The other half has been having some drama with his car recently, well, I say recently it’s actually been going on for a few years — there are several little things wrong with it such as rattles and his main complaint that the wing mirrors often stick and don’t move in and out as they are supposed to. He has taken it to the garage several times but each time they just come back and say the same thing, ‘No fault found’.

His warranty runs out today, so he booked it in to the garage on Tuesday for one last attempt at getting it fixed. Alas he got the same answer as usual, no fault found — so as he was sat in the car park, grumpily waiting to set off and wishing he had gone for the Ford extended warranty rather than just the basic one — the mirrors stuck and the window would not wind down.

Score! There was no way they could say there was no fault now because it was staring them right in the face They say they are not sure what is causing it as their tests really did show no faults, but that since it was an ongoing issue they would take care of it even out of warranty.

Great result, and now hopefully it will eventually be sorted — it drives him mad every time it happens!

Only 2 days to go before it starts, not even that long really — this time in 2 days I will have watched the opening episode.

Squee Squee.

It’s a while since I have been this excited about a show, it is how I used to feel in the run up to Big Brother UK before it…well…got crap. I used to feel it over shows like Survivor and The Amazing Race also, but as much as I still do love them they are on so often that it’s hard to get excited — there’s never more than a few months gap between seasons.

I am sure I will be blogging about it almost every day once it begins, so prepare yourselves

So, I have watched five of the six episodes now and I have to say — I don’t know what all the fuss was about, it’s not that great.

I keep waiting for something to happen, in terms of the story actually developing past ‘We are living in a big house and keep meeting people who are all bastards’ basically.

I did think it was only a six part series, but I am guessing there will be more to come because at five episodes in it is no where near a conclusion.

I have enjoyed it, don’t get me wrong. But I was expecting a lot more.
