[7 - No tomorrow]

Do you have the Mini book?

Everything I know about fixing cars comes from owning cheap clunkers that broke down a lot.

Have you priced a whole new engine?


You don't have to answer either of those obv

Yeah I have the Haynes manual but these problems are way beyond the casual tinkerer. I go to the best mini mechanics around but the car is just a piece of crap. Even those guys have trouble with it . I've already got the top half of the engine rebuilt. Looks like I need to get the bottom half too...more expense.

What year is the mini ?

 

[therealjohnny]

96. If it was classic from the 60s I could almost justify all this heartache...

Some random guy added me on linked in a long time ago, got my old job, moved into the flat upstairs and has now started trying to get all buddy buddy with me. At least I have no family for him to take from me.

You have read The Double I assume?

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

I have not

 

[GO]

yes

Look on the brightside..when you do eventually get it all sorted..you'll be a 4 wheeled gee magnet.

 

[тхеодоре кацзынски]

I have not

Maybe for the best. (I'll post it down to you if you want, ramp up the paranoia).

Thanks, I'm alright for the moment though. I presume your talking about Dostoevsky and not Saramago? I'm in a flap over the different translations, I want to be sure I don't try reading a shite one.

Yeah, Dostoevsky, that new one sounds promising though. Can't recall which translation I read, it was quite claustrophobic though, it's a rather dark story.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

Are you learning russian?

 

[тхеодоре кацзынски]

I was supposed to be but have since abandoned it. Must try again.

Got a new phone in the past month. Bought a case for a phone for the first time ever to look after it. Just opened the case at my desk 15 minutes ago to respond to a text and there's a crack running across the screen. Hope I can find the receipt.

Pretty sure when I upgraded and changed my plan I cancelled the insurance too

is it a sony xperia? i just got a replacement on the insurance after the front and back glass shattered. back glass shattered on the new one today. was originally sold to me on its durability - "all the builders and farmers have this one". me hole.
