Here are the facts:

1. The car is used once or twice a week, mostly for short trips.

2. Nearly every time we use it, the battery is too dead to turn the
engine over and it needs to be charged. In fact it's so dead that
even
trying will produce nothing but a click and drop the voltage across
the
electrical system so low that it resets the clock.

3. After 20 minutes or so of charging, it'll start without difficulty
(it's only a 1.2l engine).

8. The battery is fairly new.

And ****ed. Buy a new battery.



You might be right, but is that the only way you're able to express
yourself?

Oh, dear, has the nasty man used a word you don't approve of? Well,
tough
titty.


You know, there was a time in this country - not a million years ago -
when certain things were not said, and certain words were not used, in
general social situations. That has changed, and now this sort of gutter
language pervades almost all aspects of life. It hasn't improved
anything, quite the reverse, and all it demonstrates is the inability of
certain types to respect the language and other people.



History says otherwise


"What the **** was that?" Mayor of Hiroshima
"Where did all these ****ing Indians come from?" General Custer
"Where the **** is all this water coming from?" Captain of the Titanic
"Thats not a real ****ing gun." John Lennon
"Who's gonna ****ing find out?" Richard Nixon
"Heads are going to ****ing roll." Anne Boleyn
"Let the ****ing woman drive." Commander of Space Shuttle "Challenger"
"What ****ing map?" Mark Thatcher
"Any ****ing idiot could understand that." Albert Einstein
"How the **** did you work that out?" Pythagoras
"You want what on the ****ing ceiling?" Michaelangelo
"**** a duck." Walt Disney
"Why?- Because its ****ing there!" Edmund Hilary
"I don't suppose its gonna ****ing rain?" Joan of Arc
"Scattered ****ing showers my ass." Noah
"I need this parade like I need a ****ing hole in my head." John F. Kennedy


You missed one.
Shut that ****ing door. Captain, Herald of Free Enterprise.
