F**king stupid for anyone wanting to catch a film after work. There's been a couple of films where I ended up not bothering with as the timings were so unhelpful ( 9.20 on a sunday evening for the only showing ffs ). Sometimes cinemas don't help their own industry. Realistically you could add 30 minutes onto the scheduled times to account for the bazillion adverts, worked for me a couple of times (though was nearly caught out on the one occasion the film started immediately, no trailers, no nothing so your mileage might vary).

It's why I never go in the What Do You Drive thread. Zero interest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, I don't even have a car any more and don't miss it. My best mate loves them and I'm polite in that I try to show enough interest and nod at the correct times. I suppose I can show genuine enthusiasm towards Mustangs or Aston Martins but couldn't give a shit otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gf insisted she was a strong independent woman and didn't need my help buying her car. She paid for it on the first viewing, drove it home, proud as punch, oblivious to the 4 dents I noticed within seconds, that it was overdue for its timing belt replacement and only a few days later found out that the engine warning light comes on when she goes over 50. It's been really hard to stop taking the piss. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I hate going to garages, be it for an MOT or repairs...even though my brother is a mechanic it is still an alien environment. It is a world I do not belong on and they know it. I can see their eyes judging me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I'm not really a car person, but if I need to take mine in for a problem, I'll do my research first and see what the possible cause and cost is. There's not much you can't just Google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Always ask how much the bill was when my other half takes her car to the local garage. Fairly certain she gets a better price than I would've had I taken it in? It might be because she's a district nurse with a decent rack? Their loss, my blow jobs are better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KHV Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 The fact that the police have been given more government money to look for Madeleine McCann. Another £150k to take it to March next year. The total bill is now £11.75m 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something is so off about it all, there are so many outstanding missing children’s cases that have most briefly even graced the local news. Saw a study which put the average spend on a missing person case at around £1500 - £3000, why the Home Office continue to keep pouring taxpayers money down this particular drain I have no idea. Wouldn’t be surprised if someone somewhere is lining their pockets. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted November 13, 2018 Moderator Share Posted November 13, 2018 It's merely a huge coincidence that Esther McVile, Government Minister and a full-time waste of atoms is a close friend of Kate McCann and represents a Cheshire seat where the McCann metrics play so well It's a symbiotic cess pool in the leafy home county of the north 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
