Right by the Brudenell, which used to be quality, but then it went a bit try hard. The music venue was still class 4yrs ago, but the grimy cheap boozeria was converted into a chrome and wanky bar.

The Fish 12581 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Exchanged my end of PCP Kia Ceed, for a newer VW Polo. Honestly I would have been happy enough to buy the Kia, but didn't have £6k lying around. Took the old car to the local Kia dealership but they were oscillating between trying the hard sell on a Corsa, or being utterly disinterested. VW were just much less cunty and therefore much more likely to get my business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blastronaut 1476 Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 In the last 48 hours I've just bought a new garden shed and an Edgar Allan Poe book. I've really fucking missed having a shed and looking forward to freezing my knackers off and getting to read in peace under the guise of working. I've also bought a pry-bar, which was useful for lifting and levelling the paving slabs that the shed will sit on but will be even more handy if I get caught reading my Poe book in my new shed. I can use it to discretely break into someone else's shed and sit and read there instead. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blastronaut 1476 Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 In hindsight I probably should've just bought the book and the pry-bay. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 5305 Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Classic open tin of paint on the top shelf getting knocked off and covering him like an extreme plasterer's radio gets my vote. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 50776 Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Only partly delivered, which our erstwhile hero will only discover after he starts building them- multiple exasperated calls to “Michael” in the call-centre in Delhi later, our plucky apprentice joiner gives up and buys a cheap replacement from B&Q… … which will be missing parts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 12581 Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Nah, when he fucks up the shelving, he'll give up and just use the cardboard boxes they came in as an ersatz storage solution. As moisture makes them sag, he too will crumple under the realisation that he's no Handy Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 27805 Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 (edited) Alternatively, it will all work out swimmingly and solve all my garage related storage problems? And I will further contemplate what has become of my life. Edited November 22, 2023 by Renton 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We moved into this house about 5 years ago and that fucking basement still has shit in there that has been there since then. I've said that, given the authority, I could clear it out in a weekend, but NOOOooOOOOoooo sometime soon we just might need that still mint in box pan set.
