Just went out and there's a for sale sign on the house across the road. The caravan, the trailer, the two cars are gone. This is the same cunt who floors his hotted up torana down the street every weekend and then revs his car outside my place while his wife moves the 2 cars so he can put precious back in the yard. He also yells at his 2 little kids aggressively. Fucking hero. Best day ever.

Lady in office today has no concept of an indoor voice.
Mentioned it to my boss and he said that's why he never comes in on Wednesdays.
argh, beautiful day wasted waiting for REA π
Outside of here the internet is so loudly full of young teens and children. I avoid anywhere they might be expected to hang around and move to places for adults - but they are also there and thatβs actually worse.
Not a new thing but now they donβt hide their ages and in fact they make it your problem. The behaviour is also much more inappropriate and disruptive.
Please just let me enjoy my downtime or occupy myself when unwell. -_-
What a beautiful day outside today.
Oh itβs so glorious.
a nice beach day
Something disastrous happened the other day. We eat a lot of pine nuts so whilst in aldi I thought I'd grab some more. I didn't check. Just through them in like an amateur. Well, when I got home, I realised they were pepita seeds. Some turd put them in the pine nut box! Wtf am I gonna do with pepita seeds? I already have some in the cupboard. Luckily I have cashews to save the day.
My own fault for not checking that one time.
Pepitas are nice. Different flavour to pine nuts but equally snackable. Use in pesto, roast gently and sprinkle with salt & chilli powder for snax. Add to salads etc. Grind to a paste and mix with tahini/lemon/garlic for a different hommous. Truth to tell, I like them better than pine nuts - more options to tweak the flavours.
They're glorified bird seed. The only thing I use them in is muesli bars.
I just got confirmation the car dealer has received my bank transfer. So I can now stop stressing & the pickup tomorrow is ready to go.
Now I'll have to get used to the blinkers being on the other side. Plus the fuel tank is on the opposite side to what I'm used to. At least it's not as much of an adjustmant as Mr Woof will have to make, he'll need to get used to travelling in a crate instead of having the whole back seat.
you get used to the indicator pretty quickly, its only an issue if your driving 2 cars that have indicators on different sides to each other.
I used to drive a Volvo, so have done the indicator switch before. I still occassionally do the wrong side for absolutely no reason. When I drove my Mum's VW for a week I got it right about 90% of the time.
yeah the mrs had a ford that was the oposite as well. Try driving 2 cars with different handbreak locations. The amount of times I start the manual without putting the clutch in (or go to press an imaginary clutch on the auto) is insane.
Iβm currently driving 2 cars, 1 with auto handbrake and one with manual. Iβve tried to drive with the manual handbrake still on more than once
why isnβt the car moving?! Whatβs that odd noise?
lol yep done that one too. The auto takes its handbreak off as soon as you put it in drive or reverse. The manual very much does not.
Regarding the fuel tank side...when in doubt, there should be an arrow on your fuel gauge showing you where the tank is.
There is. But it's on the opposite side to the car I have now (and I think every car I have ever had) so I'm sure I'll autopilot to the wrong side at least once. I'm guessing the 3d or 4th time I fill up.
I've had my car 18 months and I don't fill up that often, maybe once every three or four weeks. I have to check which side every single time. It's getting annoying.
I've got a harness and a clip leash that clicks into the passenger seat belt receiver, but also my dog is little.
Mr Woof is fairly little too, but I believe the air bag can make the passenger seat unsafe for dogs (like it is for children).
I've been trying to figure out if it would be unsafe for a cat in a carrier, but the info I find is all self-contradictory AI garbage and clickbait websites copying each other rather than anything that seems like it is actually trustworthy.
Yeah, good call. I got no airbags. Maybe a baby carrier?
Iβm not sure if this is best practice. But when Melbcat goes in the car I put her carrier side-on behind the driver and use the bottom of the seatbelt to secure it.
That's always been Miss Meow's position. I believe either there or on in the footwell behind the front seats is the best place, but I won't have any back seats in the new vehicle. If the front seat is safe for her that would work well, otherwise she will need to be strapped down in her carrier in the back. She's going to hate it either way, although the sedatives the vet gave us should help.
Sorry, missed seeing that there were no back seats so my advice wasnβt too useful.
Iβm no expert, just once heard the safest place in a crash was behind the driver and the most dangerous the front passenger seat. I guess wherever her carrier can be secured works.
And I always put her side-on so in case of a sudden stop her shoulder or flank hopefully takes the bump rather than her head or spine.
