Sounds like a Limey version of 'kludge'

Though not much.....

Nope, I called him to tease him about it. He admitted regular kitchen foil. It was new though, so no tasty bacon smell, just exhaust fumes gagging me.

But with class being in a British accent. Oh, hang on a mo.....

Prize (not really) for the first P.shop of an exhaust repaired with Princess Beatrice's hat :)

Exactly how fond of you is he again?

You win one internet

I think a revoking his man card is a bit much in this situation. Given his track record, I think a 3 day suspension may be more in order.

OK deal.

I'll get Steel Magnolias, Gone with the wind and Thelma and Louise out of the library and make him watch them as penance.

Legally Blonde.

The new champ is Sex & the City. Either one or both. Doesn't matter.

Sadist!! He needs to punish him, not kill him!

So Adrian, is the exhaust now knackered?

Ow. Agreed. Went too far. Knowing how many cars could be bought with the money those women "spend" on shoes could kill a man.

Or, probably more to the point, he was in what my uncle calls one of his "DILLIGAF" moods. Given his track record and age, he is entitled to be in one of those 4/5 of the time.

It's in better nick than it was before.

Urrp. Nasty just to think about.

On subject: hell, at least he tried. I know way too many people who wouldn't have even done that, they'd have sold the car for $25. Oh, wait...

You totally should have taken a picture for thereifixedit.com! :D
