christmas rush

Post by Handy Angie »

I was told to be in Weymouth for xmas dinner, eating at 1pm. I sacrifice my xmas eve Batman movie to go to bed early. I am woken by the alarm clock at 6.25am, drag myself in the shower and set off. Race on down the motorway and arrive around 12.30. Then find for some reason the car wont start again and is chuddering. Ring UHM to be blasted down the phone WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO???? Then he had trouble understanding what chuddering means? I mean Im sure its a technical term. Collect the family and drive to Portland. 14.55 now and Ive still not been fed!!! Why tell me 1pm if they really mean 3pm. I could have had 2 hours more sleep in my warm bed, ahhhhhhhh. And I had to leave my presents behind in a rush. So Im hungry and presentless, but at least Ive got an X Factor ticket waiting for me at home ha ha! And if I find brussells on my plate or anywhere near my food that will be the final straw. (Have I spelt that right?) And there's no heating here so Im wearing coat and gloves for xmas dinner. Its a nightmare. May be down here for a while if my chuddering doesnt stop. Good job Im in the AA or RAC or one of them anyway! So I will carry on eating pink smarties trying to cheer myself up whilst Im freezing and starving to death boooo hoooooo. :cb

chundering to me is a toilet related type activity where the motions are rather gassy and loud :oops: :oops:

yes i know exactly what you mean you go to bed before your ready you dont sleep well because you know your up at some unatural hour so you wake up every hour to check your not late :cb

what was the problem in the end !!! was it fuel related!!!

hope it didnt spoil your enjoyment of xmass
mind you by the time youve read this youll be on your seventh board game after 5 courses of heavy stodgy food :thumbright: :thumbright:

enjoy the rest off your xmass and newyear break :santa: :santa: :occasion5:

It's not rocket science.

When you said it is juddering, I asked if it was when you were breaking. You sais that it was not happening when breaking, but when you were stopping :scratch:

You then started yapping to someone at your end and then said you had to go before I had finished the conversation.

You then sent a text saying the car would not start. I called and you never answered, 15 mins later you sent a text ::b

Italian cars are shite, what do you expect?

No I am not from Italy.

My dad was Italian, but my mum is English.

Italian and French cars are often total shite :wink:

I fixed your windscreen wipers and checked the oil, I did not touch anything else.

That just reminded me of when Handy Angie had a flat tyre and thought the exhaust was blowing.

She was driving to work and heard a strange noise and thought that the exhaust was blowing, but she never realised that when she was stationary the noise stopped.

At least she is a good cook :lol:

No doubt I'll be wearing a black eye when she reads this :boxing:
