Re: Vaccine megathread
With bird flu now apparently being transmissible to humans and cattle, how long before we're being coerced into taking the latest vaccine for the next pandemic? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-13263483/amp/bird-flu-experts-h5n1-virus-human-epidemic-cattle-outbreak.html?ico=amp_articleInli...

Re: Rusty lug nuts - how to get the last three off?
Heat them and try actually tightening them a little first with a stillson wrench before loosening, that usually works.

Re: Annoyances & Irritations
After a chest x-ray, two blood tests and three ECGs the hospital have determined that there's nothing wrong with my heart and my doctor was simply overreacting to high iron levels and that there's a family history of heart issues. What a fukcing relief, it's scary the thoughts that can go through yo...

Re: Car Tyres
I'd imagine it's a slightly more expensive option to get the mechanic to change the tyres, rather than you going to direct to a dedicated tyre centre yourself. The wheels will also need alignment which most tyre centres can do.

Re: To Catch A Copper.

Of the the five accused officers, none were actually convicted of anything and offered only to blame their own inexcusable actions on ...

Dont want to appear like a creepy stalker type but It's a month today since Isha last posted on Gubu.
It's not quite the same without her daily matriarchal musings.
Anyone know what the story is?

We bought our daughter an identical looking 09 Fiesta as her first car a month ago for €3300, however the dealer has had it back for the last week trying to find where its leaking as the carpets were all wet. Apart from that it seems to be a good enough car, but as someone who now has three 08/09 ca...

Have to question is there really any such thing as far right and far left? when in reality, their ideologies overlap in many instances.
