same here. near the end, it felt like i had a broken rib. i just put it down to a bad tough. but it wasn't manflu so i was lucky.

I've not been unlucky enough to break a rib, but I've crack/bruised a few and it hurt like a bastard.

Quote from thisnameistaken :

I take less sick days than anyone I know (I don't have much choice, I'm self-employed), and I can't remember ever having anybody nursemaid me ever, thank you very much you ****ers.

This is something entirely new, to me anyway. My girlfriend who I've lived with for ten years says she has never seen me this sick.

Unlucky bruv. You probably have swine flu. You should eat more bacon, that shit will cure swine flu and everything else for that matter.

Nah, I am just a virus fighting machine. One of my doctors claimed I had pneumonia one year but my natural awesomeness cured me from it as I refused to be treated in hospital (at the hight of MRSA). I still maintain that I had a slight cough, but the doc was adamant it was pneumonia.

That is because real men don't get it.

So many people seem to be coming down with "flu" this season. I think they are just massive pussies and have a slight cold. Just walk it off.

You stand on your own in a car park and they drive a car at you sideways at 70mph, and you have to run out of the way. For an hour.

That actually sounds fun. Where do I sign up?

All sounds good to me. I like to build a small collection of drinks, most of which will mature for a year or so before I open them. Right now it has some lighter drinks, so Jameson's, Teachers, Bushmills, the usual suspects.

I am currently working my way through this website. Starting with the comical named drinks first, so naturally Piston Broke was one of the first on my menu.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

Being a motorcyclist and speaking to bike coppers, most of them operate on the "common sense of safety" principle as oppposed to actual speed limits..most traffic cops do the same but then you have some arsey ones, but ain't life just a bunch of roses...

Russian cargo flights into Afghan run similar rules. No one will tell you to park it or buckle up. But when you fall over and break your neck it was your own dumb fault.

It has also been proven by studies that if a speed limit is felt to be pointless by road users, they are more likely to flout it. So this push by the idiots to get the national speed limit down to 50 is going to increase speeding. Which means more speed cameras snap more speeders and the gov't gets richer. So naturally they like the idea. Or at least Labour did, the Tories haven't specified their opinion on it yet.

Quote from Billeh :

oops never checked that sorry Still a cracking nip

You can't beat a good winter warmer. I got put off whisk(e)y for a while, but after trying quite a few fancy ones, I love the stuff again.

Can't say I have tried that though, will have to add a few bottles to the rack.

Speed cameras are nothing but a cash cow and very inefficient at cutting accidents. Better road markings brings down the accident rate better than a speed camera, but good road markings don't generate millions of pounds for the central government each year, so as you can imagine, they aren't breaking their balls to use them.

Quote from Billeh :

Lovely drop of proper whiskey best £40 i spent in a while

I'd have thought you'd know better.

It is Whisky because it is Scottish. Whiskey is everything else.

Oh I am well aware of that, I took part in that party too.

Blimey, I didn't know there were so many chicks on here.

If you ever need a Stonesoft Firewall Solution, Sonicwall IPS solution, Shoretel Phone Solution or just some general computer networking assistance...hire me mate. £18k/+ benefits. :hide:

Here Physco, read this and weep...in my (chavvy) Corsa, my friend lost one of the headlight clips so when I came to fit my HID's they wouldn't stay in...so what I did was bodge it with gaffa tape for about a month, which worked quite well actually, and then when my friend fitted non genuine Vauxhall Corsa facelift lights (the angel eyes), I jacked his clips which were too big, slightly bent them so they sort of stayed in place and wrapped the whole thing in gaffa tape!

Also I took it to Halfords to get the wiper blades changed...reason being it took me 25 minutes last time I tried, fiddly little bastards.

You can't beat a botch. I need a new rear cluster (the contact patches for the brake/tail light has worn so it keeps shorting), but being a tight bastard, I applied liberal amounts of solder. Won't last forever, but will do the job for now.

Seriously? I takes no longer than 10 minutes in the snow with frozen hands to change a set of blades and that includes putting the passenger side on wrong (I always put the passenger side on wrong, not sure why but every time I've changed blades, I did the passenger side wrong), taking it off and refitting it.

You just need to image it all in a exploded view, same works when working on anything, mentally image it exploded view so you know how it works and can put it back together.

