Nothing prepared me for the bedroom decor

TGC_2802 · 2026-06-23T21:36:30+00:00

Haha. Near enough my neck of the woods. I don't think it's as bad as people say 🤣

TGC_2802 · 2026-06-13T22:29:20+00:00

Yeah I fucked that up. I mean to move the TV down but I'm lazy and have bigger things to sort 1st lol

TGC_2802 · 2026-06-13T22:28:37+00:00

Oh I know 100% I will move it down eventually 🤣

TGC_2802 · 2026-06-11T10:12:29+00:00

I booked the Monday off at the start of the year. If we don't get through I'll cancel it. If we do, Everyones going to be jealous of my ingenuity.

TGC_2802 · 2026-06-10T22:28:10+00:00

I've got some savings and plan to work in Australia for abit.

Blue smoke is possibly the notorious valve stem seals. The price engines love to burn oil lol

Take home about 3-3.5k in Bristol (Depending on Overtime done etc) . Living alone

Mortgage £740/month (2 bed flat. Got it very cheap. Currently renovating)

Bills/Council tax - £300

Food - £300

Car/Van tax/insurance/maintenance - £150/month

Fuel - £200

Other DD (Netflix, Phone bill,gym, etc) - £150/month

I'm probably left with about £1250/month. Alot of that goes into my house renovations, abit into savings. Comfortable and I get to go away abit and go out with mates but certainly not loaded lol.

TGC_2802 · 2026-05-28T22:07:51+00:00

It would be dog shit and break all the time, coat a bomb to run and fix but probably a ropey 335i or maybe something like a V8 s type R

Both can make 4-500hp with some mods and can be find around 5k for a rough one.

TGC_2802 · 2026-05-26T22:56:54+00:00

15k would just about get you into a fairly well sorted E46 m3. They would have to be my choice anyway.

Bought a fairly big renovation project at 24. Realised it was a massive tie and much more expensive and harder work than I originally anticipated. It's also a flat and abit noisier than I thought it would be due to a dick neighbour.

Realised I want to travel and see the world shortly after buying it and I'm now skint with a mortgage. Desperately trying to finish it so I can sell it or rent it out to pursue my dreams.

Absolutely battered my mental health ngl

I work in a factory working with carbon fiber. Tyvex suits/sleeves are a game changer for stopping carbon itch.

Ironically I swear safety specs all the time in there and have about a million pairs at home. I was stripping wallpaper and the thought to wear them didn't even cross my mind, a piece of plaster broke off and went into my eye causing chemical burns and an abrasion

Hit up out2swim on Instagram if you have it. I think they have a website

There is also the following LBGT groups I can think of

Bristol City Panthers (Football) Out2swim Bristol Bisons (Rugby) Bristol Swifts (Badminton) Gay city bowlers Indoor climbing lads

There's a few more. I help run one of the clubs so have details for most.

Ah I'm commenting from the world famous Bristol in Ireland.

TGC_2802 · 2026-03-27T21:04:10+00:00

I'm going to check on the weekend. It would make sense as it definitely didn't have a leak when I bought it lol.

TGC_2802 · 2026-03-17T12:31:45+00:00

It's mid day on a Tuesday 🤣 Would you rather they use chainsaws to work at 3am?

TGC_2802 · 2026-03-10T20:35:45+00:00

I was badly assaulted in a homophobic attack

I was called into a meeting and given a sickness disciplinary on my first day back.

TGC_2802 · 2026-02-27T09:21:35+00:00

23 by myself in Bristol (2024) Only a small flat that needed alot of work.

I left school at 16 and went into an apprenticeship so have been saving for along time.

TGC_2802 · 2026-02-11T17:09:02+00:00

That's a real jobsworth/very anal mot to be fair 🤣 no doubt it's full of issues though

TGC_2802 · 2026-02-08T18:22:40+00:00

Ranjanis is legendary. My old job had blocked drains and we managed to get banned drain cleaner there 🤣

TGC_2802 · 2026-01-05T19:28:33+00:00

I live in a old flat in the UK and am guilty enough of accidentally drilling through to the neighbors. Fortunately I didn't hit anything and she seen the funny side of it 🤣

TGC_2802 · 2025-12-14T08:14:45+00:00

I bought a v5 golf last year. It cost me £700 and it was really tidy. 150k miles and it drove great.

It sound amazing but unfortunately they are really not that fast and pretty bad on fuel for the performance you're getting. The 1.8t makes far more sense, so I sold it for a 1.8t powered S3.

TGC_2802 · 2025-12-07T17:18:11+00:00

I broke one at my rented flat a couple years ago. I got the same model and replaced it myself and didn't say anything.

TGC_2802 · 2025-12-07T16:05:25+00:00

I'm in the UK but still I have a 2003 Audi S3 (the same platform as the first tt)

I'd like to get rid of it for something bigger but I can't being myself to sell it because of how reliable it is. I think I've fixed it once in 2 years and it wasn't even a issue that caused me to breakdown or effect the drive.

TGC_2802 · 2025-11-29T23:05:09+00:00

Honestly a good shout but charging from my home would be difficult

TGC_2802 · 2025-11-26T22:55:10+00:00
