What is the difference between sending a small parcel 1st class or "Guaranteed by 1o'clock tomorrow". I know that one of the answers is £3.35! :?

Special Delivery (Guaranteed before 1 the following day) is trackable, which is important for sending eBay stuff as it prevents people from making false chargeback claims via paypal. :wink: [/sorry, as you were...]

"Ooh I know!" He says, "I'll order myself a brake pipe flaring kit, that'll be useful!"
Buys the only one he can currently afford, it arrives in the post a day later.
"Hmm, I've never used one of these before, lets look on Youtube at how to use it properly, before I cock it up."
Upon watching the video he notices some little black round things called dies being put in the pipe...
"I didn't see any of those in there..."
He goes and checks, nope, there wasn't any.
"I've just bought a paperweight, fantastic."

Guess who is now very annoyed?

Here in Qatar diesel cost 0.7 Riyals per litre. Click here to convert that to GBP if you are feeling strong.

All people in Quatar should be shot. This is not a racist statement, merely an economic truth :twisted:

Oops I just discovered the major flaw of a choke that can only be put on from under the bonnet.

Bruce is completly immobile untill the snow melts and it thaws enough to release the bonnet that is frozen shut. Now if I fire it up that wont take long but I cant fire it up because I cant open the bonnet :lol:

Why did I think it was a good idea to use Facebook for work? Now I'm being asked by everyone I went to school with to be their friend, well friends where have you been for the last 13 years I ask?
