Severe weather warning for Northern UK

tallbloke says...

My daughter Caz has had a big branch from next door's tree hit and dent
the wing and bonnet of her 3 week old Accord co-car. She's not happy.

 

Stuff it - it's a company car.

 

The Older Gentleman says...

I take pride in handing back company cars in very good condition. So
does she.

 

So, curiously, did I, but if a chunk of tree blows onto it in a storm,
it's hard to feel responsible.

 

The Older Gentleman says...

She's more sick because the car is only 3 weeks old, and it's a lovely
car.

 

And misspelt Birmingham.

 

I suppose I can get pissed off at damage to a machine - well, I do - but
it's not the end of the world, really.

 

Car looks ok, flashing over the porch looks a bit gash though.

 

Make fuel injectors too as used on my overtall Guzzi Quota.

 

Trying to write another one off?

 

About as well built as the ramp onto your driveway then.

 

As I said, that's next door.

Hmm... That is water, not petrol, on the ground at the front is it?

A naked fatblade's worse than a faired one?

<shudder>

 

The problem with the ramp onto the driveway is that it isn't finished.

Another layer of tarmac needs to go on both our road and the ramp up onto
the drive, without it the paving at the top of the drive is proud by a
couple of inches.

However, given that we've only been living in the house for 2.5 years we're
probably being unrealistic to expect them to have finished it by now.

I managed to stay in the lane I was in but was blown about all over
that. Wild it was and took most of my concentration.

 

A man of your word then, just wait for some sick puppy to scream jpeg.

lol.

I had a similar dilemma once in Cape Town. Having sent a salesbody on
his way to catch the flight back to Jo'burg to go home to his wife and
kids, I had a bet with the remaining salesbody that the departee could
not be talked into coming back to the bar and staying over. "If you can
do that, I'll walk naked across this bar!".

Oh dear...

Anyway, it was generally agreed that that was beyond the bounds of taste
and decency, so I picked up the bar tab for a randomly-chosen couple of
honeymooners instead.

I used to have fun crossing the old Severn Bridge some days. I think
the operation was best described as tacking.
