The way I'd think on it would be from the baby's point of view: "I don't really care how I was born so long as I get out ok." Can you tell I'm a section birth?!!!

North Ayrshire taxi on the A1 at washington services this morning - must have been a nice fare

I see your SCTSH_CAB and raise a yellow/black Seat Toledo Barcelona taxi on the M6 near junction 7 a few weeks back... :shock:

Managed to put the dryer back together after it sat for the best part of a fortnight waiting for a new heater unit. Only had 8 spare screws left over once it was finished, and it works fine so they can't have been very important.

Just replaced the heating element in our oven and had a screw left too. Dunno where it came from.

 

I'm grinning 'cos I've never had a car individually featured in a mag before even though I don't think it was worthy of the posh photos and I wrote the words myself. Still, it is nice to have some posh photos.

That is seriously impressive, if a bit of a WTF at the same time! When we had OMG ASH CHAOS I was stuck in Germany and decided to use the public transport system know as the railways, however by the time I had got to the main paris station for stranded english peoples (Gare De Nord) and Calais, I started meeting people who had got taxis from Spain, Eastern Europe etc etc.... I met one family that had spent £2000 getting from Russia to Calais.

think I have a spare one of those too..... :oops:

 

IIRC TK Maxx were flogging them about 10 years ago for £20 new.

 

Have you looked for a Vectrex yet? They are very cool (I don't have a spare though!)

Mega Drive and Mega CD are next (probably the mk.1 for extra shite points)

 

'May' have one of those here...can't remember if it's a Mk1 or 2 though.

Well I think you are all heros! These are items of historical importance! :)

 

Really though they are a type of technology that has changed and advanced at great speed and many people would just throw the last console away because the new one is so much better.

 

I'm also well impressed with the guy with the Youtube channel of television testcards and start-ups/close downs. What a super-geek!

 

You might want to get the joists in the loft checked out though, that is A LOT of stuff!! :D

I didn't enjoy helping him move house recently - he had forgotten to mention his collection which virtually filled the house.

Long hard week at work, though quite enjoyable as doing something different for a change. Now had five days off, hopefully kicking off with a trip to the scrappy.

Was there a challenge in the advertising company about how many ways they could perch a woman on/in a maxi?

Huzzah!!! Internet comes to Koh Kong Sugar Plantation. A single pip of wireless strength. 1's and 0's bouncing around the office for the first time. No idea who's signal it is, but it is unprotected, and despite not having a little globe between the two monitors in the internet icon and mousing over it displays "local only", the 1's and 0's bring Autoshite back into my solitary existence. I can even forgive the 3 minutes it takes to show a photograph.

 

Yay.

This is linked to the grumpy thread - we're off to see Tim Minchin next week - Australian comic with a dark sense of humour, who's written a song titled 'Mitsubishi Colt' and plays piano like some sort of god. It's making me grin already.
