    Imagine being drunk as shit and instead of going to the toilet you just move the mattress aside and go just straight shitting diarrhea down into your bathtub.

            Damn that’s a sweet car, my condolences. A friend of mines Octavia RS got stolen a couple months ago.

                  My partner went all “Burt Macklin, FBI” and paid £60 to activate the Seat app. You can honk the horn remotely from the app so Burt Macklin kept doing it at night to piss the thieves off. It just so happened that they hadn’t turned the GPS off when the car turned on we could track it. It was taken to a super dodgy estate of car garages about 10 mins away from us. We called the police and told them exactly where our car was - we weren’t overly impressed by the police response at this point so my partner caught an Uber down to meet the police (who were just wondering around aimlessly). My partner showed them the app, showed them the map and then honked the horn for them, where it beeped from the other side of the shutter. Then the police got a warrant, the garage owner came down, opened up and cooperated. He “had no idea” it was stolen, despite the clearly visible tape stuck on the number plate to alter the registration. He wasn’t arrested but I assume he’ll be charged with handling stolen goods if he doesn’t give up the name of the person who brought it to him. He handed over the keys and the police took it in for forensics to be done on the tape. They finished with it yesterday. Tomorrow the insurance are collecting it and changing the locks and replacing the keys. Then we’ll get it back!

                  The funniest part of the whole thing is what it was doing in the garage… literally 3 months after I got it I stupidly scraped the rear passenger side. It’s a motability car (I swap my disability benefits for a car on this scheme, a bit like a lease) and that damage would have meant I didn’t get the “good condition bonus” of £350 when I get my next car in 18 months. The thieves had bought it in to get the scratches fixed and the garage owner had started the job. The insurance will fix the damage when they replace the locks, all covered by the £100 excess I paid for the cover car! It was still a massive ball ache, and they stole other stuff from the car, but it could have been a lot worse!

      You know you don’t have to say everything you think, right?

      You’ve got that special something. I can’t quite put my finger on it, or in it, but I know it’s somehow related to how humans made it this far.

        Pissing into a plastic bag, throwing it in the shower like a water balloon.

        It’s the way the London Underground is split up, in kinda circles from the centre point. Zone 1 is a fairly small area of central London, zone 2 is a little further out etc. Zone 3 is the closest most people could possibly afford to live. My sister lives in zone 5 and works in Westminster. It’s about a 45 min commute on the tube.

          Hey that’s not too bad! I was in Zone 3 with a roughly 60 min commute, including walking times to and from the station. Actual train time was probably 35 minutes on the Central line.

            Yeah, she’s lucky there’s a fast train that cuts travel time right down. And she can almost see the station from her flat.

        Heh that was in the man’s bathroom in a home improvement episode, before smartphones that was the dream…so you didn’t have to read shampoo bottles or remember your Mad magazine.
