Working Off Debt

Here’s an interesting little morality tale.

My wife slept with our mechanic to settle a £500 bill we couldn’t afford to pay

We’ve been struggling to make ends meet ever since my wife lost her job last year.  My salary won’t stretch to cover our food, rent and energy bills.  That’s why we’re £2,000 in debt on our credit cards.

So it was the cherry on the cake when we were told our car failed its MOT last week. The mechanic told us his repairs would cost us nearly £500.  To add insult to injury it was obvious he fancied my wife.

Panicking, I asked if we could pay in instalments.  While looking my wife up and down he cheekily suggested if we didn’t have the money he could think of another way we could pay.  He said we could think about it overnight. Walking away, I asked her what she thought.

Her answer shocked me: “You know I’d do anything for us, babe.”

So the next day my wife went to his house while I waited in the car outside — it was the longest 30 minutes of my life.  I consoled myself with the idea that she’d be hating this as much as me, but when she finally emerged she seemed defiant and said: “Now I know I’m contributing just as much as you.”

It broke my heart and I’ve only got myself to blame.  Now she thinks it’s the answer to all our financial problems.  She even suggested I could manage her diary of clients.  I’m worried she even enjoyed having sex with this mechanic.

Well, that’s one way of “taking one for the team”, innit?

I actually feel sorry for the guy, because it seems to me he’s uncaged a tiger — and it’s small wonder, when all the Brit newspapers are full of tarts making X thousand a month for showing off their bodies and doing the dirty on prostitution sites like OnlyFans;  and in truth doing nothing on SugarBabies different from Mrs. Debtfire above.

It’s always gone on, only now it’s out in public.

I just wonder how these people account for the revenue on their tax return… because if they don’t, it’s called “tax evasion”, and the collection agencies (I mean tax offices hem hem) of both the U.K. and the U.S. respectively take quite a dim view of it.

Quote Of The Day

From The Diplomad (slightly paraphrased):

“Had I wanted to make money, I would have joined the Biden Crime Family.”

No kidding.  Of course, with the current setup, unintentional / assisted suicide is always a risk — or is that only in the Clinton Crime Family?  (I can’t keep up.)

Quote Of The Day

Liberal Women Threatening A Sex Boycott Over Abortion Issue, reads the headline.  From Scott Adams:

“A sex strike by Democrat women would end the need for abortions.  Everyone wins.”

Joy Behar?  Seriously?

Ammo Deal

To all my North Texas Readers who shoot and / or reload .308 Win:

I have 10 boxes of new PMC Bronze 147gr FMJ I want to trade for 5 boxes of premium target ammo — either handloaded by yourself (ergo no commercial reloads) or else new manufacturers’ stuff.

There’s nothing wrong with the PMC — it can and did get ten clangs out of ten shots on the metal poppers and silhouettes, and would work just fine out of your AR-10 or FN-FAL — but for me to do a proper job at Boomershoot, I need premium ammo.  SO:

For the reloaders:  bullet weight is unimportant as long as they’re all the same — preferably 155-168gr, and ditto the primers (same batch).

If you don’t reload, but would like to trade for branded cartridges, then I’d prefer any of the following:

Federal GM308M3 Gold Medal .308 Win 155 gr Sierra MatchKing BTHP
Norma Golden Target .308 Win Match 168 Grain HPBT
Hornady Match .308 Win 168 Gr. HPBT
Other brands, if recommended by yourself, will be considered.

If the batch number matches across all five boxes, so much the better.

Please let me know by email if you’re interested.  Of course, this is for the next ULD rifle…

Bravo, Scuderia

As it should:

Ferrari’s first SUV will have a roaring 12-cylinder engine rather than a greener eco-friendly powerplant, one  of the bosses at the iconic Italian car company has said this week.

The eagerly-anticipated Purosangue sport utility vehicle is set to be unveiled this year, with most expecting it to have either a V8 motor or use the V6 plug-in hybrid powertrain debuted in the recent 296 GTB.

However, Benedetto Vigna, Ferrari chief executive, told Reuters on Wednesday: ‘We’ve tested several options, it was clear that the V12, for the performance and driving experience it could provide, was the right option for the market.’

Take that, Green assholes.