Quote from Jakg :

Learnt how to pimp new car (before I got the ZT I took it to a garage to change a headlight bulb ffs!)

You have no idea how many people who drove tarted up cars came to my old garage to get a bulb changed. One of them tried it, ****ed up then came to us to sort out his problems. Which in this case he snapped off the clips the retaining pin holds onto and because he didn't want to buy a new headlight housing, I had to botch the bulb into place.

Some people shouldn't be allowed to own a toolbox. This specific chap would boast for weeks how he just installed a new turbo kit (it was a slightly breathed on STi), yet couldn't install a bulb without ****ing it up. Something tells me he lied about the turbo.

3D SexVilla is an interesting simulator outside of LFS.

Started making a Secret Volcano Lair.

Heh, this game is like crack. It took a while for me to get it working (Laptop graphics are always an issue, so I had to setup a .bat file with some java commands in), but yeah, I've chose a shit place to build my shagpad as there are no good resources, but still, fun fun fun.

I did, I checked about 5 seconds before opening this thread. Rather chuffed.

Only in GMT, you racist.

Quote from e2mustang :

ye sure @ 19. when i was 19 i worked 16 hours a day 6 days a week,and baerly could afford a 97 civic

I worked as a label printer for a bacon factory 8 hours a day. I only worked Saturday and Sundays which gave me more wages over those two days than my dad made all week and when I did a short spell of 12 hour days I thought I'd hit the lottery. I had way more cash than I ever knew what to do with, so I saved half and spent half. I still had way too much disposable income and I quickly hit thousands in my savings.

Or he has a job. Living alone means you can spend all of your cash on a hobby.

Train Horn-


Train: WATCH OUT. WATCH OUT, I AM A TRAIN.

Me: Ah! Jesus, what time is it?

Train: I AM THE 3AM TRAIN OUTSIDE YOUR WINDOW. DON'T GO ONTO THE TRACKS!

Me: Wha- It's three o'clock in the morning. I was asleep, in my bed. In my home.

Train: CAN'T STOP TO TALK. I HAVE TO DELIVER A VERY IMPORTANT SHIPMENT OF NOTHING AT ALL. WATCH OUT FOR ME, THE TRAIN.

Me: I am not watching out. I am going back to sleep.

Train: WE COULD TALK A LITTLE, IF YOU WANT. I AM VERY LONELY!

Alarm: EVERYTHING IS ON FIRE EVERYWHERE.

Me: Damn it. (retrieving stepladder)

Alarm: ALL THINGS THAT EVER WERE OR EVER WILL BE ARE NOW ABLAZE. ABANDON YOUR HOPES AND YOUR CHILDREN AND FLEE.

Me: (jabbing at smoke alarm with broom)

Me: How does that feel? Good?

Girlfriend: Meh.

Radiator: CLANG CLANG GODDAMNIT.

Me: Oh no not tonight shut up man, shut up.

Radiator: DID SOMEONE DIAL UP SOME HEAT ABOUT THREE HOURS AGO? CAUSE WE ABOUT TO GET MAD COZY ALL UP IN HERE.

Girlfriend: What is that noise? Is that your radiator?

Radiator: EL HEAT IS ON ITS WAY. JUST GIVE ME A COUPLE HOURS TO DO MY THING.

Girlfriend: It sounds like two steel drums humping. Ugh, I'm getting a headache.

Me: I can turn it off. (Twists dial)

Radiator: AW NUH-UH MAN YOU DONE AWOKE THE BEAST. WE FINISHIN' THIS.

Girlfriend: I'm sorry, it's freezing in here, and my head hurts. I'm gonna go.

Me: No, wait! I can throw a towel over it or something!

Girlfriend: I'll see you later.

Radiator: DRUM SOLO YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHH

Try to recover from a massive hangover by drinking more booze, maybe eat some food drink more booze open some gifts, drink some more booze and probably even more booze.

Christmas is a pointless holiday, I've been campaigning all year to have it cancelled, but to no avail.

Can you blame them? Hahaha!

I found myself in a similar situation (had to stop on an icy hill only to slide back into a guys driveway). But he wouldn't tow me out because his 10 plate Disco "doesn't weigh enough to tow". So I had to dig myself out. >.<

Moved from a town that is going to go the way of the old coal mine towns.

That is all.
