[QUOTE=smithy285;52383185]Haha, well I'm doing it myself, or rather will be attempting to. I'm buying the [URL="http://www.halfords.com/motoring/engine-oils-fluids/air-con/ez-chill-auto-air-conditioning-recharge"]canister[/URL] and [URL="http://www.halfords.com/motoring/engine-oils-fluids/air-con/ez-chill-auto-airconditioning-reusable-trigger-dispenser-gauge"]trigger[/URL] which come to £60[/QUOTE]
Update: Went to Halfords to collect my order, told me it was stolen and I should come back tomorrow 👌

just ask if they can regas you for £20? the thing is your ac system shouldn't lose anything unless it's broke
also against all odds my mk4 golf has ice cold ac at 130k and i've no idea how
[QUOTE=codenamecueball;52383826]are the new tyres by any chance ling long ditchfinders?

at £30 a corner they're guaranteed to be fucking awful[/QUOTE]
I've always had budget or part worns and I've never had a problem. They might be awful, but it's what I've known. If I had a faster car I'd probably go for pricier ones, but these are basically shopping trolleys, I can't even remember the last time the ABS kicked in. My dad runs crappy van tyres on his old Europa.
I'm meant to be getting a cheap Insignia from a relative in a couple of months, and I know it's going to be the end of £40 tyres it's got those large rubberband wall tyres

Went to iceland, bought 6kg of ice lollies but there isnt enough space in the freezer WOOPS
[QUOTE=WilloTheWisp;52385079]Is anyone else getting absolutely fucked by hay fever right now? It doesn't help I live in a city where it's apparently worse. I hate it so much, you're literally allergic to the nicest time of the year[/QUOTE]
I recommend to take something for it. If regular over the counter stuff isn't effective then I recommend to go to your local GP to get something stronger. I take Fexofenadine Hydrochloride (180mg) and it makes a dramatic difference.

You need to eat all the ones that don't fit, asap

I've found generally that in tyres a pricier set gives better grip but also a reasonable amount more mileage, so whilst it doesn't entirely pay for the difference, a £65 Pirelli giving me 30,000 miles is a reasonable trade against a junk brand at £30 getting 20,000 or so.

What's the best instant noodles you can get in the supermarket?
Usually the shit in the "world foods" section with a bunch of wingdings written on the box.
Itsu do some decent ones

How retard-friendly are the instructions, do you know? I don't mean to be all 20 questions but it's midnight, I can't go out and check.
I have a deep rooted devotion to super noodles personally
every fucking summer
EVERY
FUCKING
SUMMER
we have an 'unexpected' heatwave
but do the retailers fucking plan and go "hey we have a heatwave every summer for some reason, do you think we should order more fans for the season?"
and the answer must be a resounding fucking NO
because every year they completely run out of fans leaving everyone to suffer
and now these unempathetic cunts are trying to make light of the situation and use the fan shortage to try and peddle their other products

"Phew! Due to the unusually warm British weather we’re almost sold out of fans and air conditioning. Until we’re back in stock, why not keep cool with one of our spas or paddling pools?"

[QUOTE]A B&Q spokesperson commented: “We’ve seen various cooling items fly off the shelf since the weekend. A lot of our customers are getting fun and creative with the hot weather – not only grabbing bargains with fans, but also enjoying the great outdoors with our range of hot tubs and spas.”[/QUOTE]
fuck you B&Q
if anybody lives in or around Brighton and can deliver me a fan I'll pay you £30, i don't care what size it is

This might sound dodgy as but check out your local horticulture shop and see if they stock decent clip fans, I got a 6 inch one for 12.50 that attaches nicely to my desk and does the job.

I found where they stocked usb fans at Tesco, not among the electronics, seasonal or home shite where I'd expect they'd hide them, but at the petrol station.
"I've not touched anything" says mother after having touched everything in my old room and so likely threw away an important letter that I left in a visible spot without a second thought.

Found the letter but that excuse was still false.

My mum did this too, it was infuriating. She'd "tidy" things away and then I'd have to go hunting for important shit.
Fellow members of the British empire, I could use some advice regarding job seeking in the UK. I'm a dual Aussie, UK citizen so visas are no issue for me. I just need to know what the best job seeking website is for IT work.
Looking at moving over if I can't get this visa for the USA as my partner's parents pulled their sponsorship and Australia isn't an option for her.

It's a mum classic. Normally followed by her getting pissed off when you ask where she put the thing, claiming she hasn't touched it.
my mother once drunk a half bottle of rum that i had in my room when she cleaned it unexpectedly when i was away for a weekend. maximum cheeky.
Is anyone watching Richard Aoyades Crystal Maze tonight?
