MegaSack DRAW - 6pm Christmas Eve - LIVE on our YouTube Channel
The scummy git who snapped the Halfords Advance 1/2 to 3/8 reducing socket then returned it to the shop in its original packaging for a refund no doubt.
The staff member of Halfords who took the return , refunded the cash , but didnt bother to check the product before returning it to the glass cabinet of shineyness in Halfords.
Myself being stupid and acting on faith that the socket adapter i bought at Halfords didnt need checking before leaving the shop car park. #
Having battled the xmas Brussel sprout rush for 20 mins to get to Halfords to purchace said reducer so I could use my torque wrench witha 10mm deep enabling new glow plugs to be installed , to drive 20 mins home. Open box, release some profanities into the ether , back in car for another 20min crawl and play the find a parking space game again. The girl in Halfords was an angel though.
and my car has a new set of glow plugs which all released easily despite having a reputation for snappage ,hence the Torque wrench.
The scummy git part is a bit harsh seeing as whoever it was returned the unusable part for a full refund what did they do wrong ?
Put it back into its original packaging , along with the 3/8 >1/4 adapter then presumably asking for a refund for whatever reason. Rather than showing the staff the busted part and risking ' nah mate , thats been abused , not a warranty job, soz ' from the staff. Despite Halfords Advance kit having a great reputation for replacement parts , maybe he didnt want another one as this one sheared and a 1/2 drive socket was actually required .-or bigger .
Chefs. Just people chucking stuff into saucepans etc.
Gift vouchers
They can get in the sea.
I've finally found a use for gift cards.
I've long held that gift cards are crap. Like, I wanted to get you a gift but didn't know what to get, so I thought I'd just give you the money only make it less useful. Or, it's your auntie giving you a book token so that you don't "waste" the money (I was legit a big reader as a kid, but we had a well-stocked library...)
But. The Girl's bloke is getting a PS5 for Christmas. We wanted to get him a game to go with it as she's bought the bare console rather than a bundle. Aside from the fact that we don't really know what he'd want, it's a digital-only console with no optical drive. Solution, gift card, redeemable for a game or a PS+ subscription or what have you, then he's got something other than an expensive paperweight on Christmas day. Plus a £50 code 'only' cost me £42.😁
