Lied about the carb cleaner, seems I have brake and clutch cleaner.
I need to pass pretty close to Camberley Autofactors on the way over in the morning, is it worth seeing if they've got some carb cleaner?
Catsbum: Did you get the filter as well?
Started a sweepstake at work on who'd be the next person to leave, the bloke who got shafted last week (got made project manager of a big budget program that's rapidly going bad when the previous PM quit) picked himself for next month. It's got him wondering
