Shared my honest opinion of our newly revised (again) project plan with my boss.

Car seems to be running better after the petrol incident the other week, after some searching a little bit of petrol, "not a lot"

will clean the injectors out.

I was giving my car a quick clean and left the passanger door wide open when putting the vacuum back in the house. I decided to take my car to the car wash to give it a quick rinse. I didn't notice a cat had got into my car and was sleeping on the back seat. When I stopped at the junction it woke up and went crazy. My heart almost exploded with fright.

I made a nice dent in the wall when moving our new bedside tables upstairs, best to say I got a nice ear battering from the wife.

he used to tell me tales about when he was younger he said he was some sort of enforcer for them I just thought it was tosh. His misses also spun a yarn about him mis treating her. I found out the truth because soon after she took him on Jeremy Kyle and made him have a lie detector saying she thought he had cheated in revenge. Luckily I was only mentioned as the other guy lol

A while ago I was crossed by someone and I was incensed: I ill wished him and within the week he was cut down by a stroke aged 40! Never been the same since.

You could call it coincidence but my mother seemed to able despatch people regularly who crossed her in the neighbourhood.

lol a bit of witch craft eh lol

Put a claim into the council, and go for a new alloy wheel as well.

They'll just turn round and say, "it's been reported so we aren't paying out".

Interestingly if you look at the chemical safety sheet for a popular diesel injector cleaner Petrolium is one of the formulas ingredients up to 5%. Others include kerosine (75%) and naptha. So you've probably done some good.

So Redex diesel treatment has petrol in it?
