Guest Breadvan72 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I am shortly to get into MRs BV's ex njgleeds ex Pillock ex everyone else on the Forum Saab 9-3 droppytoppy, so that Mrs BV can drive me to Didcot Parkway railway station. Yes, it's the Great Western Railway for me. Little did Isambard Kingdom Brunel know when he built the thing that it would be used by people with questionable taste and judgment to go and collect appalling products of what passes for engineering, over a hundred years on. If he had known, I guess that he'd have jacked it all in and gone off to play snooker or invent Symbolist poetry, or something. All that I can say further at this time is that, if the two railway lines soon to be in question were roads, they would be called the M4 and the M5. It may also be worth bearing in mind a version of The Rule of Two. Not just Sith, but also other evil things that want to kill you come in pairs.

Guest Breadvan72 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 You might think that, I couldn't possibly comment. It may possibly, or possibly not, be what I think that you think it is, but it may be, and in fact is, also something else. chodweaver and Magnificent Rustbucket 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used it (the GWR, not the 9-3) to collect an accident-damaged Camry from Gloucester some years ago. chodweaver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Breadvan72 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Hard Brexit it is, as one of the two conveyances in question is symbolic of the shitty old Britain to which we are fast returning, strapped to an out of control express train driven by idiots. The other conveyance is symbolic of why the shitty old Britain was doomed, and also connected with something useful that happened to Britain in the EU, and which will probably stop happening after 2019.

Guest Breadvan72 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Anyway... "Fetch your revolver, Watson. The game's afoot." I missed my train. Mrs BV wanted petrol (she had been in all morning, and the nearest petrol pumps are about 600 metres from our house, but never mind that). The Saab had nearly a quarter of a tank. That was too little to go from near Thame to Didcot and back. Obvs. Attempts to point out that the reserve light was not even on yet resulted in disputation. The conversation ended. At the station, in time for the next but one train, we were dismayed by a pre-op Tranny, not because of transphobia, but because her shoes, handbag, and dress all clashed most unhappily. The word Tranny is, by the way, A CLUE, but only tangentially. Mrs BV regained her good humour and agreed to do a Joan Didion, viz:- Coprolalia, Skizzer, privatewire and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Honda Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 The phone is a Windows phone, not an iPhone. I am holding it correctly. Windoze, schimdoze. Same difference. It's only when you're doing portrait shots. i) Get a camera app that isn't half-arsed and does the job properly or ii) Stop taking portrait shots (you're not holding correctly as far as the half-arse camera app is concerned) iii) bin phone iv) edit it on phone after taking, by rotating and rotating back and re-saving.

Guest Breadvan72 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I arrived home a while ago, after road closures and so forth. Both vehicles, for two there are, are fine. I had to eat supper and have a row with Mrs BV before posting. OK, not a row, but a discussion on the meaning of the E in ETA. A clue. It does not stand for exact. As for phones, screw the absurd notion of apps. I always hold the phone the same way, and most photos are fine. A few random ones go sideways but only when posted here, and never when posted anywhere else eg FB or PH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
