Confession time - i made a right prick of myself at the weekend. I went to fill up with petrol and all the pumps on my filler cap side were occupied but the filling station has hoses that are long enough to reach both sides of the car so i thought if i get close to the pump i can pull the hose over to the far side of my car. As i swung in to get close i hit the metal edge of the curb that the pump is mounted on and burst my tyre with a large bang and a sudden rush of escaping air and fucked my wheel trim. My stepsons girlfriend was working in the station at the time and she told me i was the second to do it that day and 2 others had mounted the curb but got away with it. Felt such a twat but never mind, i'm sure it gave all the other users something to talk about.
