Asterix Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Last night I struck a blow by arranging megablade cradles, 2 part foam and dirty, oily spax and coils on one of our house towels over the cream carpet in the lounge while SWMBO was watching TV. I even packaged one of them up for despatch, still "forgetting" to return the packaging tape to it's designated resting place . I also fight against this by leaving as much as I can lying around, especially as we're just about to leave the house . Small victories keep us sane, brothers . Quote
Kevin Wood Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Blatters Your comments are so true Indeed. Fortunately I have a study up in the loft, and SWMBO doesn't like the ladder that leads up there. As long as I can keep ignoring the nagging to get the ladder replaced I should be OK. Kevin Quote

RICHARD+PHILIP Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 The taffy mafia managed to hotwire my car once at Curborough they connected the ignition leads to the main beam switch and hey presto it worked! Slightly worrying what some westfield owners know really!!!!!! Although I would suggest a bunch of flowers and a grovelling apology! Quote

carpetstu Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Eddie , Kristin says that your misses hasn't said anything to her about your keys. Edited to add - She says you can have the spare office paperclip! Quote
a4gom Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 I've got the keys for mine do you want to swap Quote
Liam Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Yes, and "tidied away" is a euphemism for "it can be found in the bin" Quote
jeff oakley Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 If your wife has hidden them you have to think like a woman to find them! I would look in the dirty clothes bin, the kitchen cupboards, the washing machine in fact all the places my wife claims I never visit Quote
Crazy Eddie Posted January 22, 2008 Author Posted January 22, 2008 Cheers for advice guys and like the idea of getting rid of steering lock at some point (weight saving ) Well although it caused me a real stress the last couple of days they have "turned up" in the Utility Room??? Didn't know we had one of those I searched high and low and couldn't find them so sorted out garage and tidied it all up This looks like it gave her a false sence of security and told me that if I did the same with the rest of the house - not only would it be clean but they would turn up. That sounded like a con so in a Obsessive Compulsive Rage I set about throwing things out of cupboards and draws all over the floor At which point she shouted, "Oh my God that won't work! Go outside for a ciggie and I'll look." That's when they turned up I knew there would be a better way than flowers etc. Time to get some more keys cut me thinks and hide them myself all over the house Quote
In my dust Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 I can get ANY kit car started with or without keys in an emergency......... Unless it's mine and I leave the immobiliser dongle in my pocket! Quote
