Ga-raj, you see

[kingandy]

Took Raj to the garage, where several mechanics went "Ooh, exhaust?" on the basis of the noises he was making. Apparently they can't get a part until 3pm, and they want to allow a couple of hours to replace it, so I have to go back tomorrow (because they can't have Raj today, I need him for work).

Two mechanics drove him, one onto the ramp and one off. The first one said "Steering's a bit loose, isn't it?" And the second one said "Hey, nice light steering." Curiouser and curiouser. Maybe it's just a matter of taste.

In other news: ripley_the_cat is growing in popularity, and has potential to become a full-blown internet phenomenon. Comments on his posts have increased tenfold since being linked from SomethingAwful (though some of those people are just saying "U PPL R TRARDS THS SI NOTT A CAT IT SI A PERSNO").

Also: Film about Jesus not controversial enough. Mel Gibson has resorted to showing his movie to priests in private screenings in an effort to spark some hatred. Or something.

I like Jewish groups fear The Passion of the Christ will lead to anti-Semitism because of its suggestion that Jews were responsible for the crucifixion.

Weren't the jews responsible for the crucifixion? I'm going to have to apologise to Raffles the Gentleman Thug - I've been accusing him and his people of Messiacide since I've known him.

beware...

No matter how nice/friendly/cheap the exhaust/tyre place is, they will always ask/tell you that your tracking/wheel balance needs doing. Unless there's a noticable problem (steering wheel juddering, car pulling to one side) don't bother as they just use it as a way to get extra cash out of people.
