I did the Diesel Dance

I spotted the patch of diesel too late; I was
fully commited to the bend anyway.

As my rear tyre went slippy slidey I thought:

" Oh **** - here we go"

Fortunately, it was a small patch, about 1 m sq.

Next thought was: " It'll be ok though as there (for once) is no car
following 3 ft behind me, I will just do the standard lowside getoff"

Rear wheel found the dry tarmac, and with a twitch things were
back to normal.

I hate Diesel.

Must have been a very long slide.

 

What you gain on the slides, you'll lose on the roundabouts.

 

....thus rendering it no longer cool

 

Nothing cool about the streams of diesel around Preston recently.
What the **** happens, no cap on the tank? no brain engaged?

From the interest I have been taking(1) in truck fuel tanks recently, I
would say that the spillages are mostly caused by older trucks
with badly fitting caps ie worn out ones.

1. Park near a place with lots of trucks. (2)

2. Ok ok Lorry then

 

My memory is, as you, a bit shit - can you remind me of what you have
gone and gotted recently?

 

Or a broken fuel return pipe. This returns unused fuel to the tank,
often breaks, does not get noticed for months sometimes.

So *you*, with your 3-bed semi, wife, kid, family car, boy's motorbike
and Gordon Ramsay cookbook think that *I'm* ready for pipe and
slippers?

 

Oh goody.

 

<retires defeated>

 

Hear the roar of the midlife crisis!

 

now I've got the image of Champ in a yellow leotard - thanks.

 

When will it ever end?

 

In your case, I'm not sure it ever will.

 

Swot I fort. Which turns it from a mid-life crisis into plain
ordinary neuroses, no?
