Petrol in a diesel car?

Yup, 50 litres of v-power no less in the freelander at about 70 quid. Then £190 to get it drained, then 70 quid to fill it back up with diesel. A few hours of my life and a lot of money utterly wasted. An important lesson learnt.


Hot girl in the garage when you were filling up by any chance?


Sorry, only just noticed this. It was an immaculate c reg escort rs turbo. Plus a car that had its entire front bumper and part of its wing torn off. It looked as if she'd just driven off from an accident and decided she needed some petrol. Also, the day after Boxing Day, so I was feeling a little tired and, for want of a better word, hungover.

Roughly (it depends primarily on your age) your chance of winning the lottery is equal to your chance of being killed in any 15 minute period of a calendar year. So never buy a lottery ticket more than a quarter of a hour before the draw.

That I was born on a Friday, the one where the Argies and some scrap metallers helped to kick off the Falklands War :lol:

I was working in a casino as a croupier when that was going on. Now you've learnt 2 things :)

LOL! I trained as a croupier and worked in the casino for about 6 months. On the roulette tables.

Think I lasted 9 months & did roulette too. I would've stayed but they changed my shifts from Saturday night / Sunday & Monday off to Tuesday / Wednesday off and I never saw my friends or family.

Had to lie on my CV as I had trouble getting a job after that and an agency suggested putting down temporary work. Got a job straight away after that.

Kim Peek, the savant that Rainman is based on, read books by reading the left page with his left eye, the right page with his right eye, and he could read those pages in 10 seconds, while remembering 98% of every book he ever read, including encyclopaedias.

This fact was brought to you by What The Effing [LIFTED]

Yes I got to listening to some of the crap they produced. I then watched a documentary where they droned on about the most pretentious banalities and then burned a million pounds in an horrific display of gluttony which the airheads thought was beautifully ironic. It was one of the most distasteful displays I've ever seen, I felt disgusted when they wanted me to cheer and revel in it. From what i have seen of them, I feel confident in judging them to be two of the most pointless [LIFTED] to have ever breathed.

I also find their infectious gash to be quite funky.
