  1. ther herd were out in force in the M40 this afternoon. the 'alpha' though was clearly the mid-life-crisis in a porsche carerra4 who came storming past me, dropped down a lane in front of me, then proceded to slow down to much less than my cruise control was set to. Why?!?!

      Not a Peugot, although we did get stuck behind one when we left the motorway that couldn't go any faster than 30 and seemed to have spontaneous braking habits.

  2. Satan's summary of 3 lane+ roads (motorways mostly): people that sit in middle or 'fast' lanes when 'slow' lane is empty are ######*. When lots of them do it they're a herd of ######*. However, on the m25 only it's a stampede of ######*.

      An now you are showing your age, there is no such thing as a slow lane, or fast lane, they are just lanes to get you to the next holdup a lot quicker !

      Just returned from tonights round trip of M4, M5, Axxx, A303, and A34. In heavy wind and rain. They were certainly out in force again. Special mention must go to the person in the Corsa who indicated to come out and round some old dear who was only doing 40mph on the A34, so I slowed down a bit in plenty of time and flashed to let them out........several times before they decided to actually pull. Of course by that time due to their 15 seconds of indecision I'd also had to slow down to 40...

      There are some very special people that are allowed to drive there is hope for me yet ;-)

  3. Wife, vaguely gesturing: 'I like the look of that car'. Me: 'Which car?' Wife: 'the one back there.' Me: 'Which one?!?' Wife: 'Behind us!' ......... Me: 'We're in a car park........'

  5. we're a well travelled family around the UK. During the summer the wife and (teenage) daughter were on their way home, heading west on the M40. Daughter: 'Are we heading towards Germany?' Wife: 'No.....why?' Daughter 'That sign had Birmingham on, and Birmingham is in Germany.' Wife: '..............' She could go on to cure cancer, solve world hunger, and invent a never-ending energy source, but she will never be allowed to forget that moment.

  6. tales from the fishbowl! Driving yesterday on a stretch of 3 lane dual carriageway, nobody in the slow lane. Wife: 'Why is everyone in the 2 fast lanes when nobody's in the slow lane?' Me: 'because they're......what's the collective noun for many ######?' Wife: 'What's a collective noun?' Me: 'it's the way for describing many of something, several sheep are a herd of sheep.' Wife: 'it's flock of sheep.....' The shame :-(

      I may have said the words 'anyone else would find that strange' before now.

  7. We have occasional compulsory drugs testing in work. they turned up today. Work Colleague: 'I need something to drink before I go down, pass me that bottle from under that desk'. proceeds to chug from bottle of 'blue energy drink', runs to sink and vomits. 'That's not energy drink, that's engine coolant.' Well that's one way to avoid testing, although he's currently in hospital getting mocked.

      Part 2: so he's in hospital having drunk a nice ethanol/glycol mix, the way to neutralise it as mentioned above is alcohol.......said work colleague has been completely tea-total for a decade. We really want to see him drunk.

      I do like that they give us a free pen now for getting tested. Agreed, as a family man in his 30s I'm clearly a prime suspect.

  8. Vintage classic quote for the day (not involving mrs Satan for once!) from an old friend, lets call her 'Lara'. Group of us discussing birthdays, a couple of us have them on the 13th of the month and listing when it was last a Friday 13th. Lara: 'I don't think my birthdays ever fallen on Friday 13th.' Me: 'no Lara, that's because your birthday's on the 12th.'

  9. Out for a walk earlier. Wife: 'I'm cold and I need a wee.' Me: 'Well there's a bush right there.......' Apparently that was also not an acceptable response.

  12. why is it so awkward to fit new bulbs into modern cars?! had to remove the air filter and fuse box to get at the back of each head lamp, (then get down on the ground to reach the undertray to retrieve the bits I dropped....)

      Because the designer is only concerned to jam everything in to as small a space as poss. Soad designer has probably never changed a bulb in his life!!

      Try fitting some gas lamps on a bracket !

    4. Satan's Goldfish

      Satan's Goldfish

      1. Main dealer never had a chance of it being taken back unless it was warentee work, something feels very wrong about paying someone to change a bulb!

       

      2. I'd agree with that, but my car is the opposite of small....lots of space in the engine bay, accept behind the headlights! Designing it so that when you drop an item it lands on the undertray which involves removing the inner arches to access is just genius though.

       

      3. Ah gas lights, what could possibly go w...

  13. replacement headlight bulbs ordered (1's blown), apparently they're 110% brighter and 20% whiter.......we shall see! (out of interest, does anyone use 12v automotive bulbs to illuminate their layouts?!)

      Too much current! A brake light bulb taking nearly two amps.

      When it's fiesta time in Guadalajara,

      How I long to be back once again in old Mexico,

      Where we lived for today,

      Never giving a thought to tomorrow,

      To the strumming of guitars,

      In a hundred grubby bars,

      I would whisper "Te amo".

       

      The mariachis would serenade,

      And they would not shut up 'til they were paid,

      We ate, we drank,

      And we were merry,

      And we got typhoid

      And dysentery....
