The only other one I can ever remember is 0898 FIFTY FIFTY FIFTY but I think that's for Gay Exchange. Lots of mad zooming in and out on bufty looking tanned blokes.

 

FIFTY FIFTY FIFTY

[fordperv]

One of the girls who worked at my pizza shop went on to appear on BabeStation....

Absolutely nothing special to look at untill half a ton of makeup,push up bra and not much else were slapped on her

[Slartibartfast]

Come on call CHATBACK!

OH EIGHT NINE ONE

FIFTY FIFTY FIFTY

OH EIGHT NINE ONE

FIFTY FIFTY FIFTY

 

We have our own version of Rickrolling in our house, which is where I connect at random intervals to the living room TV and play the chatback advert.

[loserone]

Can't say I remember that one, but I can recall Oh Eight One, Eight One One, Eight One Eight One.

 

I didn't even watch TV at weekends..

Drove the Carina E into work today.  On the way I got a thumbs up from a chap driving in the opposite direction in a doom blue Carina E estate.  First time that's ever happened to me in a modern*.

Fucking LOL at all the hairy yellow string-style bodges

Speaking of memes, I saw a pair of white Mokka twins today.

** sounds a bit like white moccasins

Also spoting loads of top shite old stock lights stored in the garage at work.

 

Seeing 305, tipo, solara etc etc written in big marker pen on a faded dusty box always makes me grin!

any avenger or sunbeam or samba lights in among them?

Fwar. Have you got pics of it up anywhere? Ive got the right horn for Toyotas atm.

I'll never forget this radio jingle:

 

' don't sign on the dotted line until you talk to Tempo!'

 

They went bust right after we bought a TV from them without a remote.

You and I are probably the only people to say that! I'm a massive fan of the current lineup. I get properly excited when I see a plug in Prius.

I recall 0898 27 27 27, sung to an inane tune. There's a theme developing...

Good old Google translate...

Today’s grin: someone sold me a 700 quid coffee machine for 60 quid. So it’s used, but still. Bye bye Nespresso machine!

Looking at audi s4's on ebay. What looks like an auction is actually a rant at somebody selling one.

Now it's summer/not going to freeze I can go back to using G101 and water as screenwash! It actually removes the bug splatter unlike the shit screenwash we buy... Gave the blades a good wipe down as well, no more streaky lines! Hoping the G101 will clean my tank out too, it went rancid again, emptied it on the way home, slosh of just water to flush it and now G101. It'll get half a bottle of bleach in it if it does it again/dismantled and cleaned properly

Here it is.  The camera didn't capture its colour very well - it's more turquoise than that.

There's an advert just been on telly, you can now pay for BP fuel using an app on your phone to save that 60ft walk to the till and back.

 

Have they now decided that using your phone on a petrol station forecourt will NOT result in an explosion, the size of which would knock the earth off its axis?

 

I once got yelled at by someone washing the petrol pumps on a little village filling station. I was walking past on the pavement, on the phone. "Gerrover there! Cross over! PETROL!" the mad bint yelled.

[Kiltox]

Shell have done it for ages. Think you’re meant to stay in your car when on the phone
