That's the retort I used to use when I had a Huawei. Any poor bastard assigned to spy on me is going to have a hard time! Even Google struggles showing me 'relevant' ads, and Facebook! 

I'm not privacy secure or anything, I'm just very boring! 

It's  a good job I don't have one, as today a colleague and I were discussing the relative merits of electrocution or poisoning and whether you could convincingly fake a lightening strike.

This was all theoretical, we are not really planning to do someone in. If so I'd just bore them to death.

Was it a hotel in Devon? If so, that's about the correct timeframe for a reply, don't be in such a rush man... :)

Another lmao about a hotel

Checkedi n just now and nice.lady asked would you like a bus to the terminal

It's 200 meters away lol - one of the reasons I stay here

I probably walked more than that from where the bike.is as I followed a sign to what I thought was a rear entrance (ooer) but ended up doing a lap of the building :D

A friend* once towed a Cortina, a Hyacinth Rover, a Fiesta and a MK2 Granada all chained together across an industrial estate with only the car at the back (Granny) being attended.

It went really well*.

Just done a WOF check on my former backpacker wagon, it lives on for another year! Must be touching 400k km by now!

I love that sketch. I’m desperate to know where a very similar one  (with monkeys) was filmed. Screenshot below. I have a feeling it’s in Kent but don’t know.

'But who will look after my monkeys now?'

They did film a lot of stuff in Kent (they both live here), but the bit I posted looks like Beechy Head.

We went to have a look at a couple of cars for our soon to be 17 year old. This was the wheel trims  on a 13plate VW UP.

 

Also not that you can make it out but this was a cock and balls in the dirt on the bonnet of a corsa

Anyone fancy being on the telly box? I received this message in response to an Omega I am breaking...they must be fucking desperate :) 

 

Hello there, I'm wondering if you could help me? I'm actually a TV Producer casting for a new TV show - think Location Location Location but with cars. We take car buyers, their budget and desires into consideration then hopefully find them the car of their dreams within their budget - on our new show. We're half way through the series and are wondering if you know anyone who'd be up for being on the show and letting us help them find a new car - on our new show for Discovery quest. Do you happen to know anyone? I appreciate this is random! Thanks, Shanie

Autoshite TV, I've got a budget of £300, I want leather, V8, and be able to trace the history back through the last 10 owners... (or 3 months, whichever is longer)

My wife and I watched a film called Somersby with Jody Foster and Richard gere, I just got reminded about it.

For those that haven't seen it the basic story is

John is presumed dead after he fails to return from the Civil War. His wife, Laurel, is set to marry her neighbour, Orin Mecham, but her husband mysteriously returns after six years, only she isn't sure if it's her husband or not as she hasn't seen him for 6 years

After we'd watched it i said , well that was utter rubbish , how would she not know whether it was her husband or not

My wife disagreed thinking it could be possible so I asked if she could explain

Well, if you went off to war for 6 years and Richard Gere came back I wouldn't say anything either

I have mental scars from that film, I took a stunning girl to see it and the fucker is a bout 3 hrs long and total tosh, film lasted longer than the relationship
