In the car I shredded a tyre on the M40 at High Wycombe today. Well I thought I may as well see how long it would take for Volvo Assistance to come and fix it, 25 mins in fact from call to driving off. Impressive
![]() ![]() ![]() Stood by the motorway watching all these cretins driving nose to ass at 80 - 90mph. In the car you can't see how impossible it would be to stop in that distance... stood by the motorway it looked suicidal. Oh and we persuaded the law firm we saw to hire us for consultancy advice ![]() |

So You are one of those Non-men that get someone else to change a tyre!!!
Ed, I'm ashamed to know you! ![]() Put a kit in the car so you can clean your hands (you can get swarfega wipes and a bottle of water)and a set of overalls... and rejoin the sex with testosterone! and PLEASE tell me you aren't one of those men that pee's in the cubical when there are perfectly good urinals free!! ![]() C Last edited by Berlin; 08-10-11 at 05:41 AM. |

Suited, best shirt etc. I can change a wheel perfectly well!!! - but much easier for Volvo to do it with a hydraulic jack
![]() And no Carl I p*ss standing up, and I don't care who sees me no I don't use the bloody cubicle!!!! But yes I do wash my hands, now there's a thought, at Warwick Services about half the bog users did not!!!! Ewwwwww!!!!! Disgusting!!!!!! V excited about this job, it's an 'ethnic minority' firm. What lovely people they were - and I'm certain that we will get on really well. And, we'd like some work from their friends.... Nearly £200 on a new Michelin (I don't do cheap Chinese stuff) will hurt a bit. Trev I didn't know you were any place near, else I'd have asked for cake too ![]() Last edited by Kilted Ginger; 08-10-11 at 05:41 PM. |
