You’d think I’d’ve learned by now, wouldn’t you. I mean, it’s happened every
time I’ve ever bought something expensive on the basis that there’s nothing I’m
expecting to need to do that’s expensive, and that I’m thinking “oh, I’ve had a
fairly quiet month”.
And then, lo, as soon as I’ve spent the money something incredibly expensive
happens. It happened when I bought the PC, it happened when I bought the hdd for
the RiscPC, it happened when I bought the hdd for the A440, it happens every
fucking time.
*sigh*
And lo, it happened again.
I buy an iPaq, and….yes….my car breaks down.
The shit in the petrol tank problem has reared its head again. So that was 100 quid down the drain 2 years ago, and it’s going to be another
130 quid or so this year. At least this time, I’m going to get a new tank.
Albeit a pattern part.
But of course, I’m meant to be taking my dad to the hospital on Sunday. So,
I’m going to have to fix my bike because there’s no way on this planet that I’m
doing a 120 mile round trip in a car which packs up every 15 miles or so.
*sigh*
