Bit of a rant really about how much of a moron one of my mates is, he really can be a decent bloke, but sometimes you just wanna hit him.
basically last night, myself, Ryan and Barry were meant to be going out to a few pubs clubs and generally having a good night out. I was told to leave my car behind as we would be getting a lift into where we were going and be getting a taxi home.
I arrive at Ryans at the agreed time, to see Barry's car on the drive. Was a bit concerend as he was meant to be meeting us in Truro. Anyway Ryan lets me in and says that we are running late as we are waiting for Nigel to come and fix Barry's car, Barry was going to take us into Truro, fine I think. Basically the fan belt on his car had snaped which meant he could turn the alternater whichmeans the battery would go flat. Anyway we wait ages for Nigel to turn up, wh eventually after some chasing he does. As you can imagine at 9pm at night it's hardly the right time to be repairing cars, but Barry being Barry loves his car (It's a 306 GTI 6 in quite shocking condition, it's had 3 engines already) Nigel can't do it because the fan belt Barry got was wrong, too long or something.
So to get Barry home, Ryan lends him his battery out of his own 306 GTI 6, to which I would bring it back to him after work today. We got Barry's car running and instead of going home, he went out, had lots to drink, drove home and wrote his car off, leaving Ryan with a car he can't use, he's got family FFS and can;t be without his car, so where is the battery ? In the police impound in Barry's car. Basically I work with Barry and he's known to be a bit of a boy racer. Well he is a boy racer.
Anyway my point I guess is that you try and help someone and literally bend over backwards and see what the silly runt went and did ? Never again thats for sure.
What annoys me is I offered to take Barry home in my car, he's even a member of the RAC, which was even more annoying as he could have called them out and had them sort it.
From what I understand his car is a write off, he went down the A30, a tyre burst and he ended up in the central reservation, he spent the night in the police cells and didn'tcome to work today. If he over the limit and I'm sure he was he's almost certainly lost his licsence ??
Anyway not really best pleased with him at the moment, glad he's not hurt or anything but just annoyed that he's caused another mate serious problems.
Anyway rant over.
