Put the car in for it's MOT on Friday, and it's failed. Ended up a boot on the steering mechanism had split, and a rear wheel bearing had excess play. Got a quote from them, and assurances that the car would be ready by Sunday morning. I get a call a bit later saying they can't get the part for the bearing till Monday morning.
Now, I had the day off on Friday to take the car down, and took the day off on Monday on the assumption that I could pick the car up that evening. Called at 4pm, and was told that they hadn't had the part in, and that it would be in on Tuesday.
So I take the train in to work on Tuesday. Now, the station is a half hour walk away, and to get to work for 8am, I have to leave the flat at 5:30, catch the 6am train, with a 15 min walk the other end.
So I call up today, and they get told that their supplier can't get the part they quoted, as it isn't made yet. This is a 1997/98 car.
So the walk home, I walk straight past a pub. I'm like "Fuck it, a pint is in order". Along rolls the second pint, and I'm being a sad git, sat there eating dinner by myself.
