And smelling of doggie doo doo?

True, and of course, not forgetting the mould/fungal outbreak that was growing on the leather steering wheel, gaiter and gear knob :P

The dog declined to repeat her performance: preferring the lush lawn

In all seriousness, if you have that much mould just get rid. Opening the door would cause spores to be airborne and is a health hazard

It was a small bloom, not covered in a deep spongy layer - I wiped it off with Autoglym Leather & Vinyl Cleaner.

I might actually get round to selling it (the Astra: not fungus) this week. :)

I hope you aren't still considering "giving" it away for £20-odd? If it still starts and drives you could get £150 at least.

Not £20 odd: £175- £225 odd with all the spare parts I've accumulated for it, or £150-£180 on it's own

It starts, drives and is MOT'd until March

I don't like too many choices at route 5 restaurant...

Ranch combo - full rack of ribs, half chicken and steak

Or the big one: steak, gammon steak, chicken breast, pork steak, sausages and two eggs... :/

Oooh....another eatery I don't know

Must be Devonian restaurant

I've been eating a part of the second half of a large gala pork pie that I made last month. I ate the first half, and froze the second half.

The hard-boiled eggs have altered their structure upon being frozen, then thawed The whites have separated into layers and have become rubbery, not an unpleasant rubbery though, still eggy: but different

Really? Give it a quick valet (I.E. get rid of the dog excrement smell) and stick it on Gumtree: "Vauxhall Astra, reliable *cough cough* run-around with 4 months MOT - £300 cash".

It would sell in less then an hour. Well, it would here (or maybe I'm just very lucky when it comes to selling cars!).

We used to routinely dose up on Immodium just in case.

Nothing worse than going on guard and feeling an ominous gurgle.

When off guard we used to neck a litre of orange juice straight down to counteract the Immodium and brace for fallout.

Hahahaha, the immodium after issues are a nightmare.. Can be like trying to start a tractor left in the field for a couple of years....

That much? :)

And I thought I might be pushing it asking £225 with the parts

As I say, maybe where you live you would only get a couple of hundred.

Here in Scotland people would pay £300 for a car they could drive for 4 months maintenance free. Heck, I'd pay that (if it weren't a Vauxhall...).

Then again, perhaps I'm just lucky. After all, I did buy a Volvo V40 with 3 months MOT for £100 then sold it 2 and a half months later (with an extra 3k on the clock and 2 weeks MOT remaining) for £220.

This is the place (well group, it's a small chain)

Went for something smaller in the end, realised the wife wouldn't eat all hers, so I'd have to finish that...

LOL :D :D

I might have just sold it, between last posting on here and texting a mate, who happens to be my MOT tester, for test for my Mum's Mk1 this week.

My mate's son is looking for something "cheap, cheap to insure and cheap to run" to get him around whilst he saves for a house deposit.

That looks like a good place to eat too :)

Couldn't Pret help your wife out, or would that lead to barfing later?

LOL :D :D

When you say you are trading it for the test of the Focus, I hope it is an "honest" test

Two quite separate transactions. Not trading one for the other

I always get my MOT's at trade rate from him, it's just the test mind you, he doesn't do any repairs on my vehicles - unless for some odd reason I can't, such a limb breakage, hospitalisation etc., coincides with an MOT fail with no spare to run on the old certificate.

It's his son in London that wants the cheap runaround

Ah I see. It sounded like you said you had "sold it for a test for the MK1". Brain isn't working quite right after 8 hours at hell. Well, it doesn't work right anyway, but its functionality is even lower on week days.

The older cat has bought me present :( , it's still warm :( yet quite limp :(

I think it was a shrew, or possibly a vole, or less so, a mouse with a nasal deformity

It's times like this I'm glad Buttons no longer ventures outside.

Not sure if it's a "I don't like" or rather "I flipping hate" adverts on everything for !Removed! I will never buy.

If I need or want something I will buy it, if I don't then I am not going to buy it no matter how many adverts you cram into my flipping face, you bunch or mother clucking bankers.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Adverts make my waste water boil lol

I thought the older cat Bunty had given up hunting, clearly she's keeping her paws in, just to show she still can. We've been shrew/vole/mouse present free for a couple of years: until now :(

The younger cat Molly, so far, hasn't been successful in her pigeon intimidating/hunting ventures.

Channel 4 on demand is one of the worst offenders I watched something the other day, which 24 minutes long, there were 14 minutes of adverts spread between three segments, some which demanded interaction before the program would resume

The weather for today

I hate adverts as well... I mostly watch BBC tbh, but they're doing away with the best channel (BBC3!) soon...that's something else I don't like lol.

I thought BBC3 was moving to to online only, rather than being abandoned altogether; as they were proposing previously.

The younger cat has decided that the artificial flowers are far more fun, than her cat toys: a decimated chrysanthemum now adorns the stairs and a deconstructed daisy has been scattered around the hall :(

It will be online only yeah, but then I've got to go through extra effort of turning the PC on, letting it warm up, listening to it's fan noise over the program and waiting for buffering every few minutes. Hopefully they'll put the best stuff on BBC2 instead, they charge enough for the licence!
