All of them? Wow, well done man!

When I first realised I'd got tickets to see a female Tommy Cooper/Monkees tribute act, I was sceptical.

 

 

But then I saw her fez.

Bastard, I had a mouth full of water when I read that

The Scottish parliament looks so much more fun than hours, doesn't it?

I've used this garage for 20 years or so. I rang yesterday morning for a service and mot on our 2006 V70. They said just to bring it down. My partner dropped it

about 12. they rang at 3 asking if I was picking it up! full service, mot, new rear discs and pads and they were busy welding the exhaust as the receptionist was talking to me. There's a few garages could take a lesson from that. If I have issues with my van they drop everything to get it sorted. It's like a formula one pit crew watching them.

It's worth having a look through their page at some of the stuff they do. There's a defender with the 'dreaded disease'.

Now you're a believer ?

I thought it was in Wales. Must get my f***ing hearing looked at.

From the peeking in Metro and the condition of that Maestro - that is a VERY LONG time ago!

[bub2006]

Oh dear

[wuvvum]

Not sure if grin or grump, but on balance probably fits here better.  Cycling in to work this morning on my decrepit 1976 3-speed Raleigh Wayfarer, and some bloke in a Porsche Cayenne sat in traffic in the other direction bips his horn, winds his window down and offers to buy me a better bike.

[Lacquer Peel]

Oh dear

It looks alright bub, low mileage, big chunk of MOT, the 1.4 TU is a sweet engine.

[bub2006]

It's a bit scruffy bodywork but structurally sound and solid underneath. 56k on clock. Ten months ticket with leccy windows and roof,Pas and Central locking

[wuvvum]

Oh dear

 

Considering the alternative was a petrol Mk4 Golf, I don't think you've done too badly there tbh.

Isn't that the urban dictionary definition of cottaging?

Golf was shagged even by my standards

Blimey, dark blue? I remenber those. Or rather, perched behind a parent piloting one...

[Exiled_Tat_Gatherer]

Golf was shagged like I'd had it previously in my unlucky catastrophic possession …..

EFA Bub dude……

 

It does actually look better than I expected. It's a good distance away in bad light of course …

[bub2006]

Zx is whole better motor

[dozeydustman]

Yup gotta concur. A ZX is a sweet little runabout to knock around in.

[bub2006]

It was cheap with a decent ticket. That's all I look for! Bonus is it is nice. Bought it back from leicester

[Supernaut]

I saw something astonishing earlier when I left work.

 

A Goona II being used as a taxi. The offshore worker getting picked up from the helicopter terminal in that must have felt like a winner*.

[GrumpiusMaximus]

Saw this at the garden centre this afternoon.  I know nothing about tractors but I think this is proper tractorshite.

 

 

EDIT:  Found this.

 

[Supernaut]

D'aaw.

 

My dad has a Siromar. It's a wee bit bigger than that (it's about the size of an old grey Ferguson) and makes a whopping 28hp.

However, it has 4WD and diff locks, so it may not go fast, but it goes just about anywhere.

You’ve pulled! Did you accept the offer?

He's right you know, peppy is the word for these things. ZX + 1.4 TU = many funs.

Old bloke gets done for shagging prossie at fake spa:

Orchids of Asia manager Lei Wang was also arrested on Tuesday and made her first court appearance on Thursday.

 

That can't be their real name?

I was just about to post a link to Winstons 'health club' in Leeds as a few years ago it's website was pretending to be an actual leisure centre with sports etc but they seem to be taking a more direct approach now:

Chief Constable/Police+Crime Commissar is a good customer perhaps?
