Two new sets of tyres - mini review

The kwak is still refusing to die so I put the cheapest tyres I could get on it to see me through the winter and maybe next year if I can be arsed to get it through another MOT.

Got Conti Motions, they're fine in the dry, turn in nicely, feel nicely pliable but they're not as good as Roadsmarts in the wet. Not dangerous but they do kick off wet white lines and drain covers a bit. If I were in it for the long term I'd pay a bit extra and get some Roadsmarts or PR2s.

Splashed out on some PR4s for the Falco. They handled the 9 miles from the tyre place in the pissing down rain without any issues but then my battery shit the bed. They look nice. Black and round with groovy grooves in and stufff.

You do know what 'motion' is an euphemism for, don't you?

Hadn't thought about it that way but conti motion does sort of suggest an unexpected movement. Long as it doesn't get to the scared to fart stage...

Here's some cursive script just for you.

Is that not a phrasal verb?

Yes, yes it is.

Though I'd have expected you to leap on the redundancy in the previous sentence first.
You're not going to go all all grammar nazi on someone that read English at a half arsed poly a long time ago are you?

You cunting spunkbubble.

I only recall pheasant verbs from teaching English though it was funnier when one of the students asked about a gerund and I said " I dunno what language you are speaking but its not English !"
I still blamed him tve next day once I'd found out what it was for having a lousy accent

Hmnnn same could apply here really .... And Alad we take it in turns depending what mood flossie is in ;)

I think he's smashing but I've been too tied up to insult him for a while...

Think dominant is Nick's lad?

I guess if he left you tied up, he's the dominant one. Another question answered

It was a misunderstanding, he thought I was a burglar. Apparently he forgot about me while he was downloading some software. Gimp or something.
