Was talking to one of the aul maintenance fitters in work today saying I picked up a throttle body gasket from Volvo for less than a fiver. He was nearly giving out to me saying I could have gotten a load of gasket paper and just cut the thing out myself and have a ball of it leftover for future jobs. He swears by the stuff. I know my aul lad used it back in the day (70's-80's) on whatever banger he had at the time. Do ye use it or have ye ever used it? Personally I prefer to buy from the dealer for the sake of a few euro.

Use it all the time

Well anytime I need to make a gasket!

No, a rear ender of the entrance to the Kinsale Road Roundabout from the city entrance. Ringing her now tomorrow to sort it all out, won't be too bad, I hope.

Now in A+E, think I broke my arm.
