Default Top Tip Of The Day

I don't know about you lot but where I park my car I always pay attention to any fluids that are on the floor. If it's red,gearbox oil,if its watery,I have a little taste off the end of my finger,Just water,obviously just rain water left from the previous nights downfall or just from the air-con. If it tastes sweet,oh dear,anti-freeze! Oh bugger,head gasket or hopefully just a leaky joint or a holed pipe.

Then again if it tastes slightly bitter,it's probably dog pee, Yes folks.at half past eight this morning I was tasting dog pee and my daughter was howling with laughter! Feel such a berk now!

Daughter brings her boyfriend home in deepest Mid winter at 2AM & theres 2 foot of snow on the ground......... In the morning here Parents are discussing the fact that their daughters Boyfriend Had Peed His Name in the snow outside the front door....

Mother "Did you Notice that Amy's Boyfriend Had "peed his Name" in the snow outside the front door"

Father "Yes I did Notice that"

Mother Aren't you Annoyed about it"???

Father That he "Peed his Name" NO NOT REALLY, That his Name was WRITTEN IN OUR DAUGHTERS HANDWRITING ?? YES That Did Worry me slightly"
