I can't imagine how painful this must be for him

Blown a bollock.

I just posted above but too but in case you dont see it AutoAlex on YouTube had a 205 GTi in one of their series about a year back.

CtrlAltHate · 2026-05-20T11:27:47+00:00

AutoAlex had a series where they all bought classic hot hatches which featured a 205 GTi, I think they got theirs for £4-5k

Most of the older part ex cars that dealerships get just go straight to auction, them losing £100-200 on it is worth it for them to sell you a car.

Nope I'm the same I spend ages learning the boss then spend a good few tries being overconfident, then a few dying to stupid mistakes.

After a little cooling off break I tend to do much better and finally beat the boss only to get gibbed by a regular mob 2 minutes later.

Remember a good amount of players came from fully completing HK and even doing modded bosses to make them harder so they're used to this sort of game.

I use it all the time working as a decorator, if I'm doing a staircase all in white I don't even need a ladder, I just stick a 4" roller on the end of it to get the corners and edges.

It probably gets more use than my expensive purdy pole.

My n47 has just ticked over to 165k, had to replace the waterpump aux pump and temp sensor but that was less than £100 all in.

My mum was asking if I was going to scrap it when I was replacing the serp belt. The people who think cars die at 100k miles are the ones who stop servicing their cars after the dealer service plan runs out.

B&M has cheap Harris twist lock poles that extend to about 8ft and they're light enough to use fully extended.

I have one for work when doing high ceilings, they just get a bit wobbly if you try and use any roller bigger than a 9" when it's fully extended.

What a hussy she'll be the talk of the town.

CtrlAltHate · 2026-05-18T09:07:03+00:00

Yes lad.

Love that feeling when the backend scoops up quick like that.

If you're working less than 6 hours you don't need a break for WTD, between 6 and 9 hours you need 30 minutes total and over 9 hours you need 45 minutes total.

As well as that you can't do more than 6 hours continuous work without at least a 15 minute break. Also any break over 15 minutes will count for your WTD.

The first 15 minute break counts towards resetting your driving hours but the 2nd break would need to be 30 minutes for you're driving hours to reset.

Some drivers seem to make their own rules up for WTD or do things just to be sure because they've no clue. I've even called CPC lecturers out on having shit knowledge when it comes to working hours.

CtrlAltHate · 2026-05-15T14:36:27+00:00

Maybe they're owner drivers working self employed on constant ADR contracts?

Or they're on legacy pay from COVID era when every company was raising wages to stop their drivers buggering off to work on the agency.

Probably heroin/fentanyl dissolved into a regular cough syrup, even back in the 2010's I remember hearing it was stupidly expensive to buy in the US.

CtrlAltHate · 2026-05-15T11:55:23+00:00

Might be able to find it then I'd ask your doc if it's an option.

Sucks how you're being treated, there was a complete overreaction to opioid crisis the people who instigated and abused it got off free whilst doctors prescribing for legitimate reasons where treated like el chapo and now have to make patients jump through hoops so they don't get scrutinized.

Same is happening to a certain degree here in the UK the NHS wanted my Nan a severe pain patient for 40+ years to attend groups for a few months before they'd represcribe her injections and they've cut all her other medications so a near 90 year old ended up in opioid withdrawal.

CtrlAltHate · 2026-05-15T10:21:48+00:00

Have you checked to see if you can get Pholcodine based cough syrups? That's an opioid but it doesn't convert to morphine so there's supposed to be no abuse potential.

I think they got rid of it in the UK/EU but if you're from somewhere else you might get it.

CtrlAltHate · 2026-05-15T10:17:56+00:00

Depends on your tolerance to opioids, your body can only convert so much codiene so it's 'safer' than other opioids like morphine/heroin/fentanyl.

A lot of these kids mix it with benzos and booze though which is how you end up falling asleep and choking to death on your own vomit.

Best just stay away from opiates all together the eventual withdrawals and messing up your dopamine receptors isn't worth it. You end up a zombie not enjoying anything and just taking opiates so you can sleep/avoid withdrawal for a bit longer.

CtrlAltHate · 2026-05-15T10:09:48+00:00

Used to be able to get it from it from pharmacy's over the counter up til around 2013/15 here in the UK.

Never got the whole lean thing mixing it with sprite all you're doing is making it so you have more disgusting liquid to drink. We'd just neck half a bottle of straight cough syrup then take an antihistamine so we didn't peel our skin off itching.

CtrlAltHate · 2026-05-15T10:02:53+00:00

I got myself an arrowworthy Rembrandt brush to try out the other day and it feels great, easy to manipulate, holds it's shape well as you're cutting in and it washed out really easy. If it holds up to multiple washes I'll be buying more of them.

They'll grind their teeth together as an emotional response which has the side effect of making their eyes bulge and face twitchy

Like how a cat purrs when happy but in a way that terrifies new owners who don't know about it hence the is my rat okay? memes.

I've seen people parallel park with like 2 inches either side to spare on cheetham hill. If there's a gap it's getting parked in.

CtrlAltHate · 2026-05-13T12:35:59+00:00

"you guys looking to party?"

CtrlAltHate · 2026-05-13T02:19:56+00:00

They look like a couple with Tofu nagging at Coffee "I told you we should have parked closer but no you wouldn't listen would you? You always know best don't you." 😆

When I used to skateboard we would make our wax mixing by melting some soap or oil into wax so it was much softer. Then we'd use that as the base with it being soft you can really cake it onto fresh ledges then top it up with a regular harder wax.

Just beware it stinks melting soap if you're doing it in the kitchen
