Brown Avensis. *Eyes down*


Jim Bell

Recommended Posts

Update: I was already in the quiet carriage.

 

Flick squawking kids the V's in plain view of disinterested patents and wish Id brought headphones.

 

I usually do. I usually bring a lot of stuff. Jump pack, duct tape, sockets, wd40 etc, but not today. Today its a phone and a phone charger.

 

Today Im buying a Japanese car from an owner whos mechanical ability far exceeds mine. A(nother) bearing might be loud, it might use a bit of oil but Ive got full confidence that I wont need anything but sat nav.

 

And air con. Thank god the cars got air con. Im sweating like a racehorse with a limp.

 

Many thanks to Mr Cade for changing one of the bearings before collection. You dont get service like that on Gumtree.

 

Unless you buy from TheShaddow.

This chap, St Isidore of Seville might come in useful, what with being a sixth century saint responsible for technology and playing bass in a Mumford and Sons tribute band. May his wise counsel and infinite understanding of things invented 1400 years after his death see your WiFi maintained and your vehicle electrical smoke contained within its harnesses on your journey fair traveller

 

Here he is watching a Microsoft update taking place and praying it hurries up before his missus pops by. Otherwise t’is fair chance she will open the emails and discover he hath won himself a Land Rover Freelander from some bloke in Canvey Island. And lo the steed shalt hath urges to overheat and thine prop shaft hath been removed but it’s otherwise perfect. M8

St Christoper:

I just popped past to see if you were getting on ok. I heard some grunting and crying.

 

Me: yeah thanks I feel a bit better.

Colin: Did you know that the 1.8 engine from the Toyota Avensis was used to power SOME Lotus Elises?

 

Me: I did not know that Colin.

 

Colin: its on Wikipedia so it must be true. Ok I hate you, bye.

 

St Christopher: sorry, he gets like this when he hasnt had his wrens.

Last train seems a bit right wing.

Whilst crossing the dangerous waters of the Atlantic* you may wish to have the assistance of Santa Caterina da Siena, she looks after those at sea and is highly rated by nuns but not kittens. Her speciality is Italian chod but reasonable rates are available for others

St Genevieve's competition interlude.

Hi, Im St Genevieve, the patron saint of Paris and Disasters. I like attention but barely anyone knows I exist. Like Moatys Cat. If you can correctly answer my Sunday Bloody Sunday question correctly, you could win ONE POUND and a small but handy shock proof rubberised LED torch (brand new).

 

No cheating.

 

The first person to guess the correct train fare (Newcastle-Stirling) for todays traveller wins the prizes. Fare is a whole pound value.

 

Go!
