Radiohead. Fucking Radiohead.
Bjork, was banging love granted, not my thing.

Couples, it's OK not to do everything together, esp. things you know you'll hate. Both my long-term GFs insisted going to gigs together, with me, not with each other, they were consecutive GFs, so I had to suffer through boybands and they endured Tom Waits etc. It's not healthy.

What car would you trust to get you to 300,000 miles (482,803 km) ?

@MattTakeThree Have you ever owned one Matt? I remember the days of the battle between the Impreza and the Mitsubishi Evo......you were either camp Impreza or Camp Evo you HAD to choose 🤣🤣

@Tedisiek @Moneypenny0072 Saab is always on a token 20 quid nowadays

@MattTakeThree @Moneypenny0072 That reminds me must fit a new fuel flap lock solenoid to the Volvo. It sometimes carries twice its value in diesel (at current prices)

@Tedisiek @Moneypenny0072 Yep, even worse with work vehicles.
Saab? Don't even lock it

Same. I got to the stage with that xc90 we had where it kept me awake at night with some random problem or other. With the Porsche I was always worried about someone damaging it or something major going wrong. At some point fancy cars start to own you and cause more stress than they are worth. Nice to have had them. No regrets however more important things in life to focus on.

I don’t know about you guys, but if I were in the market for a pickup truck with knobby looking truck tires I wouldn’t be concerned about road noise at all.

Got the Rivian! But the k03 AT tires seem really loud. I measured the DB at about 76 when going 65 mph. I got them balanced which helped a little but any Rivian owners have advice? I am thinking I might sell the k03s on Facebook and get some Michelin all seasons if I can't figure out another solution.

@Tedisiek @Moneypenny0072 Hard relate, I don't miss fretting about cars

Driving sheds is actually refreshing. No need to visit main dealers. Fix in the garage yourself. No payments. Don’t care if the toddler scratches the seats. Don’t worry where it’s parked etc.
It’s absolutely fine as child transport.
Have 2 others too but this one does the bulk of the work now and the little Saxo is just a toy.

@MattTakeThree I work in an office as parts manager for a forklift company. 90% desk job 10% dealing with parts/ checking stuff in workshop, so always dark clothes. Mainly black jeans, navy company polo and sweatshirt in winter. I do go for thinner trousers in summer.

@MattTakeThree @houghtonc79 Can't go wrong with M&S ones. Although I tried the most expensive ones on first and nearly got put off. Tried the midrange offering and they fit much better. I've got pretty big cyclist's legs so fit is sometimes tricky.

@pedalsandgears See, I was on board. But FORTY SEVEN.
I'm not old enough for a saving account, to know what an ISA is.

@MattTakeThree I just started wearing them at 47 for work now I work in an office, but actually they are more comfortable than jeans and have started wearing them outside of work too!
