Well done mate. You kept the cool in a pressure situation - a real leadership quality. Other lads would be roaring abuse at the garage, with sweat pouring out their red faces and the blood pressure through the roof. Enjoy the fry up - you deserve that one.

One sausage looks well done. Eggs 10/10
Is that a bit of fried bread?
Glad that you got sorted mate.
The eggs were unrale. Two poached eggs. Thanks for all the advice and offers (flatty). In the cinema now for the afternoon showing of Patriots day while Iām waiting.

Is this the same brain trust that organised the New Years Coup?

The coup was successful pal, the NOGRA now run this forum.
You should think about switching sides, as you have shown potential at times.

Donāt take this to heart, mate. The sabbatical was far more successful than your return.
Sigh away, but reflect on the fact you are aligned with the real rural simpletons. Hopefully at some stage that will give pause to a supposedly sophisticated exurbanite like yourself.
That was me actually

The TFK mechanic is up to 90 again 
Yesterday he was accusing me of telling Smark to push the reset button. Heās all over the shop. Badly found out.

About time I provided an update to those interested.
So the issue was the EGR valve was fucked and they had to replace it. The part alone was Ā£300 and the mechanic had to order the part in and worked 5hrs on the car. He put it on the diagnostics machine, also cleared up the other two minor issues. He slotted me in ahead of everyone else and worked until 6.30pm getting it done. I would imagine labour was at least another Ā£300 on top of the part so it is a fair old bill the dealer is paying.
I had a lovely day waiting for the car to be fixed. As mentioned before I went to Patriots Day at the cinema, which I thought was excellent. I also got a haircut off a Turkish fella. The garage owner kept me updated during the day about the progress and assured me I would be able drive away same day. Also gave me a spare car as mentioned before. When my car was ready he was out but one of his underlings (a cunt) dropped me over for the car. I had good chat with the mechanic who was a sound man himself. He said the fault is fierce common in my car.
At 8.30pm I got a phone call from the boss man to ask was I happy with the car now, apologised again for inconvenience, wished me safe trip home and to text him when I got back. I thought it was a nice touch ringing me at that hour of the evening. The guy couldnāt have done any more for me and my positive aspersions day one about his character came home to roost for me. These things happen and they are selling enough cars that I have no doubt he didnāt know there was a fault in the car.
Got the 2.30am ferry back to Dublin and arrived in the door at home at 9am on the button tired and in need of a shower, but damn pleased to be home. While on the ferry i managed to get into the premium section with free food, hot and cold drinks, massive TV with a film on and loads of comfortable couches and chairs. There were special codes required to get in there but when I spotted a woman coming out the door of premium I stealthily and without second thought seized my opportunity by sliding my hand behind the door just before it closed and calmly walked in. Once in there however i couldnāt come out again and re-enter without a code so I just remained in there enjoying the privileges and comfort until the sailing ended. It really made the crossing all the more enjoyable not having to slum it with the riff raff you get in the economy section of ferries.
Car is sitting outside the house now and looking good if I say so myself.
