I guess I should be happy they are, which I am, but somewhat irritated that a dealer I've dealt with for my last few motors is giving me a crappy deal on a car they would charge top dollar for as it's their brand.
That's because Renault know the electrics are:
a) not working
b) about to stop working

Get it round to Honda quick. :D

Not having that. Never in automotive history has a moron set foot in a beamer.

I was shocked when I realised it was a beamer. Usually their drivers keep a safe distance and never drive like utter bells.

Did this this morning.

Had the kids in the car, just about to drive off when I realised I didn't have it. 5 minutes back inside the house looking, but couldn't find it anywhere. So had to drop them off and come back to the house to look again. Eventually found it hung up in the wardrobe in yesterdays trousers. Headbanger

That's not losing it, that's temporarily misplacing it.

Mine is lost lost, in the back of a cab most likely never to be seen again. 5 separate debit/credit cards to cancel, driving license, numerous other membership cards etc and worst of all a caffe nero loyalty card with a full 9 stamps thus entitling me to a FREE coffee.

Pedant!

Couldn't be in the back of a cab, else you wouldn't have been able to pay for the journey as you got out...

Edit: Unless it was an Uber!! :D

You lost a hat whilst you were wearing it?
That takes some doing I would have thought.

Deffo wouldn't have taken it off. I need a haircut so the hat was masking the terrible bonce. I was pretty merry but in no way completely smashed. When i'm really drunk i dont remember anything yet i remember the whole of the night. Tis a mystery.

Maybe its like when people say they have lost their glasses and then realise they are actually wearing them.

Have a double check and make sure the hat is not on your head. :wink:

Airport terminals, and in particular the fact that most have been renovated or designed such that passengers are forced to walk through the duty free section before reaching their gates.

Firstly they tend to be windy paths to ensure potential customers pass as many different products as possible and secondly I do not want to try Laphroaig whisky or Hugo Boss aftershave at 6.30 in the b*stard morning!!!

Grrrrrr . . . . .

That reminds me, the bloody skybridge at Gatwick that plays sounds from Yangtze out the hundred speakers next to the walkway. Had to go along it twice recently... does my nut.
