Those prices are crazy! 😳
Especially considering you live in the backside of nowhere, you're in your 50's & the Jaaaaaaag isn't a high performance vehicle.
I'd have expected the prices to be around the £200-£250 mark.

Yep, I paid £220 for my Jaaagg and that’s a newer 300bhp estate so worth more.
Your driving record must be pretty suspect Duck or maybe it’s the added ornaments :unsure:

No matter what size boxes or shelves you buy, or build @Scrappy they will never hold everything. I think it's a law of the universe. Back when I had a more substantial collection of CD's than I have now and actually played them rather than encoding them to MP3 and then putting them away as I do now, I built a set of floor to ceiling shelves all carefully calculated sized etc. but of course I would get them all in rows ordered by artist and release date and then, at the end of every row there would be a boxset that would have to go on the next shelf or a band would decide to put out a boxset in a tall 'book' style package or even like an old style vinyl record boxset. I have lost count of how many times I have looked for a workbox, built storage etc. only to be thwarted in my aim of 'getting it all tidied away'!

It's a variation of Parkinson's Law.

Parkinson’s Law is the idea that work expands to fill the time allotted for its completion. Usually meaning you take longer than necessary to complete a task or procrastinate and complete the task right at the last minute. Don't you?

I've gone off on one this morning at work..Driver wearing a gay pride trans bender badge...
I ain't allowed to wear any of my badges...
So I asked for an explanation in my own unique way...
Turns out his son identifies as a girl that wants to be recognised as a girl that wants to be a boy that wants to be a girl..
The fuck is all that about...Anyway my head exploded along with my gob and I still can't wear my badges...

Bloody puffs 🤯🤯🤯🦆

When you buy shelves for your CD collection... only to discover it too fucking small 🤬

I think what annoys the fork out of me when you buy shelving units for a specific purpose, the shelves are never the right size. As evidenced by the cds stacked on top of the ones on the shelf. Why could they not add another shelf, and shorten the heights of the spacing.

I rate that as not fit fir purpose... Though I bet its marketed as cd/dvd shelving.

So, these 'CDs' you all keep going on about, what are they exactly

Things you dangle on fishing line to scare next doors cat away from your chickens.

What does annoy me with CDs is how they are often different to the vinyl they are supposed to be the same as.

This intro


Was on the Live and Dangerous album on vinyl, but not on the CD of the same name for instance. CDs are handy, but I like my vinyl.

I'm somewhat pissed off about a trumpet I bought from a shop in Edinburgh last Friday. The shop promised it would be shipped on Monday. I recommended Royal Mail as I have found them cheap and fast for shipping within Scotland. The shop finally booked it in with DHL Express on Tuesday. DHL didn't pick it up until Wednesday and, with their EXPRESS service predicted that it would be here on Friday. I checked their tracking and this morning DHL EXPRESS handed the trumpet over to their 'delivery partner'. I am willing to bet that that 'Delivery Partner' who is due to deliver it tomorrow will be none other than the Royal Mail! Some EXPRESS service that takes four days to deliver and uses a 'delivery partner' for the final leg of the journey who, if they had done it on their own, would have gotten it to me the next day from when it was posted using their regular service! Not sure who is worse, the shop who didn't do as promised and get it away on Monday and who didn't take my advice on the best way to get things shipped to my area or DHL whose express service takes three times the amount of time that the regular Royal Mail takes from Edinburgh to Argyll.
