Is that a clue to your real name?

 

I just hope he isn't a vaccine. That would be a real bummer.

I wasn't sure where to post this, But i just stumbled upon these photos on practicalclassics forum (http://www.practicalclassics.co.uk/foru ... 21&t=12474), I would have said that a 1.2 Punto towing a big car trailer with a Thames van on would be seen very dimly by the fuzz, Still made me laugh though, I don't think I'd have the balls to do something like that!

Skillful. I saw a Metro GTA tow an Abbey Muskateer once when I went to see my Uncle's caravan in Harlech. It wasn't a pretty sight.

That Thames is from retro rides, the young lad who owns it has built this incredible rotisserie system to flip it over and work on the underside. Looks like it's going to be a really cool project.

Two things occured to me when I saw that photo, 1 - That must be a nightmare to be driving and 2, isn't it unusual now to see a tidy looking Mk1 Punto. That in itself made me grin.

Rolling up to a set of traffic lights on the way to work which went green as I was approaching them. In the nearside lane was some full on chav in an Unimpreza so I floored my crappy old Passat diesel and had him at bay for about 75 yards or so. He absolutely nailed his Subaru and was mightily p1ssed off at me getting the better of him for a short while. Ok, I had the rolling start and he eventually got past me at some speed, but handing him his arse on a plate for a short while was very satisfying :lol:

Ahh yes, this reminds me of my most pleasing evening out with my work's van.

 

53-plate FWD Transit 100 T260 minibus, could fair shift if you gave it some beans. Wank in an Evo thinking he was the mutt's nuts wasn't expecting me to horse him off the line right up to the next set of traffic lights. They turned green just as I approached. He didn't notice the Kia Sedona in his lane which hadn't started moving yet...

Following on from my post last night in the grumpy thread about the waiting time trying to get tickets from the NEC classic car show, Mrs Trigger emailed back this morning to let them know that we hadn't had a call back, this manager Andy Rouse chap replied to say that thanks to her the call time is now under 1 minute and to say thank you he's sending us a pair of free tickets! Result! That's a saving of £50!

I knew I'd heard of the name before!, I wonder if it is him? According to his emails he's the manager of the while show.

I also noticed the Rouse name - he of Carina vs Cleland's Cavalier fame! Maybe it is him?

What's making me grin is that nobody has yet complained about the full frontal female nudity on my latest avatar. BTW it's a genuine Triumph advert.

I know it's bad form to laugh at your own jokes, but I tickled myself today.

 

I'd been getting the odd automatic email from Wokingham Library, saying I had overdue books. I live about 200 miles from Wokingham, so doubted this was actually true. For the latest one, I sent them a nice email back... "Hi, just to let you know you have my email by mistake, I've never been to your library and don't have any books. Kinds regards, Chris".

 

I got an email back from a lady called Sue, apologising, saying they'd sort it. A few hours later, another email saying that they think they've sorted it, but if I receive another email in a couple of days then to let them know as it might be elsewhere in the system too and blamed "gremlins". I thanked them.

 

Today, having received no email, I sent this:

 

Dear Sue

 

I would like to report I've had no more requests to bring books back

that I don't have, so it looks like your gremlins have been kind :)

It's a slight shame as I may never get to visit Wokingham now.

Considering it's the number one place to live in the United Kingdom* I

must be missing something, indeed attractions such as Will Young's

birthplace (which I imagine is now a museum or something?) and nearby

Easthampstead Park are really worth their weight in gold**.

 

I wish you and your library a wonderful Christmas and happy new year.

I know it's a bit early but the only other thing we have to look

forward to is Guy Fawkes Night and that's a bit duff really, can't

really wish someone a "Merry Bonfire Night". But have fun if you do

partake. Remember to wear gloves if you play with sparklers.

 

Kind regards,

 

Chris

** Sorry, I was scraping the bottom of the barrel a bit I know. Will Young??

 

I really hope she gets in to work tomorrow, reads that, and laughs. My work will then be done.
