Tyres - they may be quicker but...
Last week I had the dreaded job of replacing all 4 tyres on my car costing a whopping £240. A few days later as I walked back to my car from a shopping trip I noticed a dirty big bolt through the back tyre. I was on my way to Windsor to see the wee Belfast Blues and the timing couldn’t have been worse. I rushed round to the nearest tyre place I could find and it turned out to be the one that promises that there’s no-one quicker. They took 10 minutes to investigate it and then told me the tyre was a write off and that it needed replaced. I was gutted but thought that something smelt a little fishy so I said thanks, got them to put the spare on and left for the match.

(Taking a moment out from the story, Linfield won 2-1 coming back from being 1-0 down. My advice to Big Davy Jeffery our manager is to get the boys playing full out every match instead of 1 in every 3.)

So I let the weekend come and go and yesterday I took the tyre down to Jane’s cousin who works in a tyre place. They took one look, laughed and had it fixed in 5 minutes charging me only £6 to do so…. The moral of the story – the competition may claim to be quicker, but then again they think you’re thicker!
