Is it me (I bet it is) - The lotto web page doesn't say what time the draw is. It says you can watch online, buf not where/how. What am I missing?

Have a look at your TV listings mag for this week.

 

What, you don't do paper magazines any more?  How very modern!

It seems he bought a 75 for himself and he wanted this for his son.

 

I wish you was my dad. Congratulations!

Oh well, I was close. 

 

Well done mate, have a pie for me )

Well that was a surprise. Yes I have a 75 and my son wants to get rid of his Peugeot 405 and wants an estate , a Volvo v70 T5 apparently.But due to austerity measures, we are all in this together. He is going to have to make do with this fine conveyance. I shall PM you good sir and arrange collection . Has a nod to purplebargeken. Many years ago , in the days of crystals and lowies in St Helens. I drove one of Yellow cabs finest vw jettas and my radio call sign was Paul 24. It was always meant to be.

Bastard, Everton got minced and I didn't win this. Well done Taxi Paul. I don't think it'll be a long collection either unless I'm mistaken

 St Helens.

 

I may once have been to St Helens. Something about Glass I think. IF I remember correctly, I think my overriding impression was that it probably was not quite as shit as Widnes, Prescott, Wigan, Standish, and Orrell and 100 times nicer than Runcorn or Skem, but not nearly as nice as Ormskirk which is okay. But at least none of them is Manchester. or Salford.

 

All from a day trip to a glass museum.

Well thanks for congratulations and offers to purchase this fine piece of automotive engineering excellence. I shall collect it soon and update things a bit. St Helens

isn't that bad really, compared to some places I've been , elephant and castle springs to mind or Towyn for that matter. One last thing New pod.Born and bred in Prescot you do realise that spelling it with two T's is tantamount to treason or something similar and would start a fierce debate in the local wetherspoons , in between trips to the betting office mind!

To be fair the car came from Rhyl, St Helens is a big step up!!

 

Congrats on the win taxi Paul!

Cheeky! My son is so joyfull * at the prospect of this that he is now frantically bidding on Volvo v70 T5's has we speak. My wife took the news really well and asked " I suppose that's going on the drive is it?" . We had to go to a meeting today in school and she spent most of it telling the teacher about my mid life crisis and buying shite cars. But the teacher won with. " you think you have problems ? My husband has just bought another drum kit for the dining room" I did ask if it was a Rover drum kit . But the irony was lost.

Buying shit cars is the opposite of a midlife crisis.

Women will happily spend £300 on a pair of shoes that don't function practically as a item of footwear to walk around wearing, but tut when you buy a car for £5.

 

Shakes head at women.

Well the rover has been collected. Sorry for lack of photos and such like. It was a pleasure to meet mr cavcraft and do business. My son drive back and has taken it home to clean and see what he can fix , or break. The last I seen of him was driving past me on Runcorn bridge with a big smile on his face. Who needs Volvo T5's when you can have a Rover.
