Go Us!

Around half a mile after leaving [livejournal.com profile] ao_lai's house this morning to drive to work, it slowly dawned on us that that weird noise just shouldn't be there.

Fortunately, following a small spate of them in the last two years or so, we are now a crack flat-tyre-changing squad. A fine demonstration of team-work and smooth tyre-exchange this morning, I thought.

Misread that as "cracked flat-tyre changing squad" at first glance. Which seemed about right.

You supervised, didn't you? (Mmmm... Clean hands ;-)

I did nothing of the sort :)

My specialities are finding jack points, pointing out the obvious, remembering which way things unscrew, operating the spare-wheel housing and bemoaning the fact that the sensible-sized wheelbrace was in my car back at [livejournal.com profile] ao_lai's house.

Yes, I've seen you doing that. A speciality indeed ;-)

It's more complicated than it sounds, especially when the questions about which way clocks go start cropping up! :)

Yeah, Toby's so amazingly primitive he still thinks wearing digital watches is a pretty neat idea :)
