It didn't look too dirty but then again I can't remember the last time I washed my car so I'm not one to see dirt on others cars!
Don't ever set foot in the detailing forum so
I got my car valeted a few weeks ago and the bloke who did it is fierce fussy and as it rained after he did it, he got me to bring it back to wash out the rain spots a few days later
Then when I was going out, it had that lovely beading, I was fierce tempted to take a picture of it and post it in detailing to show that my car is loved.

I have answered this question successfully and unsuccessfully so many times before but cannot for the life of me remember what I said. Why do American companies have to make the interview process such a pain! :mad:
It's a bull**** question. I didn't think anyone asked it these days unless they were using an old edition of the "colouring by numbers" interview book. They replaced it with a newer standard bull**** question but I can't remember what it is, and it has probably changed again since.
Ask them how they encourage training, mentoring and professional development and if the pension is defined benefits. Then just sit back and go "well, there you go... all the answers for where I'll be in 5 years are there..."
Of course real life doesn't work like that unfortunately.
Some companies just love the dog and pony show version of interviews. Or the "gang bang" interview - 4 hours of being tag teamed without so much as a glass of water.
Then again, some are professional about it - technical interview for technical role, HR double check to make sure you're not a latent maniac.
Hopefully you get the latter type!0 -

One lake, very big one you saw. Lower Lough Erne, 42 km long.[...]
If anybody wants a nice driving road,mine road from Enniskillen to Ballyshannon is absolutely stunning. Lovely mixture of road surfaces, wide range of twisties and some lovely views of the surrounding lakes and mountains.
Same here, I really like that road.I'd highly recommend it.0 -

You just better hope it's not coming in multiple parcels on different days
Speeds lol
Well? Are you going to tell us what it is?? Or is it secret :pac:0 -

Multiple parcels yes (2), different days no. Two barcodes in the item 1 and 2 part on the "we tried to deliver your stuff in the five minutes no one was in your house" docket as expected. I know its not an posts fault but this happens far too often for me not to blame someone else :pac:
At least I can finally book the car in with my mechanic tomorrow an book a re test. Would normally tackle the job myself but forking over at least €70 for an inner tie rod tool that will NEVER be used again makes me sad and I've a busy weekend ahead so couldn't be arsed this time round.
So, next on the list is inner tie rods, track rod ends, drop links, ball joints, pads and discs. The car only failed on an inner tie rod but sure if the wheels are off.... 0 -

Ah well I probably sound as mad as a box of frogs but here goes
I seem to be not yet entirely adjusted to the upside down accelerator and driving the accord like I do the Merc
In the merc easing off on the accelerator slows it down visibly whereas in the accord it drops the revs until it gets to a point where it changes
Today I made an effort to brake to slow while easing off the accelerator and I'd no shudder
I've also noticed that when oh drives he's much heavier than me on the accelerator so I suspect I'm used to a softer pedal than in the accord0
