mac.i Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Her wee car requires 2 new front tyres, we're both off tomorrow and she asked if I'd take it to get tyres in between a couple of things we've planned.... I've been looking at prices and found a good price online however can't get an appointment tomorrow. She works Saturday, Sunday and Monday and isn't keen on me booking in between her calls in case something happens with a wee biddy she looks after; fair enough. Said I'll book for Tuesday as she's off "what shift are you?" is asked - I'm nights "Oh so I'VE got to take it!? “.......... Not so keen on being reminded its her car this time...... or any other time it needs money spent 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senorsoupe Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 So it's summer in Canada and quite hot so we are running the air conditioning. The main air conditioner is located in our bedroom/my home office (we live in a 2 bedroom apartment) and is not exactly super quiet. The bathroom is just down the hall and if one is in there, the person in the bedroom/home office cannot hear a word they are saying, a point I have made on a daily basis for the entire summer. Anyways she insists on starting a conversation while she is in there, I can't hear anything she is saying (sometimes don't even know she's speaking) and then she gets annoyed with me for "not listening" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weirdcal Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Watching love Island and a violin version of a song comes on and she asks what I think it is. Now I worked out it was Ed sheeran and said its the one he duetted with Beyonce on. She sat and ridiculed me for a few mins as if they would ever duet. One embarrassing search on my YouTube history later and apparently I should not have said get it right round ye for being right on song and the duet 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may be a slight premium but it saves endless hassle, arguments and time. 11 minutes ago, weirdcal said: One embarrassing search on my YouTube history later and apparently I should not have said get it right round ye for being right on song and the duet A man of your age not realising this will never end well be it song, duet, or anything? I'm surprised. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally can just do drop ins, and really good at matching other quotes that they can verify. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Genuinely never booked an appointment for new tyres. Drive to the garage, tell the c**t you need a new tyre, job done in 15 minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried a few of my usual places and available stock seems to be an issue.... always used Fair Deal tyres when I lived in Dunfermline and have used their Grangemouth branch too - always good no frills service and prices. Same with D&G who I've used. JK tyres don't have the tyre I'm looking for available. Will check Ace as they're local to us @The Moonster I always prefer to do my homework as the four rubber bands are what keeps the car on the road.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fair aye, I may just be lucky in that I've got a well stocked tyre garage 2 minutes from my house that have never required an appointment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave258 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Arranged to meet her at a pub at 5.30 after she had her hair done. Sat here for over an hour and she's still not finished at the hairdressers. Actually now I think about it this isn't infuriating at all, I've had a blissful hour in the pub all to myself. As you were. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theroadlesstravelled Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 We’ve got people coming next weekend to stay so I’m not allowed to do a shite in the main bathroom after it’s been cleaned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The appropriate course of action is to take a dump there about 5 minutes before they arrive. That will learn her! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doulikefish Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Just made me look a right c**t. We have a gas barbeque and I couldn't get the cannister disconnected from the attachment thingy.So because I have left it out since about April I was convinced myself that it had probably got all rusty and welded itself to the cannister.So since about Tuesday I've been spraying wd40 onto to try and break the rust.Been out the back for about an hour today still couldn't move the thing misses walks over pushes the release button and the thing pops off no bother. So moral of the tale is 4 ring gas burner free to a good home 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
