Ex-partners of jeremy beadle have mixed things to say about the size of his manhood. On one hand, it was nothing special, but on the other hand it was massive.

Left one of those face coverings hanging on the indicator stalk with the 'new car scent' air fresheners. Every time I breathe it's that bloody air freshener through the mask. Not too bad, actually.

My garage just loans me an over twenty year old Saab 9-5 estate, almost identical to what I have taken to them to service/repair. Its great because I know where all the knobs and switches are.

Is that cafe still there in the corner , they did a very nice breakfast , I used to do a drop and wait job in Hartlepool 

First time I sat for 3 hours in their yard , after one of the lads told me about the cafe & marina I had many a nice breakfast and a view to look at.

Like many people I enjoy a good Rufford Ford video, but some are better than others - this Toyota Aygo nonchalantly sailing across the river is absolutely fantastic.

It was pretty low there ( below 2ft). It was above the 3 ft mark a few days ago.

Love seeing big expensive German SUVs getting stuck. Also van drivers en masse seem pretty clueless .

Insurers for the BX have sent a renewal invitation- £784!! That's a reduction of roughly 66% compared to last year!

Renewal for the Acclaim just came through yesterday, was actually cheaper than last year. Unprecedented!

I miss many things about being younger, 4 figure insurance bills aren't one of them...

Van drivers think they'll be ok because they're high up.They don't realise that the air intake is often quite low though.

Ask me how I know 😁

Who are you insured with? Presumably a classic policy of some form?

Too young for a classic policy. Go Girl were the cheapest last year at an eye watering £2100.

One of my very best mates from uni has the surname Hiscock. He’s a very placid chap, even after years of ribbing and japery at school because of the name, to the point that he jokes that he has a tenner in his wallet for anyone who gives him a surname-based joke that he hasn’t heard before.
