My vehicle exhaust has developed a slight blow due to corrosion and the passage of time. The car was placed on the lift and I was able to see for myself what was required. I'm quite competent with Oxytaceteline welding, but currently don't have the equipment. I was informed that I will need an entire new exhaust system, then further informed that my vehicle (a Nissan x trail) must be an imported model, because their catalogue only shows the vehicle as having the exhaust on the right hand side. They don't, I checked... So that requires the whole system to be removed and sent off to the factory so they can replicate it... As this is my sole means of transport, they eventually stated that it may be possible to obtain a couple of other boxes and weld them on, if I didn't mind a bit of extra noise... For R8000. On the dot. I've heard of employee incentivisation, but really? Anyway, R400 later by the roadside, and it's working fine. Maybe not for as long as a new system, but good enough. Go ***** someone else.
<p>I'm not sure who is the bigger idiot, myself or themselves... Certainly I was idiotic to purchase a take away portion of cold mushroom salad... I must have been off my head. I certainly spent the next 24hrs on 'the Head'.</p> <p>And I'm not talking about a grumbly tummy - at one stage I seriously thought I would need an intravenous drip to keep me going. Having traveled to many parts of the world where food hygine is considered an optional extra, I've developed the constitution of a junkyard dog, but this was a different order of magnitude entirely.</p> <p>I honestly didn't think it was possible for the human body to expel so much fluid, through so many orifices, in such a short space of time.</p> <p>But what were they thinking of? Fry mushrooms, drizzle them with oil so they still look fresh, allow to cool, display in an open container under artificial light, leave for an indeterminate amount of time and cross your fingers. I'm not prone to exaggeration, so please believe me when I say that I honestly think that if a poorly, elderly person had what I had, they'd be in hospital, or worse...</p>
