Geoffs Life After Work !

Trauma,New and Old Cars and Lets GO !!

Arrived back in UK late last Wednesday and managed to make the Pub Thurs evening for the Quiz,my brain wasn,t working so hatted quite a lot with non players whilst drinking Cider .After a few alcoholic beverages I was co-hersed to playing in the Ladies darts team beginning 27 October!! Should be a hoot but I advised them I will only play IF they are short teamed and also require a lift to away matches (and they agreed!) Lasted until 11.30 pm and had to leave the pub early due to jet Lag.Spent Friday around the flat and my nephew came to see if my sick old car would make the Knackers Yard (it didn,t !)  I traveled 20 kms from home before it finally gave up completely ONE bloody Km from destination.Two likely lads came and pushed the car to  safe spot because it gave up at the bloody Traffic Lights! ( I honestly believe it knew it was going to DIE!!) Mechanic came and the bonnet actually froze so it could not be opened and he gave me a death certificate and ordered a tow truck ( fortunately I had a free pick up policy) the tow truck driver has migrated from London and we had some good laughs and the dead motor was hauled off in disgrace to its grave yard,I gave it a damned good kicking and said a few choice words before leaving the scrap yard (My £200 pound knack-car is now worth £2000 in part exchange for a new one!) On to much nicer things and my sparkling new car with all previous events fading into sort of likable memory as all ended up great ( this all should have happened yesterday Friday 13th!!) My new Kia Picanto is fantastic and a pleasure to drive and off course I drove to other families house to show off ( as one does) and now the UK is my Oyster but I will stay fairly local during the winter and travel further afield next Summer.All in all a very memorable day and now I will settle at home and drink lots of wine !! The kitchen stove has also packed in and landlord will put a new one in on Wednesday BUT I don,t care as I now have reliable transport ( i.e chippies,take away food,bottle shops,in other words  I am in Heaven!)  Life is Good
