You know you are having one of those days, when you wake up and the sun is shining the birds are singing happily in their trees and you wander down stairs with a feeling todays is going to be special.
Well I wake up early get down stairs to find my washing machines is broken, oh well, such things happen time to get an early start at work, that is drive 300 yards down the road and think, oh oh, that feels like a flat tyre, not to worry, I can change a tyre almost as quick as the Ferrari F1 team can. Well one thing that don't have to contend with is lock nuts that need a key to undo, a key that you have never owned. OK, now i feel a little edgy, not too bad just like i have had 12 cups of coffee. Balls! right, ok lets take it to the tyre place maybe they have a tool. oh, they don't. OK, ok. not to worry, we might be able to bash socket over it or chisel it off. great, fantastic, you want to chisel my car.
Any way it came off, then they start the talk of "well, mate, you want to buy a new tyre?" "um not just yet, stick some air in it and see if some so and so has just let it down over night." In goes the air and straight back out it come through nice pen knife shaped slash in the side.
"Fuckers" I exclaim
£77 poorer i leave the garage and head following their direction to the nearest Ford garage to buy a key for my wheel nuts. only their directions take me to a Vovlo garage, after waiting to go through the traffic jams on the Millbrook road.. well you know Ford / Volvo both blue!!!!!!
Any way i eventualy find a Ford garage, and speak to the guy about getting key, i even have the nut i removed to help.
" alright mate I need a new key for wheel lock nuts" and i hand him the nut.
"You got the old key?"
"um no, i bought the car 3 years ago and it didn't come with it, is that problem?"
"no sir just give me the key number"
"key number?"
"yes should be written on little piece of paper"
"um, i dont have it"
"cant help then sir"
"ok can you sell me 4 normal ford nuts"
"certainly sir, that will be £23"
"what the fuck they made out of gold or something?"
"sorry sir"
On the way out i thought i would check about Fords paint garentee, since i have a small spot of corrosion on the inside of my boot.
"Hi, how long does the body work garantee last on the Ford Focus?"
"6 years sir, how old is your car?"
"7"
testicals
So i run the car round to the repair place at the back and thankfully they have a spare key that fits and they take of my remaining nuts, and i put on the normal, surprising not made of gold, nuts.
then the icing on the cake, just as i leave, i spot mt Ex on her way round to see her slimy fat fuck of friend who she is now banging.
oh look it's not even 11am yet.
