For Single Men Attempting To Fend For Themselves

Not to disparage your find of the day, BC, but have you considered just going paperless?

I do a lot of stuff paperless lgir but having been self employed for so long I still have a wallet full of receipts for anything and everything and am always loath to chuck anything out just in case it is somehow important. I still get mail and this is where it now goes. Tbh my ex had one so I stole the idea off of her and now I realise she wasn't so clever, she just had a homefile. Saviour of mankind.

Well maybe she was clever in other ways.

What is that dervish?

 

It's a garden shredder. All the shite of the day that gets deposited by the postie gets turned to bbq accelerant.

 

See BC I can understand the benefit if you have to keep all that stuff. For me it's just more shit to burn.

 

Having said that the cunts at my work are after me for receipts for allowances (otherwise I'm on actuals, :( ) and I'd guess a homefile of trips would be my messiah to my expense abuse religion. One section for that brick of blank taxi receipts the driver gave for you for a £1.57 tip etc.

Bobby, mate, i thought this revolutionary file was the future aswell. Unfortunately the inner man will eventually take over. Now I have about 18 months worth of unopened bank statements, phone bills and payslips (they are open) all in it, in no order and would take hours to sort out properly. Ill likely just burn them all and start again. Bring some marshmallows over.

Was your ex up last week BC? Thought I saw you and her on ness walk about 8pm Wednesday as I tucked into my rocpool scallops.

No mate, would have been someone else I was with on my way back from the gym in the Palace Hotel. rocpool eh? Very swanky!

 

On a completely separate subject, how much do you know about turbos on Audi's? Mine appears to be completely goosed. No boost in any gear!

Haha! Maybe I'm in the honeymoon period with it. My accountant was well impressed. I'm hoping for reduced fees.

I sent you a letter on that very subject last Thursday. Paid for next day delivery. It arrived on Friday. You've got it it your filing system more than likely. You did have that up and running last Friday right?

Diesel or petrol?

 

Could be any number of things. Loose boost hose, buggered MAF, clogged vanes, goosed turbo.

 

Does it plow out white or blue smoke?

It's a diesel. It just packed in without any warning and now drives like a tractor. I'm thinking it's the MAF based on what I have read online but it could be any of the stuff you have mentioned. It loses power at the time when the turbo should be kicking in. Kinda stutters if that makes sense?

 

No smoke. To any other motorist it just looks like I'm driving like a granny!

 

I've become kind of attached to this car Neil. I love it's wee quirks like being being able to wind the windows down with the fob. Gotta love German engineering.
