Just got the car back from it's service (after my fruitless charity shop exploring)

"The car is grand, oh, apart from the timing chain, that needs doing. 600 quid"

600 quid

Good fucking God.

Second opinion that shit. Hard!

 

[dudley]

Aye, I am. I do trust my mechanic though, he's been great in the past and has charged me next to nothing for jobs that others have quoted small fortunes for.

Still. Who the fuck has 600 quid these days?
Apart from you.

Brake discs are something you could do yourself

600 fucking quid?!

aww fuck

 

[dudley]

Aye, bad vugum. Currently chatting with some petrol heads on boards to see how long I can keep the car running without destroying it before getting the job done.

Also, for shits and giggles, got a quote from a dealer for the same job, twice the price

Bank can't tell me how much I'll be charged for withdrawing money while abroad, only that it'll be "in the 3 to 20 euro range". Idiots.

Tesco self service machines giving change in the smallest possible denomination so now I have a pocket full of shrapnel.

Is that for ATM withdrawals?

Where you off to?

Yep. Prague, I should have stayed in the eurozone.

One single wallop so. And stick everything else on the credit card if you have one (a quick check to see if your credit card company charges for foreign transactions - some do, some don't)

Prague sounds fucking deadly. Never been.

I have to deal with Canadian money this week

I mean it's cute and all, but why do they even fucking bother?

Think my C.C. charges a flat 25c per transaction. I'm going for nine months so I'll have to look into opening an account over there and transferring money into that. The EU really needs to get its shit together in this regard.
