Today while painting my fence I noticed my neighbours electric cement mixer makes a noise very similar to the sound effects they used in the film “The Ipcress files” when the baddies we’re trying to brainwash Harry Palmer into forgetting information. 
I pointed this out to my wife that this may be the reason I forgot where I left my Jeep keys but she remained unconvinced.

I think you need a good dose of 'medicine' as well as the disco lights and wacky noises.

FYI, there is a place called Thundergay on the Isle of Arran.

Now you know.

While out on my errands there was an unusually high number of courteous and patient drivers both towards me and other road users.  It was just nice to be able to make good progress and everyone seeming to be working together to keep everything moving.  More of this sort of thing, please.

Indeed, Scotland is a great place for combative gay folk.

Ardgay in Sutherland ( 'Ard gay.. geddit?)

Battledykes near Dundee.

2 night is a row I've dreamed that someone was giving me a free classic car and I then forget where the car is located, last night's was an Astra GTE 16v in red, this phenomenon is caused by someone actually giving me an amazing car that is proving hugely complex and stressful to get collected,  the sooner I get the bastard home the sooner I will get a decent sleep

You need to buy some roffle tickets dude.

Do I shite, the only roffle I have won on here in 5 yrs was one I didn't even enter 

[loserone]

Yes, but then when Saturday comes and goes and you didn't win, you will know the car isn't coming and can get a good night's sleep!

[TheOtherStu]

I mean.... if there was an Astra GTE or a Pug 205 GTi in a roffle, that would be grand.

But generally it's a Corsa E or a 405 GL

A 205 GTI would be easily £100 a ticket.  No ta.  Not sure a 205 GTI is really autoshite these days either.  A 206 GTI..

 

A 405 GL on the other hand, yes please.

Quite honestly, if someone had a 306/307 estate (or whatever they called them) I'd probably buy a ticket or two.

Thundergay and the Battledykes sounds exactly like a Mattel toy and cartoon from the 1980s.

You missed out on my 306 estate roffle last year.  Only 206 GTIs in stock currently.  Maybe a 205 GR in the near future..

Browsing quickly through marketplace and I had to do a double take when I saw this pic, there are better ways of covering a reg
