Then she can use the indicator stalk as a place to hang her handbag.

Car 1-NO-doesnt like the sun visor.
Car 2-NO-her friend just bought one of these, and she cant copy what the friend has.
Car 3-NO-she went to the dealer to look and NO ONE* came up to her to see if she needed help *she does have resting bitchface, so theres that
She then asks what i think of some Peugeot SUV thats $10k more expensive than her budget and 1 size smaller than the shortlisted cars. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU I give up!!

You're not ever going to win.

If she buys a car you suggest and has problems, it'll be your fault.

If she buys a car of her choice and has trouble, it'll be your fault for not telling her about that car's problems.

Woke up yesterday with the worst case of gastro ive had in my life. All day coming out both ends, and sweating like crazy. I ended up trying to sleep it off on the tiles in my bathroom as they were cold and i was hot. So yesterday sucked. Todays a little better.

[Citroënbender]

Doesn’t sound good. Did you just get vaccinated - could be a reaction?

I cannot see how it could be, havent left the house in weeks. I play the game when i order food and say self isolation so they ring my doorbell and leave it on the doorstep. The only reason i go outside lately is to check the mail and every few days to start my car and let it idle for a while to maintain the battery. Im putting it down to leftover pizza, as once i got past the oversleeping from yesterday ive been fine. I was a bit slow to get going this morning as it was cold and i dont do to well on cold starts, but its midday now, im 6 beers in and absolutely no gutteral consequences.

A lady friend of mine has just picked up a project Nova SS, missing the driveline. She won’t say what she paid for it, but I’m betting it was a steal. Not that I need any more projects myself but I’m still envious!

That green eyed monster always gets me when I see a nice blue Ford XR6 in mint nick driving in my area!
I can only wish........but its envy not jealousy, good choice of word

Have a sign prepared.
Hold sign up as necessary.
Sign reads - ‘it’s all my fault, I’m terribly sorry, it’ll never happen again, how can I make it up to you ?, and by the way, what have I done ?’.

Sign can be used again and again. And will be.

I let them know they should look into public transport and leave this car stuff for the switched on people.

The last two days I have got a wiff of pollen which means the seasons are changing. It's coming up to swooping season.

There is one **** of a bird that has swooped me just stepping out the front of my house long range like a ****en F-111

I went for a jog on the oval. Usually if you stare them down they won't attack from the front but this **** was nasty and chased me off

Trick is, feed them a few tidbits and they'll most likely leave you alone.
We had swoopers in the park next door, and after a few little treats no more swoopies.

Wish I could say that it works everytime but fed maggies myself only to find they can sometimes turn around a then swoop after a nice feed.

feed them, 1020, arsenic, napalm bomb

I was on good terms with the Maggies at my old house. It's weird here though because we have underground power so you don't have birds on the wire and they rarely come into my backyard.

I haven't paid my dues around here yet. This one is super aggressive but I have seen a heap of kids stirring it up so no wonder

lol just released one i found with a bloody & broken wing....had her 9months & this is day 4 of freedom...tried a release 10wks back but she couldnt cope with the angry local ones & lasted 3 days. Ended up putting a cage up on top of the back enclosed deck, which she could come & go at will from inside the 12x 6m back deck...her"sky lounge" let her entertain & mingle with the locals that visited... hoping she teams up with a male that she seemed to like...shes lurking & came for a feed yesterday.Have had to chase off the bad ones twice so far....fingers crossed Betty!

Watched a utube vid to work out how to bandage her wing...not perfect now but watching her recovery has been a buzz.From her 1st out of control glides off the back rafters to yesterday powering up 80m & doing a turn dive, high speed swoop....

Hmmmm, i ran my rc car yesterday. Didnt have time to romp on it before i broke it. I was playing with one weird traction stability setting that annoys me, then it started handling odd. Yep, it wasnt broken suspension bits. I snapped another axle. Thats axle #5. The 1st 4 were the stock plastic ones that i replaced with stock plastic ones due to availability yet ordered upgraded metal ones from the other side of the world which took their time to arrive. This one was one of the metal ones. So i have ordered a pair of replacements, i do have 4 stock plastic ones as spares. So i already have a tracking number, but come Monday, depending on what that says will sway my aspiration to change both fronts to stockys or wait it out. Changing 1 is a fiddly pain. 2 is a double pain. If its not too long for the new set, only 1 will be swapped, 1 will be spare.
So far the list of breakage is 1 lower suspension arm, 4 stock axles, 1 metal axle.
Am i upset? No, im kind of impressed. So the list of modifications.... well, there are none. I dont reckon metal axles are a modification if in stock form the thing can still pull a number on them.
Maybe 1st mod will be taller gearing. Yes more top end, but slower acceleration will reduce driveline stress.

Have you ever thought about starting a blog!...not joking, I reckon it would go down quite well, I don't have or never will have an RC Car, but your posts seem to suck me into liking reading about em!...

Well unusually for me I was so intrigued by your post that I immediately googled?
I thought if it's a CB post there must be something either different or unique about this unknown person soon to be well known, now I know I won't spoil your exposé of this maggot

Cut my finger pruning roses.

Followed standard OHS practice and quickly stuck my finger in my mouth.

I caught the neighbours cat in the act digging a hole in my garden. So I went up to it to give it the move on.

The thing wouldn't move and 'I said don't you do it' and yep next thing you know it dropped a ****. What a little ****. Seriously never expected it to follow through with me right next to it

Got a stick and flicked it over the fence
