Does anyone else want to heave when they see a picture of the Iceland 5 bird roast?

    Multi-bird roasts are not something to do on the cheap.

    They're at their best with Puffin, Parrot and Pheasant in the mix!

    'Not something to do on the cheep' :-). I think Iceland is probably, vulture, seagull, crow, pigeon and various misc. roadkill.

    It's totally tropical. Mind you, i'm starting to forget now. I'm not paying 2 and a half quid for a bottle. It's a joke!

Just moved a flower pot that was upside down in the garden and there's a ball of about 6 frogs underneath it. All seem to be asleep. How funny. Left them alone.

    I like frogs. I have the tiniest little pebble pool solar ornament in the garden - only about the size of a dinner plate, and I had a frog just sat in that most of the summer. Like it was in a Jacuzzi. He/she was ace.

What would cause a turbo diesel engine to just die at 70 mph? Electrics all seem fine. Belts intact ...Engine not turning over.

    If the oil drains suddenly an engine can seize almost instantly.

    no compression (if he is correct) could be cam belt or chain

    does the engine turn on the key ?

    No. Nothing at all. Not even a click. The chain is fine apparently. Plenty of oil in it. Mystery ...

Annoying friend just left. Made a nice dinner. Even made an apple and blackberry pie. Whacked open a tin of Ambrosia custard and friend says "It's nice, but not as nice as my homemade custard". Who makes sodding custard!! Wouldn't mind but I've tasted hers and it's horrible.

Always a bit worrying following someone for 10 miles who's got a really, really loose wobbly wheeltrim.

    I would've got the hell away from that. There was a story in the paper the other day about a rubbish lorry that fell over in the road. They got it upright and it then went off and crashed into a house.

What is the point of the step sill on the Mini? It's just something else to bleedin' rot.

    I took the sill strip off for cleaning it last year and never put it back on, :D, much easier to clean that lip when washing without having to wipe up a load of grease/waxoyl.

£7.50 premium adjustment for the new car. A £26.50 "admin fee" for making it. Insurance companies are so greedy.

    Do they not do it for free online? My insurance don't charge if i change it using the online policy editor, they only charge when i ring them. That is very steep!

Just phoned a garage to ask if a car was still available. Said have you still got the 2012 black Golf, 1.4 Tsi Match, registration number blah blah. The guy on the other end said "Is that the DSG?". I mean, how much information did I need to give him at the beginning for him to know exactly what car it was????

    I was once approached by an energy salesman that I didn't like regarding gas and elcetricity.
    I'll never use either again!
