Just a quickie from me before I take my car in for its annual major service. If there are any female mechanics there I might ask then if I can have a one too!!
Elise, North Shields folks are a different breed from South Shields folks. They live on the other, undeveloped side of the river Tyne. If you've ever seen the film 'Deliverance', you'll get the idea. Your poor auntie Joyce wouldnt have been able to afford the ferry to the bright lights of South Shields.....she may never have even heard of the place.
I remember the hey days of the 60s and 70s when there were about 15 nightclubs on the South Side, and at 2.30am all the rowdier clubbers would head for the banks of the Tyne, (with air rifles) and take pot shops at the 'rednecks' having moonlight sex on the north bank! LMAO
Now.........I really must dash...but it was so NICE ro reminisce... ROFLMBO!!
Yes that dance was good wasn't it! I have used it many times since and I think it impresses everyone! So much so that last time I danced these two INSISTED they wanted to be photographed with me.
Good luck with the car George. I have a female mechanic, the things she can do with my dip-stick you would not believe.
Bloody 'ell, she wouldn't need a trolley jack would she??? lol
I'm in shock tonight. The bill for my effing car service came to £577. Streeeewwwwth. You can buy a new car for that in Jarrow! But Elise tells me she paid even more for a service on her Ford Focus. Thieves, robbers, vagabonds, I say!
Here's an appropriate one from PAULINE:
IRISH DIESEL FITTER
Pat and Mick were both laid off, so they went to the unemployment office. When asked his occupation,
Pat answered 'Knicker Stitcher, I sew da elastic onto ladies' knickers and thongs.'
The clerk looked up Knicker Stitcher on his computer and, finding it classified as unskilled labour, he gave him 80 pounds a week unemployment pay.
Mick was next in and when asked his occupation replied, 'Diesel Fitter.'
Since a diesel fitter was a skilled job, the clerk gave Mick 160 pounds a week.
When Pat found out he was furious and He stormed back into the office to find out why his friend and co-worker was collecting double his pay.
The clerk explained, 'Knicker Stitchers are unskilled labour and Diesel Fitters are skilled labour.'
'What skill?' yelled Pat 'I sew da elastic on da knickers and thongs, then Mick puts 'em over his head and says: 'Yep, diesel fitter.'
Our old Audi, which son is using, just broke its cam belt. Cam belt £25 Fitting it and replacing all the broken valves in the cylinder head £840. UUURRGH!!!

ReplyDeleteI've just paid out £299 for this years service and MOT as well as next years, when they quoted £349 +29 fo the MOT plus VAT just for this year !!
ReplyDeleteOur old Audi, which son is using, just broke its cam belt.
ReplyDeleteCam belt £25
Fitting it and replacing all the broken valves in the cylinder head £840.

ReplyDeleteunattractive alternative....
Room here for the shopping & the missus....

Careful John!!
ReplyDeleteLots of people in the Midlands around Birmingham changed to Mopeds and Scooters to save money!!
Here is the result, this is the Birmingham exit of the M6.
