Don't hold back @Split_Pin , say what you really think

I've just been down a mine with an old friend of dad's. It's a mine that I used to go down with dad all the time when I was younger. It's been sealed up since then, well, they've tried to seal it up at least. I haven't walked that far in months!

As a hat wearing biscuit eater, I feel personally lambasted.

Sounds like I'd fit right in.  Except I don't wear a hat.

I'm close to putting a deposit on this mainly because the colour is so brazen 

Just working out the figures 

after sobering up and realising i dont have 27 and a half grand, ive decided against this.

[AnnoyingPentium]

I see discussions about biscuits and Rovers. I'm interested.

[dozeydustman]

This will be fun to sort later no doubt.

The late bay.

The usual ever decreasing pool of user's over the winter months just became too much, so I deleted my unsolvable apple-selected password from Safari's password manager and logged out. No flounce, no nothing, it had outlived its usefulness.

If I ever get to own a crappy block of flats I'm going to call it The Third Man. Or Some Like It Hot. Or Muppet Treasure Island and nail Gonzo over the door. 

I've seen a Winchester Drive address and always hoped no 40 or no 80 called their house Megabyte.

Similarly I know someone who live at a no 246. The temptation to add 8 motorway is strong.

(Yes I know that's not the convention).

Today I paid someone 150 quid by PayPal and posted my MK4 Mondy instrument cluster to an address in Dorset.

I'm really hoping I get it back. Preferably fixed.

Do it while they're sleeping or on holiday. 🤣

They are not all bad, one of them bought my Tourer, after you lot turned your noses up 

The pen you get is quite good, lasts far ages.

Have we had Autoshite pens?

How long would they last.

The problem is - people keep offering up perfectly serviceable cars for £0-200, so I can't help myself!

Would @cobblers have had any knowledge of these. Hes a truck man, but quite versatile.

Vistaprint do beige pens. Just mocking up a design now.

[AnnoyingPentium]

Scratch that, the beige ones are weird.

2 please.

[AnnoyingPentium]

I present to you all...

Genuine* high-quality* AUTOSHITE pens...

Minimum order is... 250.

[AnnoyingPentium]

Just now, Mally said:

I'll see what they do as a lower order once I clear using the name with the staff.

[AnnoyingPentium]

The other ones I've mocked up are these marvellous* brown and white AutoShite pens with the tagline/slogan as well. These are a sort of wraparound decal printing highly sophistimacated doowhacky thing.

I was leaving to get a flight for work at 4.45am this morning and as I got in the car I heard a ripping noise from the arse department . 
RIP trousers 

Not what you want on the way to a flight at 5 am. At least they didnt rip getting onto the plane .

I did ask a while ago. He doesn't have the test bed to run the cluster.

This actually looks good. And I do not know why but the combination of brown and orange makes me think of Fortschritt ZT320 / 323 tractors.

Thanks! I was trying to find beige pens that weren't their "recyclable print in B&W" range but it seems there's no demand for beige pens on Vista Print. Maybe we could start a new market sector? 🤣

I had something similar happen once as I was stepping into a XJ6 X300 I was looking to purchase.  Full on structural failure of the seams of my jeans

If it comes back all good then you will be able to inDorset.

Been sitting about wondering why I can keep smelling rubber everywhere I go. Sniffed the jumper, smells of rubber, realised I had left it in the boot of the car on the rubber boot mat.
