Shame Mav hope he lived life to the full.

My gripe today. Oil pump gone on the Meriva. Not moaning about the car as I paid >£500 for it 2.5 years ago and it's only cost me the usual consumables and two MOT repairs at >£70 each. Looking for another £500's worth and going to be skint for a bit. With my current health, fixing it myself is not going to happen.

Good news found out it's a faulty switch. Told a mechanic friend who said "bet it's the switch, we change loads of em" and he's right.

Yes a fun packed life and got an MBE. Two previous wives, and was living with his current partner since 2002.

Two nice kids

So yes, a full life. One wife and two kids is enough for me!

Bit like forms that get mailed to your house that ask you to add your address....

Or filling stations that ask which is your vehicle/pump as you go to pay wearing a helmet.

I say mines the blue car, but my driving isn't very good.

Customers that come into my shop 10 minutes before closing and either want you to do something that will take 30 minutes or want to buy something but can't decide what they want and **** you about for ages. Even dropping hints like lowering shutters etc has no effect on them.
