Wednesday slays, ate and left no crumbs

My car blew up on the way to work this morning so it looks like I'll be a bus wanker for the forseeable. :(

200yds from work and I thought "where's all that smoke coming from?" ... it was my car. Got it to the work car park and have to wait for my mechanic to come but it might be tomorrow. I opened the bonnet and there was steam, smoke and liquid everywhere, it doesn't look or sound good.

I was so proud of myself last night when the Barclaycard statement had arrived and I was £1.24 in credit, it's taken twenty years to pay it off, fucking typical.
 
A plastic pipe has sheared off inside Lickle Red's engine. Mechanic thinks, since it happened just up the road from work, that the head gasket might be OK. He's going to bring the new part to work tomorrow night and fit it there, then he'll put water in and if it holds he'll drive it back to his garage. I offered to pay for a flatbed to collect it but he said no.

Fingers crossed please everybody, send good thoughts into the universe that he'll be OK and that it's only going to cost a couple of hundred quid.
