And the infinite wisdom of the Internet has this to say
Well, a pack of bears is called a sleuth or sloth, but pandas are kind of special and get their own collective names to choose from: A bamboo of pandas, An embarrassment of pandas, A cupboard of pandas. Bamboo I can understand, but I’m not sure where embarrassment comes from? Cupboard is apparently the official zoological term after a heated debate at a Royal Society symposium in 1866. Before that people were saying things like a spoonful or a dream of pandas. But a cupboard of baby pandas doesn’t sound quite right to me, although it does have a cute mental image. Personally I would call them a pod of pandalings or just a mischief!
I hope that clears thongs up...?

Did my first change of discs and pads, the ones that were on were pretty grotty, the braking action had been taking place at the back of one disc and everything was in a poor way.
Took all afternoon and I thought it was about 3pm, it was 6!
Had a bolt that wouldn't go back home straight, pins that got bent and a ruined spring and lots of swearing.
However they work!
Look at that uneven wear! How many tools for the job! God knows what mess I would make with a bigger job!
The car runs well but could be better, not as smooth and a little down on power compared to others I've had. I changed the plugs and air filter, a small improvement but still get little "hesitations" when it's trying to go but seems strangled, a bit like when you drive through a puddle in the wet.
I'll keep using him next week and see if I can get to the bottom of it, I've got Fizzle to swap over various bits. Plus a whole exhaust system if it's cat related!
Poor Gasket missed out on a wash though as I was knackered after doing the mk5 and Cecil, been bloody hot!
