I want to know how a light bulb costs that kind of money? Dodgy  The tech can just reach up into the trunk, below the package tray, pop the old bulb out, and put the new one in. What kind of car is it? Also, FWIW, I had my back window tinted in my '05 Corolla, and the guy covered the high-mounted brake light. I asked him why he didn't just go around it so that it was at full brightness, and his answer was "You can still see it, right?". Dodgy  He didn't get any repeat work from me, but I also never got a ticket for it (we don't have government mandated inspections in California- except for Smog).

BoT, I'm making a handrail for the steps leading up to the house. The steps currently meet the building code, but I want the handrail because my mother in law fell and got hurt (not badly, just bruised). My wife and I both think that her mother's idjit Spaniel tripped her, but there's going to be a handrail, anyway.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Just got back from helping my mum set up for the high tea at her church.
I really enjoy my resident status as 'the atheist' amongst her x-tian friends.
I like creeping up on the priest and asking him how's business going. :-)
He never knows quite what to say and I make him uncomfortable and he knows that I know that.
Today I parked in the spot reserved for clergy but he didn't say anything. :-)

Actually, it's more complicated than that. The housing unit for the center light, in my vehicle, cannot be accessed from the trunk. We removed the panel. The only thing we have access to there is the wiring assembly. The entire back portion behind the head rests of the rear seats is going to have to be removed. It's a two hour job. 

And I was mistaken - the part doesn't cost $120. The two hour labor does. I'm going to figure out how to do it myself. YouTube is going to be my best friend, it seems.

My brother is so easy to scare.

I barely even had to try this time. I came down the stairs just as he was coming back inside after having a fag... and I just ran into the kitchen screaming and he near shat himself.

Lol... I'm such a nause.
