This ice bucket challenge is starting to get a little bit annoying now.
That video is hilarious though lol

I know, it gets on my **** as well, but when I saw word fail in the title I thought this must be good. I thought not tipping the bucket properly over was what they described as fail but few seconds later my patience was Rewarded

Yeah, it's getting a bit tiresome now, just get on with it and donate. There are some spectacular fails out there, some look like injuries were inevitable consequences.

You seen the one with the teeny tot from Birmingham?

Link please norretal.

I've been nominated twice at the moment and I've just giving money.
I think that will serve them better than a video of me being wet and £6.

Coming back to my expired MOT case.
Finally got a set of 275s fitted today and straight after that I went to MOT station.
PASSED with no problems at all so finally I've got my girl back and I enjoyed every inch of tarmac today. So good to be back on the road.

I've had a very interesting experience today.
I went for my MOT to SMaRT Garage Services and what a experience.

Basically SMaRT Garage Services is a social enterprise run by First Step Trust. As well as providing a competitive, high quality service to our customers, we provide training and employment opportunities for disadvantaged members of our community to support them back into work.
Mainly they employ mentally disadvantaged people, some more serious some less.
Every single employee including MOT testers, would not be able to get a job in most of the places. But this organisation provides them with 'back on track' opportunity, instead of being rejected by the community and stuck at home, they go to work everyday like every normal person and they do a great job.
Guy in the reception wasn't the most chatty person as he clearly went through some serious problems, but overall a very nice guy and we did had a good little laugh. The other fella, omg, so funny and jokes did not stopped.

Premises very very clean, inc. reception, waiting area, toilets and the actual garage.

MOT testers like I've never seen before. Very clean (well, most of them are), very very polite, very careful with the car on each step, I mean very careful and respectful, protective sheets on the carpet and seat, just really really different. Well trained as well and knowledgeable.

Overall, a great experience and MOT was only £25

Richard, it is really nice to see disadvantaged people doing a cracking job, difficult to describe this feeling as I am a big supporter of this trusts.
I was already in the past employing mentally and physically disadvantaged people to do some work for me. It gives me I don't know, huge satisfaction I guess. A surprisingly nice day what supposed to be a very stressful one.

275s, yeah mate, more info here http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthrea...0170#post80170
