Can confirm! Ours would curl their top lips up in a most aloof fashion if there was even a hint of the stuff on the menuI know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

I'm getting out there with a roofing torch this weekend to see if it might work. Trouble is, the plant is so wet in its structure that I very much doubt enough cells with rupture with heat to properly kill the plant.
It may be a thorough licking with heat (aka napalm) followed up with glyphosate after a week or so on the weakened plant. I'm going to be repeating this for years to come, as until everyone 20 miles upstream manages it, I'm going to get new seed deposited each year.I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no.

Not so much as got my goat but it bugged me a bit, was in the dealers today and whilst waiting a big grey Range Rover caught my eye, not because I liked it but because it’s autobiography badge on the door was squint, it was well out and stood out a mile. So had a closer inspection, and noticed the price, £141,000 including all its options and they couldn’t even stick its badge on straight.
Put me right off buying it 23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green

As I pay tax I registered at a large charity dropoff point. I don't give a great deal as evidenced by the loft and a shed full of junk.
Apparently my donations last year qualified for gift aid and they claimed 37p from the tax man.
I know this because they sent me a letter telling me how much they earned from our donations and the amount claimed.
I presume I have to deduct the cost of sending me the letter from the gift aid earned A visitor from the dark side, my other vehicle is an MG5 EV

The wife! Phoned me up after getting to work at 7am, the cars tyre pressure warning came on. The car is in the hospital park, “sort it”.
I traipse down there, bearing in mind the car park is now full to the brim that you could get a cigarette paper between the vehicles, armed with my foot pump only to find there a bulge on the side wall, she’s probably kerbed it, which is hotly & contemptuously denied.
I then have terrible trouble finding a garage with the size of tyres in stock. On finding one, I drive her car there, have to leave it as they are very busy.
I walk four miles back to the car park and pick my own car up and head home.
Time engaged - 9am to 3pm!

Don’t get me wrong. I didn’t expect to get thanked, that would be above and beyond, but I actually got slagged off because when she went to collect the car, she had to pay plus I didn’t fill the car up for her. oh right, you’ve got a dodgy tyre, so I do a detour on the way to the tyre place and I pay for 2 new tyres that haven’t been fitted yet. (For the avoidance of doubt, we have separate bank accounts)
She wants it like that, I should have charged her a call out fee for my services and fuel money for the Disco.

Should’ve given her the number for LR Assist or the AA.

I'd have made an extremely sarky comment if I hadn't been thanked or even slagged off like you were. I wouldn't put up with such bad manners. Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

Why didn’t you just put on the spare and take the wheel to the garage in your car?
