All better now

If one more person says ‘your car went wrong because it was the 13th’ I will punch them in the goolies.
Actually, the car is fine now. Simon the Lovely Mechanic Guy at work (who is actually an IT guy but loves to tinker with cars) had a fiddle with it during our lunch break today and it seems perfectly alright now. I have rewarded him with a bottle of his favourite alcohol and a handshake. He did tell me what the problem was but my understanding of cars is on a par with my understanding of women’s attitudes to shopping, so I got a bit lost and confused. I said “The important thing I need to know, Simon, is - if it happens again, will you be able to fix it for me again?” He said “Yes, but you can avoid it happening again if you just….” but by then I had tuned out and ignored the rest of his sentence. The day I start getting interested in car maintenance is the day David Cameron starts getting interested in poor people.
I’m SO politicial!!!!
