Funky Nosejob

Hummed and hawed for a bit before caving and getting the Invoice GAP cover from gapinsurance.co.uk. Cost £265 for 4 years, compared to the £449 the dealer was quoting. Thanks to all for your advice.

It is. We’d have 39 points with GD +18. Highest points that Cove or Falkirk could get would also be 39. They have GD of +10 and +11 respectively at present.

Not the best plan, but three draws would be sufficient if we gambled on neither Cove nor Falkirk getting large winning margins in their other games.

Sorry, if you want to get to Arran, you’ll have to go through here first.

I'd probably just leave it. I had a VW Scirocco on PCP and when I traded it in last year there was about £1500 of positive equity. Volkswagens tend to hold up quite well. Thanks.

What kind of car is it? If its something likely to hold its value I probably wouldn't bother. If it depreciates like a stone then gap insurance might be worth the peace of mind. VW Golf

I’m buying a 70 plate ex-demo car on a 4 year PCP deal at about 85% of its list price as new. Should I bother with GAP insurance?

The average height of a current female goalkeeper is the same as the average height of a male goalkeeper was when the dimensions of the goals were added to the laws of the game. I also strongly suspect that current female goalkeepers are more athletic and agile than their historic male counterparts.

Guess where all the drain covers and the worst potholes are located. As someone who drives and cycles, it’s very noticeable how well a car absorbs the bumps and jolts from the worst road surfaces.

And again on Man City v Tottenham

Wolves fans are keeping well out of this one.

I read the entire Rebus collection from Knots And Crosses through to Rather Be the Devil a few years back*. It became much more challenging towards the end as the plot lines became repetitive and more obvious. Tried the same challenge with the Bob Skinner series by Quintin Jardine and only lasted 5 books. * I’m aware that some new titles have been released since, but I’ve scunnered myself with Rebus.

Although Pot Pourri smells nice, it turns into sludgy pulp as soon as you add the boiling water and tastes rank. I much prefer Pot Noodle and Pot Rice.

Scientists in Geneva have attributed the falling birth rates in Europe to the introduction of Memory Foam Mattresses, claiming the mattress’s absorption of all momentum leads to exhaustion before climax can be reached.

Was overtaken at very close range (and high revs) by a Volvo estate whilst out on my cycle this morning. I caught up with them as they had to stop at temporary traffic lights just outside Kirknewton. I then noticed the two Alsatians in the tailgate... It’s amazing how making full-on eye contact and baring your teeth in a growl can set off dogs into a barking frenzy. They were still going as I turned down towards East Calder.

The Simpsons have pissed off Morrissey

A genuine miracle and a ray of hope for us all... Mrs. Nosejob has “discovered” that removing cans and yogurt pots from their multipack wrapping before putting them in the cupboard or fridge means they take up less space and are easier to retrieve. Sadly, I suspect this is down to her viewing a Facebook life-hack video, rather than my 20 years worth of telling her each week.

There are some turds that even Stock, Aitken & Waterman couldn’t polish...

I first watched this on a rented DVD and spent part of the next morning watching the extras. Hopefully this deleted scene is now included in any screening as I loved it.

I can only guess that I’m not part of the target demographic, because those Mini Cheddars adverts seem fucking appalling.

A character’s credentials as a genius, child protégé or scientific authority can be established by their ability to solve a Rubik’s Cube. I learned how to solve a Rubik’s Cube from a book in the early 1980s and I suspect that there are now countless YouTube videos showing you how to do it.

I get that the song is from 1975 when it was a more popular name, but it still annoys me that the love interest in Bruce Springsteen’s Born to Run is called Wendy. I’m okay with countless other names in other songs, from Buddy Holly’s Peggy Sue to The Zutons’ Valerie, so I don’t know why Wendy jars so much. Maybe Bruce could re-record the song substituting in a more edgy name like Roxie?

From the days before Matt Branco were being called out as a bunch of wankers on children's tv..
