...and nobody's bought you a new one yet? You need someone nice in your life who'll buy you a nice new shiny whistle :)

There's always room for some Diet Coke somewhere.

If you've got a half decent wheel brace, stand on the lever and bounce your weight a little to loosen the nuts.

That reminds me, in the mines they have tools that are a ring spanner on one end, and a hunk of steel on the other that you hit with a sledge hammer to loosen the nuts.

That's what I ended up doing. It took a bit of force though because I'm not all that heavy.

My neighbour isn't disturbing my peace as much as he's perplexing my brain :?. He's just all over the shop. Last night he put his car stereo on, locked the car up and went to bed lol. It was still on when I left this morning.

Did I post about the incident where he parked in the driveway making me 30 minutes late for work? He "reasoned" that he wasn't in the way because I could get out still according to his stellar trig/maths skills (I would have needed to do a physically impossible extreme right angle turn to get out).

Drugs. Gotta be.

Then you wouldn't have to problem with flat tyres. :roll:

It's those point ends on their zimmer frames that do the most damage :?

In honesty I turned into my driveway too soon (distracted by my blinker which doesn't work properly) and hit a sharp edge on the gutter. I'm lucky it happened right on my doorstep because I was then able to change the tyre in my own garage and be a total girl about it without embarrassment from passers by.

Well I hopped you learned your lesson. :shameonyou:

Well next time best to try and run over poor little ophans, like who cares about them. :shrug:
I really hate those oliver twist and little annie types. :x

I think if I was a passer by I would get out of my car, come over to you and watch intently while eating a packet of potato chips. The tyre changing sounds entertaining. :chin:

I was saturated head to toe in sweat when I finished. Doesn't help that my garage is about 10 degrees warmer than the rest of the house (radiant heat off the garage door and the car engine). It was my first tyre change so I deserve some slack. I'll do it in a breeze next time 8)

your neighbour obviously hasn't taken his meds for awhile or maybe too many meds. sounds like he is going out of their way to be irritating. good job on changing the tire! every one finds it a challenge first time and it seems it is either always raining or in a pain in the bum location when they go flat.

Probably. The kids aren't there either which is a weird sign, nor have I heard boo from his partner.

Tonight he is overnight parked in front of the bus stop which is further down the road. It's like he mistook the driveway down the road for ours and parked just to the side of it on the street. You'd think he'd get clued in by the 100m walk to the house :P
