My electric is around £90 a month but remember i still have my daughter living here burning electric, for some reason we are £1000 in credit with the electric something the wife is trying to get to the bottom of, seems unlikely but it would be good if we are. Its the gas that we use the most that's £170 a month but i like to sit around the house in my pants so i have the heating on as hot as i need to be comfortable doing it LOL

After the initial outlay of £30 my next 20 punctures are free I've already fixed 3 punctures with it and one of those would have been a new tyre as they would say its too close to the sidewall to repair if i took it to a garage, so saved myself from having to buy a £70 tyre, so now i think of it i got paid £40 to fix my own tyre DIY it's fucking great

Well it's not working because everywhere i go there are polish people stealing our jobs It was frustrating as hell trying to explain to a polish guy in work last week what i wanted him to do as his interpreter wasn't in. I wanted him to dig a short trench to bury a cable, i tried to explain i needed it dug and left open, when i went back an hour later he had dug the trench put the cable in and back filled it. He done a lovely job except i wanted it left open as i had another cable to put in it LOL great worker though better than all the lazy fuckers there from Wales

Got even better talking to the idiot at the call centre who just kept telling me to return it and order something that works on mains gas He kept repeating the same nonsense on loop as if it was my choice. Eventually I heard the words “Listen sweetheart, I’m not a moron, pay attention” leave my mouth which is generally a warning I’m losing my patience. Anyway now I have two large range ovens, one broken fully connected up and one shiny new one completely unconnected Its quite cold out there, I hope his tongue doesn’t get frozen to the bus window while he’s licking it on his way home.

If they'd have been Polish it would have been off the van and fitted in less than 10 minutes (Fat munters excepted) but of course they're not allowed to work here now are they ................

House I pass on my walk home from the schizophrenics has a constant turnover of weird and wonderful cars parked outside. this is the latest, 1967 plate.

The great British workman ladies and gents- Two can’t be arsed feckers turned up with the new oven this morning and couldn’t contain their smiles that “theres a problem, we can’t touch LPG” They even tried to persuade me to send it back and order something else so they didn’t have to unload it! When I say no it’s just a set of nozzles as it will be on any oven I order” they huff back to the van and the lazier of the two watches the other one unload a 120kg oven on his tod

Fiver … rip off Spain .

bollox all this ..cause of ukraine war, admittedly some stuff probably has.... most of its just an excuse to rip every one off ... did you see the profits that Shell just announced..... fucking outrageous !!

we pay 190€ a month combined gas and elecmatrickery. heating, hot water and the Hob are gas, oven and the rest is 'lectrick ( I DON'T sit around the house in my pants BUT there are 3 wimins living here, 2 of whom are teenagers...)

Don't tell me you've started Trolling as well Bob?

That's ridiculous......nearly as much as the car is worth!

Should have said that I do not know how much for a car tyre.........so long since I had a puncture. Shit...you watch I will get one now.

In memory of the late Burt Bacharach.

And no wonder given their motives......

Always think of the lost in space robot when I see the front of these.

Fuckmine, he’s got that as well

You should be grateful that a Picarsehole has lasted 5 years

Don’t tell me you accidentally ventured into the world of DIY dropped a nail in your garage?

I hear cars get at least a puncture a week in the UK. Dodged a bullet!

I'm no doctor but maybe a good laxative might do the trick....maybe all that mucus gummed up the plumbing down there...

You don’t look good either.

Another long day finally finished. Where’s my work shirker allowance gone, I’m bored of being sensible. More of the same tomoz. Heyho!

Hi Bob, and welcome in. I agree with almost everything @Motobiker said in his post ( except the bit about northern France being uninteresting, but this is not the question here). In your case get off the ferry or the chunnel and hoon down the A26 avoiding Paris like the plague, to Reims or even Troyes, depening on your timings and how long you can ride in a day ( Calais troyes is about 4 or 5 hours depending on speed and stopping time. A second day to get from Troyes to Morzine, again 5 hours actual saddle time, autoroute to Bourg en Bresse and then take the D979 to Nantua, D1084 to Bellegarde, D1206 as far as St Julien en Genevois. Pop back onto the autoroute A40 in order to bypass Geneva ( there's no other easy way round and it avoids going into switzerland and allows you to make some ground fast) off the A40 at Cluses to follow the D902 up to Morzine> from there you pick up the route de grands alpes. I know that part of the country well, and love it. OR the bearing from Troyes to Morzine is about 139deg true, grab a map and a compass and away ye go I can't really advise on lodgings as many will have changed sice I was regularly down that way, but as Motobiker says there are plenty apps to find hostels, hotels, campsites, whatever. Have fun! I'm about an hour and a half from anywhere between Troyes and Dijon, if you need anything give us a shout.

Police in Liverpool last night announced the discovery of an arms cache of 200 semi-automatic rifles with 25,000 rounds of ammunition, 20 tonnes of heroin, £5 million in forged UK banknotes and 25 trafficked Ukrainian prostitutes, all in a semi-detached house behind the Public Library in Toxteth. Local residents were stunned and a community spokesman said, "We're all shocked, we never knew we had a library."

i know ..its a joke .... the rich get richer....

They came but fortunately no restrictions on firearms meant his trusty AK47 was close to hand and he dispatched the lot before they got to the door, oh yeah he da man. He’s now holed up in his bunker and all the doomsday prepping was worth it - in your face doubters. Beans for dinner today, same as yesterday same again tomorrow, only another 120 days of beans before he snorkels to the underground cave where the A team make contact with the escape plan. Whoop whoop.

Unless you order stuff from Wish….

The last one I had in a car was free if you go to the place that fitted the tyres and they still have legal depth tread on them.

I'm not a fan of Bruce Dickinson's voice in Iron Maiden, but seeing this on youtube today reminded me of one of the few songs of his I do like, the other being Hallowed Be Thy Name. Probably haven't listened to this in 20 years but I still remembered a most of the words so I must have heard it a lot for them to stick in my memory.

Had a fucking puncture! Nail in the tyre........cost €10 to repair. How much is it back there now?

The thought of you cock shirting it is just sickening.

Always!

Has he still got his trakky bottoms on then

Thank you for that Caroline, I will being going back. Not sure I will get an appointment today although I have tried, but as I work for 111 I will probably be able to get an appointment with one of our GP's tonight. While not perfect it is a choice to talk to someone. I know the Colchicine makes me feel rough and I have since checked and it reacts badly with another med I am on, so now I know this I will be on it. Thank you again. Edit: Further update, Dr got back to me and I am going in at 3.30pm for an ECG, blood pressure check and to discuss my meds. Had a few more things worrying me as well as the gout so it is time to get it sorted.

Car tire repair...plug repair 15 buck...patch repair 30 bucks. Electric at home.. Nearly 400 last month..

Good on ya. Sorting out these type of things is something most of us avoid and then after wonder what why on earth we waited so long Good luck with all your oojamaflips

Last year on the bike.....the OE back tyre kept losing pressure. I needed to get that Dunlop Trailmax Mixtour POS off anyway.

I honestly can't remember when I had the last one on my car, on 2 wheels it was 2008......

Had this car nearly 5 years and it's the first one we've had!

Our local (Shirebrook Motorcycles) shop charges £10..........Next nearest bike shop will do their best to sell you a new tyre.....but will repair it if pushed..but charge £30 for the privilege.

Then you can start buying stuff for the Honda. (Notice I said “stuff” not “shite”.)
