Tell us something really trivial about your life (Vol 26)
Discussion
I've been reading the classifieds section of the 1978 Observer wrapping paper used on the glassware I bought. I was 1 when this was printed.
London houses for sale, prestige and performance cars for sale etc.
Primrose Hill
A quite magnificent first floor ultra luxurious modern apartment. Within a few minutes walk of Primrose Hill, a short journey from the heart of the West End. Two double bedrooms, luxury bath and separate cloakroom, large living room, beautifully fitted kitchen , flood lit patio. Full gas c/h. Use of landscaped grounds, exquisite decor and fittings. £62,500.
How much would this be worth now?? I'm no London property expert but I'd guess the figure is more in tune with a lottery win.
Endless Silver shadows for sale..literally covering the whole page. Want a 2 year old Silver shadow? That'll be about 20 grand.
Very interesting read.

Grrrrr - the Wife won the 'Toothpaste War' this morning.
She never wins the 'Kitchen Bin War' though.
I take it from the 'grrrr', she also wins the bedroom wars.She never wins the 'Kitchen Bin War' though.
About to move into my new place, but I have no furniture!
Gfs mum is letting me borrow whatever is in their storage, found this beautiful but run down coffee table:
So, as I have too much time on my hands at the moment I popped down to B&Q and picked up some teak rub, sandpaper and a car sponge.
This was halfway through:
And the final result:
so much self satisfaction right now, well worth the heat blister on my thumb...

I work a bog standard, standard bog, 37.5 hours per week, in an open plan office.
My legs under the desk are somewhat exposed, such is my desk's location within the office.
One finds it difficult, frustratingly so, to play with one's crotch sitting where ones does, during the monotony of one's working day.

You should ask for a modesty board. The ladies have them. It seems only fair.My legs under the desk are somewhat exposed, such is my desk's location within the office.

I had no idea tht Land Rover made a car called the Discovery Sport. Now I do know and have been seeing them out and about I have decided whoever signed off on that design should be shot.
It's fking gopping, it's not just plain, it's properly ugly especially with those stupid broken circle DRLs it has.

The Disco Sport takes over the role of Freelander whose name has been quietly dropped due to the negative association of the label. I, erm, quite like it.
I took my neighbour along to this year's FOS and she's never really been overly aware of the Land Rover range - too enamoured with her A4 cab. The JLR stand opened her eyes to all kinds of shiny things and I foresee an Evoque in her future at some point. She was very taken with that.
(A Range Rover Sport SVR might be featuring in mine once the first round of depreciation has made them more accessible)

But is it any more or less 'sporty' than any other of Land Rover's 'Sport' products?It's fking gopping, it's not just plain, it's properly ugly especially with those stupid broken circle DRLs it has.
Discovery Racing, that's what is required.
