Nob of the Day.......

[S-Westerly]

Reminds me of about 38 years ago my dad was following me in his rather spiffy Toyota Celica and I had a scabby old Volvo. I stopped at a roundabout, my Dad didn't. The insurance was interesting; the Toyota needed a new front end and the Volvo added a few more scratches to the back end.

Those old Celicas were nice cars. What worries me is that these days given a choice between a Celica and an old Volvo I'd go for the Volvo.

I had an old Volvo estate once! I find myself hankering after another 1

I love Volvos, we've had a few... 

The bigger, and more polluting the better

[Fiddlesticks]

We've had three counting the current v60 estate. Lovely comfy things.

I am on my first and it's not inspiring me.   

 

And today I am nominating me or the car that didn't let me out.  And awaiting footage of me in the wrong on internet or letter from police

 

Inside lane doing 70, 2 cars going a couple of  mph quicker in outside lane, car doing much less in front of me (55) I  signal and go  to pull out into reasonable gap between 2.

 

Check mirror pull out next thing all hell behind me on the horn.  Look in rear mirror, he had tried to shut gap, now moving towards central reservation trying to create 3rd lane.

 

Pull in to first lane and break for car the car 1 had pulled out for passenger now filming me. 

 

They are matching my speed I brake firmly, they pull in front of me. I preempt next manover and brake again, thier break checked failed. I sit 100 foot behind awaiting there next trick. They slow a couple of times then speed up.

 

I tentatively go back to 70mph surprise surprise I catch up with them.  They start  pull in from outside lane and slow, I slow snd take next junction at last minute it has services and life's to short.

 

Impressed they got  phone up and recording in the time it took, unless things like that happen all the time to them

Brother had a few, his current long termer is a 900 estate super tank, breached and well over 500,000miles a few years go and not asked him whats its up to date.
Its the model well before ford even thought of bastardise the brand and its well aged but still trooping on, lasting longer than 9 Peugeots or far more than over priced POS 5 teslas, rumours has it…

Toyota announced a new 600 bhp Celica this week. Tempted to trade in my SUV.

Nominating myself again.

Decided as it will probably rain later to wear my big adv boots and full gear on the ride in.

Forgot to stick my indoor shoes in the bag.

Currently sat at my desk in socks.

 

Edit: Obviously, not just socks. But without shoes

I've done that before. And had to spend the day walking around in my motorcycle boots.

Nob of the day week month is me! I've lost my false teeth! 

It's been a few weeks now I kept hoping they'd turn up! But they've gone! Vanished! I genuinely have no idea what I've done with them! I'm not registered with an NHS dentist so getting new ones is going to be very expensive and time consuming!

I’ve snapped a denture before and that was bad enough, luckily £35 to fix it. But to lose them would be devestating you have my sympathy

Always had a pair of safety shoes under my desk to change into. Had to have these when going into the factory etc.
