I'm ditching Sky because my HD box has gone wonky and I don't fancy letting Sky help themselves to my entire bank balance for a new box on top of what they extort out of me each month. But to replace...
First thing in the morning my female boxer will go and have a big long pee in the gravelled part of my back garden while I prepare her breakfast. Then out on a walk, at several spots where she has had...
Read in the Express that Richard Madeley is going to be in the hot seat for radio 2 for the next two weeks. Bonza. Two weeks without that child Evans interfering with my commute. If I was the boss,...
Hey folks, any suggestions on how to dry out the interior of a car that has become soggy in a recent flood? The condensation has been a real pain but recently in the cold mornings it has been freezing...
I'd always been told by my parents and their parents who have a long history of cat ownership that big ears and black pads are a sure sign of a good hunter. Imagine then my disappointment last night,...
Why does my new kitten use my head as a pin cusion? Because of the snow last night I let the dog sleep in the drawing room so I took the cat up to bed with me. It was fine until about 5am when he got...
Why does this happen when it shouldn't? A couple of times at the shop my debit card has been declined but I knew there were sufficient funds available, they tried again and it went through. More...
A hot topic I don't doubt. Thousands of you do it. Here is my argument for it being outlawed. After being involved in a non-fault accident which immobilised my vehicle I got everyone out. I'd seen on...
Just got back from another overseas assignment. The car hired for me this time was a 2011 Skoda Fabia TSI. I am guessing it had a turbo bolted onto it, but what CC engine was this bolted to? Averaged...
When I was away on business, the trouble & strife swapped the car I carefully chose for her for one she liked the look of. She has ended up with a bit of a rot-box. Jacking point, as I found out...
This really annoys me, I'm rather tall and when given one of these as a courtesy or hire car it can obscure my view of the road. Peugeot 206, Renault Clio, Renault Scenic, Nissan Tino, why are the...
Late at night after the heavy rain. Driving slowly through the floodwater. It gets deeper and before I know it the water is above the bonnet and the engine dies. This really worries me as the car is a...
How often should this be done? Vehicle in question is a 2006 150bhp turbo-diesel Vectra 6 speed automatic. The book is full of rubbish relating to the dealer. I won't let them loose on my lawnmower...
Years ago before manufacture of these models were shifted abroad, the company car park consisted of the Ford Sierra (Dagenham Dustbin) and Vauxhall Cavalier (Luton Lavatory). Any other derogatory...
My son's kitten is 4 months old. Lifting up his tail I can see he is 'ready for action'. The vet won't neuter until 6 months old but as we also have a dog I'm worried the cat might initiate...
This bunch of shysters accosted me again on the way out of Tesco on Saturday trying to flog me their electricity. Does anyone know if their call center has learnt how to answer a telephone yet?
That may be a bit extreme for Fords of the last few years but I was surprised by this. The wife has a '98 Fiesta. The driver's door lock broke, it would lock but not unlock. So perhaps this is the...
When I first moved from the UK to Ireland I was gobsmacked when my insurance premium went from £400 fully comp to IE£800 third party. However, now I spend much of my time back in the UK I...
