Lol, that's not really the way to do it!

When using waste veg it needs to be a filtered a bit better than that, water needs removing as well.  I daren't think how often he has to change the fuel filter lol![emoji23]

Fresh veg is still cheap from Costco etc though, no filtering hassle and half the price of diesel!!  The downside for me is the chip shop smell though, can't stand it lol!

This is the same chap who collects and saves urine, both his, his wife,  and his guests, for his compost bin as an accelerator

In his loo, there's are several 10 litre jugs, in various states of fill.  Upon the cistern is a sign saying "No.2 in the loo - No.1 in the jugs - Thankyou"

 

The house must stink.

Stale urine is vile.

It does.

His guests only visit the once

He must like the motorway service station urinal atmosphere.

I'd pour bleach in his stash to really tick him off.

I wonder if he went to Indonesia and was served  durian fruit, he'd utter "Oooh they smell just like home"

It's a mystery how his wife puts up with it

Hmm, on an N reg, I wonder if that 406 has a Bosch fuel pump?  Easy to tweak for a bit more oomph AND can run veg oil with no issues...  

I do believe the 405 XUD9s had Bosch fuel pumps, which were surprisingly durable (our last one survived my mother filling it with petrol!).

If I could find a way to get vegetable oil in large enough quantities to support my traveling (300 miles per week) then I'd happily do so, but I'm not too confident that I could find such a resource...

The early ones use a Bosch, the later ones use a Lucas....which is rubbish tbh lol, doesn't take to veg well and difficult to tune.  Not sure when the crossover was on the 405s though!  I know people that do a lot more miles than that on veg per week, most run fresh veg from Macro or Costco.

I don't like that Brandy keeps getting her rear paw and harness entangled in the seat belts at the back of the Mk1 Focus

Her crate doesn't fit easily in the hatchback, she has a travel harness for unsuitable cars which is connected into the fastened seat belt.

Not quite sure how she manages it.  On the way back from doing the mail, she let out a rally yaps of pain.  Pulling over and looking round, not only had she entangled he rear paw in the belt whilst trying untangle it, she'd trussed herself up

 

Have you tried one of these instead?-

Now that's a good idea, that would reduce the entanglement of paw and belt

thanks Clive

Glad to help.

Got one of those, pret hates not having free roam

I don't like having a rest day half way through the week and knowing that I'll have to work Saturday now... 

I don't like the rain intensifying, just when I'm going back and forth to the recycling bin outside, whilst I sort out the contents of the kitchen and house bins

I'm quite moist now, through two layers

Is a rest day different from a day off?  It sort of implies you're being paid to rest: as opposed to a non-paid day off

Does Pret have a travel harness that you connect it to?

It's just one of the two days off per week, we call them "rest days" at our work though.  Makes sense, as to me a "day off" is a holiday/leave. 

I don't like how I'm feeling at the moment, I've changed what I'm doing at work & there is a fair bit of pressure, be even more next week when the boss is back from holiday.  At the moment the pressure is all self inflicted as what I am now doing, is something I enjoy & something I want to do really well, so obviously everything is OCD at the moment.  I also don't like that, other than work I don't really have a hobby, anything other than work to talk about, no interest in anything other than work & then the all important NO MONEY, people all think I'm miserable, that's because I am lol.  

I don't like that I'm finding it even more increasingly difficult to get out now.    Getting to the point where I'd rather not go out at all, but am bored stiff at home as well.

Think I've gotta accept I won't have a social life or hobbies any time soon, but I REALLY need something to distract from life and put structure into the day.  Want to work from home if I can but I don't even know where to look for home jobs, or if I can do any work as I'm currently signed off as unfit, or if I'll immediately lose illness benefits if I try working.  Seems to be an impossible situation and I really don't know what to do.

That's life I'm afraid.  Unless you have a slow-paced, high-paid, non-tiring, part-time job then you will find it hard to have hobbies.  As for money, well, we're all in that boat.  At least you have something to show for your work (a house you will eventually own and a 2011 Ford Focus), by comparison I've got a 2-bed council semi and a 2005 Nissan Primera with over 200,000 miles on the clock. 

I read a quote recently that was good:

"If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back"

Things could be much worse for all of us.  Even if you live on the dole in a 1-bedroom flat, you are better off than thousands of homeless people.

Don't like having flu for a week now, bored at home watching daytime TV.

I don't like working out that my total income this month is less than £950, and my total outgoings are more than £1,100.  As they say, "something's gotta give". 

Really doesn't give me much motivation to go to work every day, knowing that the salary I'm earning won't even cover all my bills.

Yea I often think, "there's people that would love to be in my situation/there is always someone worse off than me"  It's like we don't know what hunger/thirst is, we don't know what it's like to live without sanitation/shelter etc, there is so much we take for granted, even people, yet we all just shrug it off " oh it's not my problem" which is the trouble with todays people.  The way it's gone now....  "Things were made to be liked/used & people were made to love"  & it's gone the opposite way now.  Money makes the world go round, corruption etc.

Exactly.  Money is the worst thing in this world - it is more devastating than any weapon out there - because we are ALL affected by it.  I wish we could have no money and simply have a system whereby if you work hard, you can get whatever you need/want.  That would have to be within reason though, and the problem is that people would take advantage of such a system, so it will never happen. 

The way is and will always be, that the poor get poorer and the rich get richer, mainly thanks to those Tory "see you next Tuesdays".

17 gruelling years of Labour rule here in Wales has done little to nothing to improve the lot of the less well off.

Labour made P.F.I.'s an art form - committing the U.K. taxpayer to repay hundreds of billions in loans to wealthy investors

Blair took the U.K. into an illegal war - costing billions that could & should have been spent in the U.K.

Gordon '' the clown'' Brown abolished the 10p rate of income tax - instantly doubling the tax rate for the less well off.

The same idiot sold off most of the U.K.'s gold reserves at giveaway prices

He also raided the pension pots of millions of U.K. pensioners to be - instantly making private pensions almost pointless

Practically every Labour constituency in the Country is a dire place to live with the poor kept poor by Labour's welfare policies . . .

There's only 3 ways out of this I'm afraid : 1 earn more . . .  2 spend less . . . 3 do both. All easier said than done, but none are impossible.

I don't like that I cannot make use of the bright warm sunny day that will unfold down here, as today it's back to back paperwork with additional paperwork wedged in the gaps

In contrast to the weekend forecast, which is naturally rain, more rain, some northerly wind bringing even more rain.  When I have planned to do stuff to outside, pressure washing the drive is probably the only task that can be undertaken in the rain.

 

At the risk of continuing this thread as a political thread, as mentioned above, 17 yrs of labour rule has clearly done wonders, Jamie, you're 21 right? So the majority (if not all) of your conscious life has been ruled by labour yet you consider the Tories to be the ones to blame?

Mate you've GOT a job, it might suck and you might hate it, but the alternative is labour which is a vote for an entirely welfare state propped up by the employed..YOU and indeed those rich politicians and their tax money!

Labour is such a joke that even the tradesmen I have working ATM vote conservative!
