Adam Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Have you never heard of a chip van? We have them in Airdrie. Old vans packed with second hand electrical equipment and vats of hot oil, careering round schemes to dispense heart attacks wrapped up in newspaper. Ours comes on a Wednesday never miss it. Fish supper with a hamburger garnish. Used to regularly stay with my Aunt and Uncle in Gartlea when I was growing up, loved the chip van! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HenryHill Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 In Rome and I don't think I can face anymore ice cream today. I must have been a right c**t in a former life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 A chip van used to fire round the village I stayed in as a lad. It only went round the uncouth top part of the village though and not the cultured bottom part. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best you could do was just sniff the air as it blazed by. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alert Mongoose Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 The remote locking on my car key has stopped working. Locking/unlocking the door with the key is soul destroying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try turning the ignition to put all the dash lights on without starting up and then push the key button. Sometime it resets itself but sadly not all the time. Anyhoo, my problem is that it has just taken me almost 5 minutes to open my wifes bottle of champagne. The cork just would not move. Bet Gamu does not have that problem with getting something to drink. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee Man Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Searching through properties on estate agents websites with the keyword 'pool' entered into the filter but some of the suggested properties have no pool. It's times like this I wish I stayed in the path of a massive hurricane. It would sort out the need for a pool for starters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a valid question you ask there but no, none of them had pool tables although one of them had an air hockey table. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I had one of those shower gel/shampoo distributors in my shower and when I was replacing the shower gel within yesterday I pulled the box out a little bit which obviously unstable it somewhat and then in the middle of the night the entire thing fell into the shower leaving a smudge of green shower gel, blue shampoo and white conditioner and the plastic cases were broken all over the place. It made me lose at very least 20 minutes of sleep as well as being a waste of money and materials. The weekend is pretty much ruined already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still not sure if I would want one in my bathroom though. Look at the havoc it's wreaked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
