Random Irritations

I love them both.
You can't be talking about mixing them?
😖
Played golf with a really nice Canadian couple yesterday, we had a drink afterwards.
We all had a beer but she ordered a tomato juice as well which we thought was a bit odd but took no real notice.
Imagine our surprise when she mixed the two together!
Apparently it is a Canadian thing, nowt so strange as folk.

This is a nation who has cheesy chips as its national dish 🤷‍♂️. The bar is low with Canadians and their food and drink 😂
 
The little Mini Cooper toy was due it’s MOT next week so got Mrs M to take it, sadly it failed on CV boot which doesn’t take too long to replace.

Garage has quoted her £406 total for the MOT and to replace the part!! The MOT is £54, the CV boot is Available to buy from europarts for £14! So that’s £68. Now I understand it’s for labour to fit but they want £338 for something I can fit myself in 1.5 to 2hrs. They’re not even a main dealer, I’ve told her tell them no thanks and ordered the part for delivery on Thursday and I’ll fit it when at home and take the car back for its free retest!

I hate garages that try it on.
I took my old car for an MOT a few years back and it failed which is fine.
Spoke to my mechanic who was suprised it failed on what it did.
He took it back a few days later without doing any of the work and it miraculously passed (he told them he did the work).

It has since passed every time first time as I now get him to take it in.

It normally has a few minors on it but I never get them repaired and the following year test it passes with different minors on it.

I get my mechanic to service it regularly so I know if anything dangerous needs attention

Really pee’d me off as well because I knew if failed it wouldn’t be anything that couldn’t be easily fixed as that car is so well looked after I get accused of living it more than my kids.

We had similar issue with my big car. Need a new Glow plug so I though just replaced them all garage quoted £375. I bought 4 brand new ones from Europe Parts for £79 and fitted them in half an hour.

The guy who owns the garage plays golf with our swindle so we do get good deals with him
 
No point in using an e sim if your provider has no roaming charges as many don’t have any in Europe including ours. However further afield there are very few normal monthly packages that have no roaming charges worldwide, the providers will allow use to use your UK allowance at a daily fee but an e sim is normally cheaper.
I ask as we are going to Malaysia in January...

I would be surprised if your UK contact allows free roaming in Malaysia but obviously I don’t know. Normally there will be a daily cost which over the time span of a holiday mounts up.
If your phone is compatible, I found an e sim incredibly easy to use and sensibly priced but as yet I don’t know if I have over egged it on the data I bought - I suspect yes. Obviously it is only of use when you are not using hotel, restaurant, golf club etc wi-fi.
 
On the 1st of December when she is asleep cut your daughter’s hair and leave the elf next to her with a pair of scissors.
She will forever more hate the elf and situation solved.
You can thank me later 😂
I’m not sure the wife would like be cutting her hair 😂😂

Last year we had the elf have a 💩 in her shoes - she laughed her head off

Thing is - I have no idea what an e-sim actually is and whether I can use it with my existing iPhone 11.
