    I have that feeling too,... its the drinking every night thing and getting
    up when I feel like it that I am gonna miss.

  3. That's why it's so hard for me to get another job when I decided to take
    a month off. It's been two months now but tomorrow I'll bugger off down
    the job centre and see what's about.

    I really want to do the HGV thing.

    Not for me...

    Been off work for nearly 3 years now and I don't plan on going back too
    quickly. But having said that, my degree is nearly over now, so I might well
    have to, as I'm skint.

    Baked beans and porridge, with the odd can of White Lightening thrown in for
    good measure, at a guess.

  10. IME, drinking White Lighning helps you forget how bad the beans and
    porridge are and eating them cold helps save electricity.

    Until you re-read the one from your boss and realise it actually says you
    have a 2.5k mailbox size rise.

    I've just gone through my first tank of petrol ... in 220 miles. It might
    be cheaper to have it blow up.

    Eek. But I bet its a bit quick though.

    Urm isn't it the Fiat Coupe where it takes a week to change the cambelt?

    It's fairly nippy, although I did get blown away by some tarted up Clio
    thing. TBH that was more down to me being a bit of a puff.
    Yeah, there are horror stories of it costing 1200-1500 quid, but there are
    plenty of independant specialists that can do it for 500 or less.

    Anyway, mine's just been done, so it's good for another 35k miles.

    I always put them in my cars and one of those life hammer thingies. It all
    depends on whether you've been in a burning car previously.

    I'm afraid I don't study it as closely as I should.

    Putting a fire extinguisher in this one? :)

    Having just purchased a car [1] I do keep looking at those small fire
    extinguishers and wondering if they're a good idea.


    [1] it's so nice to finally be able to carry shopping, flooring, the
    girlfriend etc in comfort and not requiring three layers of clothes and a
    strong case of denial. [2]

    [2] keeping the bike though - but it really will be for _fun_.

    Nah. I've been driving SOC for 15 years and only had one go up in flames,
    so I'll not worry about it too much.
    It might be worth having one in your garage, but I don't think I'd bother
    taking one everywhere with you.
