First people to contact us re the MG, after seeing it on the PC forum came down from Staffordshire today, had a look, went for a test drive, left a deposit.

Hmmm - hope the seats are wipe-clean.....

It's one of the 4chan-hacked profiles i thinkhttp://www.lamebook.com/ is good if you like that sort of thing

[RedSparrow]

Cheers Barrett! Should keep me amused this afternoon.

I got myself an interview for a fairly major promotion. And without fapping myself off too much over it, I'm perfect for it.I'm panicking now, but chuffed I even made it this far Better go shopping for a shirt and tie now!

Good luck !

Looks like the shirt and tie was a winnAr, found out I got the job today! As soon as I've finished the project I'm on, I am a Technical Product Trainer

[Volksy]

Congratulations!

[Cavcraft]

Ooh, nice one , congrats.

[Pillock]

Cheers chaps. It's not actually a "massive promotion" (did I really type that? Must have been drunk) but it's a bit more cash, and it's completely different to the rut I've been stuck in for 8 years.Plus it's a more generic role - a Technical Trainer can find work in plenty of places, a "Notebook Repair Person" is a bit more limited....I think I might go and get myself a Shandy Bass to celebrate

Coming into a warm house after a long cold day in town with Mrs Hoker, finding a beer in my fridge, re-discovering Thatcher On Acid, and settling down to stare at this forum for a few minutes/hours/years....

Damn right, had me laughing out loud!!

It is quite amusing how this or the grumpy thread do occasionally, but I reckon with a specific frequency, turn into a dirty old man gathering.

 

[barrett]

Almost always revolving around Allsop and Bunton too, possibly not entirely flattering that a bunch of blokes who love Talbot Tagoras find them attractive!

NEVER!! They'd be thrilled and flattered, surely?

[Rusty Pelican]

Just the piccy of Steptoe makes me grin , pickled onions and bathtub springs to mind as does splitting the house in half including the telly

[seth]

Steptoe? I googled for a picture of Pogweasel.

I'm sure there is a picture in the Autoshite archive or a Tagora wedding car!

Nowt wrong with eyeing up a bit of crumpet every now and then. Unless the missus is looking of course. And on that note I'm actually going on topic....Many moons back when the lovely Mrs 'vette and I were courting I was heavily into motorbikes.Mrs 'vette was in one of her bunny boiling moods one day and I decided to exact some form of subtle revenge for her constant bleeding nagging.And then it came to me in a flash. Literally in a flash...We went for a ride quite a way from home and as soon as I spotted a few birds walking in the opposite direction we were travelling I flashed the headlights on my bike at them to attract attention. 20 or so yards away they all started waving like mad and my missus went absolutely mental.I just dropped the bike a couple of cogs to drown out the nagging/moaning and eventually stopped a mile or so later. She demanded to know who these girls were and I truthfully answered I didn't have a clue. She was seriously unamused and I couldn't stop grinning all the way home.This trick was repeated on a few other occasions, all miles from home and all with the same results.She was far happier when I eventually bought a car instead!

[Pillock]

Yeah, I reckon Krusty Allsopp has featured at least half a dozen times in the Autoshite Mass Perving events (incorporating the Dribble-o-thon). All it'll take is one mention of Vicky Butler-Henderson though, Pog will make some vomiting noises and the whole thing will grind to a halt.

Ahh, as I recall it was more like 'They won't show no nipple if you ride a 250 triple'

[Station]

I've just learnt to block out nagging, it's actually got to a point where my brain can actually turn the nagging into a flat, muffled noise that doesn't hurt my ears. She no longer seems to notice I don't listen anymore.
