My friend told me how the other day he was stuck at home for several hours trying, and failing, to fix his sons cherished car that had failed to start that morning.
When the mechanic turned up to tow the car away my friend took a photo of it on the mechanics trailer.
“Good news” he told his son and showed the photo.
“I got £60 for it!”
“Bad news” he added
“We’re going halves on it”

I'd like to see her hair BEFORE the incident.

We are planning a trip to Denmark. Part of the journey involves a Danish train.
When I book a ticket do I get a choice of smoked or unsmoked carriage?

I would feel very scared if it occurred to me as well. It is fortunate that she can find humor in what happened. Thanks for sharing, it made me smile.

It is one of those mishaps that are funny if you know that the outcome was okay.

Biden joked about Trump’s mental fitness at Saturday night’s Gridiron club dinner, a traditional “roast” attended by politicians and journalists dating to the 1880s.

“One candidate is too old and mentally unfit to be president. The other one is me,” the president said.

A proposal to change the name of a Lincolnshire university will be put to education regulators next month, officials have said.

Bishop Grosseteste University (BGU) will be called Lincoln Bishop University if the idea is approved by the Office for Students.

The institution, which was granted university status in 2012, said the move would "better represent its location".

It's the poor what gets the blame
It's the rich what gets the pleasure
Isn't it a blooming shame?

I do; perhaps Pirsig's friend would have been less upset with a gold plated shim, my current choice for my British Eagle's drive-side bb cup.
