Oh dear this looks like this thread is going to turn into Abraxus pink and fluffy dycke beard thread what a combination. I think this should be a 16+ thread only

Look what I've just found on the net, how good are they?

I think they should be made mandatory for anyone in a mentalist thread.

Gotta get me some of them they are great.

Compulsive Uncontrollable Purchasing Syndrome - it's our excuse for buying lots of magic, there's no cure, no antidote and we don't care because it's not our fault! There are several threads about this plus the suggestion of creating a support group but the best way to relieve the symptoms is to just buy some more magic.....

i've gone a bit overboard this month with purchasing...destiny response, peek performances, some magnet type stuff, cards, subliminations and lennart green....i partially blame magicgadget for having 40%...but mainly i blame.....ooooh...well, anyone except me...

I had a rather unhappy non-pink and non-fluffy day yesterday, when I drove my car into a rather nasty flood (see pic).

It looked like an extended puddle, and I drove through it on the way home on Wednesday evening, so I saw no reason not to push my little Peugeout Diesel through it again on Thursday AM. And, seeing as I had just watched a people-carrier steam through it without bother seconds before me, I took the 'plunge' so to speak.

So, slowly does it, so as not to cause a bow-wave, and about halfway into the 'puddle', the car stopped, dead. As the waves subsided, I realised I was door-sill height in water. Something I've not experienced before. And certainly panic set in.

First things first. Telephone work, as I'm certainly going to be late!

Second: call the breakdown services. I am not going anywhere fast here, and the only way is out!

Third: I am blocking a one-car-width country lane, which it seems is passable to everyone else. So I need to move the car!

So, off with shoes and socks, roll up trousers, and GENTLY open the door.

AS luck would have it, the water is literally up to the sill, not quite at the door's bottom, so at least the inside of the car was dry.

The icy water hit my feet, crucified my ankles, and froze my calf muscles... and not knowing what terrain was beneath the foot and a half of icy brown water I was wading though added to the terror of the fact that I could no longer feel any sensation in my feet!

I managed to push the car back through the flood—about 30 feet of grunting and freezing. Just as I'd gotten to a 'passing place', a City Link van arrived.

Now, owing to the fact I work/live in remote farmlands, I keep in the boot a Warning triangle, Jump leads, Toolkit and TOW ROPE.

The guy in the van offered to tow me to work, which was bloody great of him. However, the ascent and descent to work worried me in a towed car with water-laden brakes, so he towed me to a safe area (local golf club) and I managed to get the rest of the way.

Later in the day, my generous gaffer drove me to the car, and on inspection we noticed the air intake is low... at least the height of the flood. A quick look at the air filter confirmed our worst fears: the engine had drunk water, and had locked up.

A local farmer towed my car back to work, and we thought that was that. Needed a bit of repair, and then some. The local garage mechanic, codename Bungalow Bill, drew breath threw his teeth when we explained the situation. I thought my car was a gone-er.

BUT...

I'd like to say, that after an overnight drying and removing of glowplugs, then cranking the engine on the battery—shooting water 10ft in the air—plus a total syringing of the air filter box and intake system—the car started on the first turn of the key.

How lucky I feel is beyond measure. Especially as speaking to my insurance company, they thought I may be unable to claim on my fully comp. policy!

So, yesterday I was brown and spikey—today, pink and fluffy again!!!


Pic: This is the view of the 'puddle' I attempted to drive through, from the approach side. My car died about 30 feet in. The whole puddle is 50-60 feet long.
In the background, left, is the hill where I sit and work, and type on TM all day [/img]

Sorry to hear about your misfortunes siege but for everything that bad happens something good happens so maybe mrs siege will let your c.u.p.s run wild for a few days to cheer you up. I cant access the picture either i was looking forward to seeing that great puddle, i dont know why i would look forward to looking at a puddle, it just shows how sad my life is at the moment i suppose.


and just as i write this guess what appeared as if by magic the picture.

That is one big puddle! Glad you're feeling pink and fluffy again today Seige

I'm feeling very pink and fluffy because I have just painted myself pink and covered myself with fluff.

Which is nice

hehehe, that is one big puddle! Ahh well, it happens to the best of us.
