Yeah, I went to a Slovakian run tyre garage near me with my previous car and watched him do it. For a fiver! I gave him a tenner anyway. Lasted at least a year or two until I sold it to WeBuyAnyCar. These repair kits are only around 15 quid on Amazon. Doesn't hurt to keep one in the boot :)
 
It was my work van so have to do it by the books. Great thing was the mobile tyre fitting company our contract is with was we can come tomorrow, which would have been fine if I was at base.

Lease company send the AA but dont send out tyre repair, so he then arranges a tyre with our contract. Takes me and the tyre to them to repair tyre then drive me back to put it back on.

4 hours of my life I won't get back due to the stupid tyre repair kit that doesn't work.

Some freedom loving lawless libertarian flag flucker has stolen my bins.

I've just had to order replacements, at £50 each, for delivery in the New Year, as the council had recently replaced our entire street's bins two weeks ago.

Merry Goosemas.

Hopefully it wasn't a wild goose chase trying to track them down before you couldn't find them ;-)

This is what happens when they're not being looked after in out of town welfare complexes (jokes) ;)
 
Carling. Or any other cheap, bad tasting beer with nothing to it.

I don’t get the point in beers like this where you don’t actually enjoy drinking it. Why not just get something that tastes nice and that you’ll enjoy? I don’t get it.
 
Some people do just like drinking alcohol for the sake of getting drunk, apparently. That’s something I’ve never understood (each to their own, but it’s absolutely not for me), but if that’s your view, I can see why something cheap would appeal.

I might be the wrong person to talk to about this, though, as I’m teetotal and don’t really get alcohol in general… everything alcoholic or alcohol-adjacent I’ve ever smelt or tasted has been vile! Granted, I’ve only ever tasted non-alcoholic beer and non-alcoholic G&T, but I’ve smelt my fair share of beer, wine, gin and such over the years and have never understood the appeal!

Evidently some people do enjoy drinking it. I don't drink Carling but I do find some lagers to be refreshing, especially on a warm day when they're nice and cold.

Just cos you don't enjoy it doesn't mean nobody will or should. The world would be a very boring place if we all liked the same stuff.

I don't enjoy Carling because all lager and beer is awful in my opinion.

I’ll always jump to Carling’s defence. It’s terminally listed as the de facto rubbish lager, when I think it’s a nicer taste than Carlsberg, Budweiser, Coors, Fosters and Kronenberg amongst others which all seem to escape the same ridicule.

Having said that, it’s probably 15+ years since I ordered one.
 
Come on now...old gite calling again.

Proper beer, bitter, light frothy head, made with soft water, flat, not fizzy.
Can be thrown down the neck in a couple of seconds on a hot day without nasty gas giving you the burps.

Lager is for modern people, with little taste...

Both meanings.

Ah now you see I love me a nice pint of bitter. Give me that over any of the hard water Burton beers any day. Sadly it’s difficult to actually get a nice pint of best these days with everywhere selling Americanised craft beers full of all kinds of nonsense.
 
I was dragged up on three local breweries soft water bitter.
Thwaites is in my blood.
Now their real cask is made in the Ribble Valley, so it must be posh.
