In other serious news, I found a scratch running lengthways down the left side of my car, from my side mirror to my fuel cap. Either someone lightly keyed my car or some bloody bird scraped her handbag along the length of my car. It's very deep, I doubt it will buff out. Sad Wabbit :(

I don't think it would be a bird.
More likely a cat on a skate board.   :D
Nonsense.













This is Africa, it was obviously a lion ;)

Yeah, he thought it was the back of a couch!  :D

+ picked up the Rav4, all sweet and smooth
- 1 injector had "held open" ( :Dunno:) causing the entire fuel system to shut down (under-bonnet diagnostic port revealed this, apparently)
+ it cost me zilch, nowt, nada, zero

So what was their head gasket diagnosis?
The diagnosis/repair time for injectors isnt super impressive, good but fairly simple diagnosis and easily replaced parts overnight.

( ) Anyone notice Google's lack of a theme for the day?
( ) Not only that, but the icon in my brower shortcut has been updated to a new pastel logo.
 -  In preparation for my Spanish translation tests, I tried Google News in Spanish: They aren't doing it anymore! :Shocked:
:link: Google Noticias en España - Ayuda de Google Noticias
 +  I can still do a normal Google search and pick up Spanish news headlines, just not using Google News.  :p

I also see the Google Doodle ir whatever they call it is missing. Also not a huge fan of the new logo...

Google seems to be failing you, Gonz :p

+ had a lovely dinner last night with a lady friend of mine, and I actually had some semisweet red wine and didn't hate it. The last time I had wine was years ago, I'll admit, but it was less than stellar...

-  the supposed 'scary movie' we watched (Oculus) wasn't at all scary. I have yet to find a movie that can freak me out as well as Poltergeist did all those years ago.

- I am at work today for a branch that went down and will probably be here until the mall closes. So much for my weekend plans :(

So it didn't scare her pants off then!  :snigger:

Was it a tree branch or an office of some company?  :confused:

Not quite, no :p

Dazz, I think you're 'bark'ing up the wrong tree here. Although it wood be quite funny if they called me in to investigate something like a tree branch. That would stump me completely! Although I do wish they would leaf me alone over weekends...

Very clever guys! I taught you well!  :P

I wooden have believed it, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes!

This is a bit of a trunk-ated topic though.
