    [Misc] Any mechanics? Cost of a clutch

    If only warranties covered wear and tear items ....... Although I would fully expect a new cars' clutch to last more than 3 weeks past the warranty period! Mine has just started slipping and an original 2006 clutch. I can't really complain at that but the OP definitely has a valid reason to!

    [Misc] Have you put the heating on yet? (2022/23 edition)

    I've just turned ours onto boost for the first time. Due to the fact I hit a massive flood on the way home in Hassocks and hydrolocked my car air intake. Needed help from 3 people to push it out of said flood so the heating is on to try and dry out my footwear so it might be dry in time for my...

    [Albion] Molineux

    The first time I went to Wolves was just after our promotion to the Championship (I think the 3-3 when Dobbie (remember him) scored a pen and we were in the isolated stand that if it's full you can't see the touchline along the current away fan section. Last time I went was the 0-0 I think for...

    [Albion] Paul Winstanley joins Chelsea as Director of Global Talent and Transfers

    I think I read somewhere about a year ago that TB has sold Starlizard on or wasn't involved any more? Or am I completely mistaken with that?

    [Help] What would you do?

    I think and hope I have done too. Trouble is I like the company I work for and apart from one dickhead and one who hasn't listened to a word I've said (I've saved the company £000's in spotting mistakes and avoiding remakes, they haven't recognised) I wouldn't hesitate in staying, current...

    [Help] What would you do?

    I've decided to leave and have officially spoken to current company and turned down their offer. After talking to the wife at length last night I realised that current company were happy taking the Mick a bit and are now only panicking and offering change after I got too fed up of nothing...

    [Help] What would you do?

    A lot of the good stuff is still here. Very strong in automotive, aerospace, medical and semi conductor industries. It's the cheap crap work that's going that way IMO from my experience.

    [Help] What would you do?

    This is also true but current company has been able to ride this storm when many others are failing although it's been rough but things are beginning to level out a bit.

    [Help] What would you do?

    This was my thinking when I took the offer and still is really, I've left other companies in the hope of finding something better before and got burned really badly, which is why I've flip flopped so f***ing much in the last 2 hours I'm beginning to get dizzy.

    [Help] What would you do?

    I don't know if I worded it right in my original post but they're basically shunting the existing crap programmer sideways onto other things and giving me his job as part of a "company restructuring". It's in writing too.... I was going to leave because I wanted to do what they've just...

    [Help] What would you do?

    I've been getting annoyed in my current job and decided to start looking for a new job. I'm currently a CNC operator but the programmer before me is crap and always causing me issues. I've been telling them for the 20 months that I've been here what they're doing is wrong and nobody was...

    [Misc] Any Other Old Gits Build Airfix Kits?

    I made loads as a kid, even painted them, so ****ing annoying when you realised you were supposed to paint inside the cockpit before gluing the screen on. All of mine succumbed to a BSA Meteor .177 between 1989-1994 when I sold it to a mate. Wish I hadn't now, brings back many memories of...

    MOTD2, BBC One 22:30

    Indeed. It was for that reason we equalised. He had a few other class little moments during the game too maintaining our press.... That side step to keep the pressure on was pure un-adulterated filth😁

    [Help] What spider is this?

    This was this evening's visitor just as Mrs Spongy was taking the 3year old to bed. She walked in, turned the light on said something I can't repeat on here, turned around and said something also quite impolite to me with lots of other bad words about removing said Incy Wincy. It was about...

    [Help] 2 kids under 2 - car choice...

    Mrs Spongy has a b-max, she loves it but I'm not a fan. The sliding rear doors are great for car parks but remember it is based on a Fiesta so it's not as big as you think and the boot not big enough for a stroller to go in flat let alone a buggy or 2. C-max looks a good bet as based on the...

    [News] Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II Passes Away - 08/09/2022

    Are you serious? Of course there will be. I'm not a fan of the royals as such but even I had to pull over driving home to have a bit of tears. The Queen was the main character in this and head of the whole thing. This is history being made. Diana was a bit part in the story.

    [Albion] Chance to top the League next Saturday

    I could never bring myself to sing like that after the "we're winning away, how shit must you be" at Fulham, only to be battered from thence forth. .... Kudos to the Fulham though when they went ahead and came back with "with winning at home, how shit must you be" etc. Never set yourself up for...
