You went out on your bike!?

Nah, wouldn't have been so bad if I'd been on the bike because I wouldn't have been blocking quite so much of the roundabout at rush hour in Cardiff:oops:

Yes, but i'd only done 408 miles on the (45 litre) tank so I didn't really believe the madly flashing fuel light (I should get at least 450 miles from a tank).

That is sooooo a typical woman comment.

In a car? Today might have been the last decent riding day in Cardiff all year.

Wednesday and Thursday are lookin' good according to BBC.

:laughat: what roundabout?
Just off the A48, at the end of the slip road for Cardiff Gate.

Could've been worse breaking down on a busier roundabout, like gabalfa or culverhouse cross. I broke down on J45 roundabout on the M4 and it was pretty scary watching other driver compete for space around me.

True. Glad I made it off the A48, was a struggle up the slip road!

You clever girl. :D

I have only run out of petrol once and that was an experiement to see how far the bike would actually go. Never run out of petrol in a car.
However, Verna has run out of petrol once!

I'm not blonde though. I don't think just being a girl is a sufficient excuse.

yes it is.
Try dealing with some of the posh muppets whos cars I've worked on, that has been quite amusing at times. Like the girl who was too busy to buy oil, and the engine went bang at the end of my yard :smt044

I think I should know better really. I'm not a complete thicko. I must admit that I am pretty clueless about cars but that's due to laziness and never having to service them or fix them myself.

OK well theres usually a little flap thing at the back, and on some cars you put your key in and theres a cap you can unscrew,
http://www.envirogas.co.uk/img/images/capfull.jpg
its sort of the "done thing" to go to a thing called a "petrol station," which can usually be identified by a big lit up board outside with things writted on it like "unleaded" and "diesel."

When you find these things you can unscrew the little cap thing and put some fuel in there, I'm sure the people at the petrol station will be willing to help if you struggle with that :p
(yes, I am very bored)
That is SOOOOOOOOOO a typical bloke comment.

I can not deny this. :!: :lol:

i agree

A gentleman never contradicts a lady, thus I agree too - it's just good manners.

Oh right, that would explain it. I guess.

Yeh happened to girl at work, i asked her about it and she was asked at the garrage if she saw the red light on the dash and a message saying the car needed oil, she said yes but though nothing about it and just let it go bang. Ouch the bill.

Or the Corriton Interchange! That's the only one I ever hear about on Radio Wales travel! (and I'm sad, I had to drive the M4 just to find it!)
And PS
Whilst you like flaming women with looking after cars, I have to post about my ex husband. Water warning light kept coming on in the car, every time I nagged him about it, he said it was an electrical fault which caused the light to come on.
I managed to borrow the car for work, but took it to the garage, where it was found that the head gasket had gone, but because he'd driven it so much (Warwick to Northampton every day for a month) it had warped so much that the bill was over a grand.

Funny that you say that, in our house Mr Lou does all the cooking, I'm useless at it. Have just been away for a week without Mr Lou, and my brother bought me lots of jars of sauces etc for Christmas, so that I wouldn't go hungry!!!
I'm usually mowing the lawns in the summer when he calls me in for dinner.:D
