Punctures, Flatties and so on

I have had two since last December, the first in over fourteen years of driving

I've got the power of a five year old in my arms and had to get the AA out to remove the wheel both times, and even they struggled

Why are they such a bastid to remove rage

I've never had to do it and I'm dead relieved as well because I'd feel so soft for calling Green Flag but would probably have to as I wouldnt really know what I was doing (because I've never done it).

Pneumatic tools.

The things they put your wheel nuts on with, not the blokes wielding it. Or make your own mind up.

I had to change a wheel on the A34 out of Manchester on a Friday night and I was bouncing on the wheel brace, fat bastard that I was, to make the nuts turn. My question is, why is always the road side and not the pavement side?? :evil:

I have never had any bother when I have had to change a wheel and it takes less than 10 minutes, I must be good then :sweeeet:

I had a puncture last January next to Josephs church on a cold pissing wet night...as I was struggling to jack up the rear nearside wheel, the car door opened and our lass said would I turn the engine on because the car was getting cold and she wanted the radio on :roll:

....

.... the penny dropped as I realised I'd forgotten she was sat there, no wonder I was struggling to jack it up....so after I dragged her out of the car with the power of my voice, I asked her to hold the torch for me. She said she was cold :roll:

I said I was f***ing freezing, my trouser knees were wet from kneeling in the gutter...she then chirped..."but you like messing about with things like that"... :evil:

WOMEN, DONTCHA JUST LOVE EM?

Oh aye, we've got a cupboard full of portents.

They're on the shelf just below the scalps. :wink:

I have to admit, the prospect of getting the toolbox out does give me a certain tingling anticipation, especially if the weathers rough ..... the perfect way to end a perfect evening rolfl
