Default Aaaaawwwwww!!!!!!!

Sorry, but as a ET (enemy territory) server that I play and has this scream of a person being hit by a whip and scream, with the text being aaawwww I say the same thing in frustration and vetting some steam and

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!

OKi, sorry for this but I need to vent/unburden. So, today was my "niece" baptization (?). It was the daughter of the son of my father companion. Not my stepbrother but as so. So I am a sort of an uncle and no worries with that.
I was currently driving my father's jeep (cherokee XJ sport) for the laçst year, since my car was lend to my stepsister. So, was going to their home and so do to the delay, just push the pedal to the medal and the crossing the river (my father and his companion live in the other side of the river that ends in our home town, 15m ride. The bridge has a climb and then a descent.
During the descent I notice that I had no control of the jeep. No direction/power wheel and was going between 90-100 km. Began to break and then at the end of the bridge regain control; thought that was something do the the speed. Manage to get out of the bridge, but (the end of it is 2 roudabouts. In the second, lost again power (let's call that), and went strait managing to brake and stop near one of the exits and a zebra crossing.
Turn of the jepp and then try to star up again, it was difficult but I manage to do it and I started gain; a few meters after that, gain the same thing, no power, no control. I could turn and stop at a park with difficulty, since I had no steering. Called my father to pick me up and our mechanic. During this time I tried to turn on the car,but it only sobbed.
My father arrived and when I was talking to our mechanic by phone, with great persistent, manage to start the engine. Oki, lets go to the shop, since it is 10 minutes away. Normally went, but some times, when accelerating, the jeep didn't respond. Manage to get at the gate of the mechanic garage, with some hiccups.
So, it cold be just the diesel injectors and or filter and etc are dirty/mucky. OKi, left there the car and my father and I went to church.
Ceremony went well, plus the lunch, etc.
Returning I pick up my car - Toyota corolla hunchback . Went to put some gas and strait home. When going home from the pumps - Pummmm and Puummmmm. What the ..... (words that one does not find on a dictionary, Portuguese and English).
Both tires of right side blow up...
Manage to crawl to home and tomorrow I will address the situation.
Sorry for this but I need to get off the story to at least lose and rest my mind.
One tire, fine. The jeep not needing having the issue, fine, everything happening, I just AARRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!
And my football team lose today 5-2. ARRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!:Ka leun_Mad:

Sorry to hear that mate, yes "one of those days!", I get them often, my bike needed new rotors but a hose burst and had to have them all replaced!! (about 1mth ago) $1,500 later I'm not happy!! A few days ago someone reversed into the front of our 3yo car. So yes I know how you feel, all you can do is sigh and continue on.
The most important thing is the Baptism went well.

Tuesday... stuck behind a car which was itself was stuck behind a slow-moving truck & trailer. I said to Moira that we can get home by either of two routes ahead... if the truck takes a right then I'll carry straight on the main road (that right turn takes you onto a long, long, winding country road) but if he goes straight on I'll go right. He turned right, so I was able to toe it and carry straight on home on the main road, feeling I'd won out. Moments later... BANG! Stone hits windshield... big chip to get fixed

Sometimes the insurance companies will replace windscreens at no cost and you don't lose your no claim bonus, might be worth a check!

During the morning got 2 new tires and all fix. In the repair/garage shop next to my house, they ask me if it was vandalism. Every one thought that someone had cut my tires...
Well, let's see what happens next...

Well, Saturday bad luck didn't stop, it strike again today. Although in a different way.
During the baptism I took one of my cameras and shot a few pictures. Today I develop one roll and what you know, the film must had got loose from the take-up spool and all photos were cramp above one and another.
Lovely...
