thermos flask, so thanks for that, might go to bed now

Are you smoking the same gear as buddsy?

[Colin P]

Booked in for 4 year service, Ouch! 

[C8RKH]

Why is the 4th year service cost 4x that of year 1 and 3 and 2x that of year 2?  That's crazy but iirc you can cut that cost significantly by sourcing your own spark plugs (or you could previously).

[Colin P]

Not sure what the form is with the Lotus fixed price servicing, but my dealer (website) is still showing the annual service at £450 against the GT410 price of £280,  whereas the 4year is £940 against Lotus’ GT410 official £950. Presuming the 400 and 410 would be exactly the same. 

[C8RKH]

Yup. I got my prices from the Lotus service release. £250, £450, £950 is roughly the A, B, C service cost. What a spread.

my younger sister moved 2 weeks ago to Immingham which it has been announced today is a storage depot for ammonium nitrate

[andydclements]

I doubt she's in any real danger @pete as they can only store a lot less there than went up in Beirut, and I doubt many importers want to pay storage fees for long periods so it's not likely to degrade while there in Lincolnshire.

They are doing a buffet too? Cool

Does the indicator work?

[Bibs]

Ouch! Is that your car Pete, you ok?

[cweeden]

Took me a moment to realise the door was open, in the instant before I thought you had really bent it. 🤦‍♂️ 🤭

I assume everyone was OK.

Daft question as it looks like an Audi!

Hope everyone is safe and uninjured in all cars involved. Nothing else is important as just metal and plastic.

He must be alright if he’s managed to post on here!

Yes mine. Battered and bruised from the seat belt. Car I hit not too good.

[Barrykearley]

Ouch. As long as everyone walked away chap that’s the main thing. 

[Mysterae]

Hope you're alright Pete. From the damage of both cars I'm going to guess the VW was overtaking in the oncoming lane and you hit as it moved back in?

[pete]

Wrong. Country lane blind corner 

[Mysterae]

Ouch, not much time to brake then.

[C8RKH]

So who was driving too fast or too far over on the wrong side of the road? Otherwise, there should have been time.

Received an email today with (She/her) after the senders name. Had to look up why. 

Without getting into any debate about whether an individuals choice to decide what sex they associate themselves to, FFS, is it not obvious as to what someone wishes to be referred to as. And incidentally if someone is minded not to refer to a person that way then adding this is not going to change their behaviour. 

I think I am going to add (God) after my signature. 

[Barrykearley]

I’m confused 

BARRY ( outward associating lesbian )

[C8RKH]

I find in emails it is safer to refer to people as "You", "It", "Muppet" or "fcukwit". That way HR cannot get you for sexual discrimination / bias.
