Let us hope that Charlie will not give you cause you to use those tools.

Bonnet, boot?  I am told that the Mini is no longer a Brit car. Manufactured by the BMW outfit. If that is true then the trunk and hood is to be referred to with whatever German words describe those parts.  ;D

It can't have a trunk, it's a hatch back. Thus like my Outback, it has "under the hatch" or "in the back".

Edit: The new outback (still nameless - the old one was the 'Bus, on account of Subaru backward is U R A Bus, but that seems inappropriate for a new car) is sufficiently broken in and I want decals and shit... Except every one I find that's relevant to my interests is suuuuuper tacky...

They are made in Oxford so I think it still counts as an English car. At least that's how I'm justifying it because saying boot and bonnet in an obnoxious English accent is fun.

If it comes from Oxford, it's just naturally superior.

I need more tools. And a box to keep them in. That's not even considering a hard surface with a roof for the box to roll on and not get drenched when it rains. I have a concrete pad, just no supporting structure or roof. :(

I have 4 walls and 99% of a roof with no foundation or floor...

You need somebody to work on your car? With a few pallets and a little plywood we might be able to work out a trade...

QuoteThe case of a receptionist sent home from work for refusing to wear high heels has sparked a renewed push for companies to ban "sexist" and "out-dated" dress codes in the UK.

Temp worker Nicola Thorp, 27, says she was sent home from work in December last year for wearing flat shoes on her first day as a receptionist for finance company Pricewaterhouse Coopers (PwC).

According to a BBC report, Ms Thorp had signed the outsourcing company Portico's appearance policy, which stipulated that female employees were required to wear between 2 and 4-inch heels.

So this actually happened, our ABC says BBC says so, it must be so.
We cultured gents see fault in the female form, their natural posture simply does not please.
Now your footbinding from a young age, that was a sweet thing,  we can't demand that anymore, it's "cruel."  ::)
Yes I require my female staff to be high shoed so their asses present as I like.
Wave of political corecttitude approaches, duck and rise as it passes.

Take my advice, don't listen to me.

It did happen. But the company has now changed its policy and heel hight is no longer specified. For either gender.

Constantly.

The roof is complete except for some reason there's no peak. I no longer question these oddities. The previous owners were apparently just fucking weird.

Actively on my mind right now: Some JW's stopped by a couple weeks ago. Apparently my dog is complete whore for JW's, so BF ended up chatting with them a bit and left their Jesus tract on the board right inside the front door. It's taking all of my willpower to be respectful of his Catholicism and not draw a giant boner on Jesus.
