Thanks Jon but I actually don't think getting good A-level grades is a particularly good discriminator of "intelligence" - whatever that is. I meet plenty of doctors who I don't think are particularly "smart". In some ways I have the most respect for people who have built a successful business up from nothing and there seem to be quite a few of those on here. I just find it quite interesting how varied the routes are to gaining the means to be an Aston Martin owner and sometimes find myself guessing what route those that don't declare their occupation in their profile have taken.
I agree with that statement.

Sorry Richard (OP), hope you do not mind us going off-topic.


Dear Steven,

Very funny. Hilarious even, with the appropriate rhyming pronunciation.
You are a real wit. - No, I said wit.

Now we are on the sub-topic of jobs, I am convinced that your talents have taken you into the higher reaches of comedy script writing. Perhaps you were that mystery anonymous writer for the Two Ronnies.

All your talk about running an agency providing special services, an introducer to Russian ladies, and being a big cheese in retail, is possibly all just to confuse us. - smile
Richard.....may I also add my apologies,indeed most fulsome apologies,to that of our friend Jon,for going off topic.
TBH I've forgotten what the topic was.....oh yes just remembered.....a most scintillating anecdote of how your wife's mother's best friend,who used to know your Aunt Sally, made the gut wrenching error of mistaking your Aston for a Crossfire.
Jon....to let you into a little secret,one of my activities is to write speeches for aspiring politicians.
Recent ones that spring to mind,of which I am particularly proud,are the vote winning speeches I have written for the Donald.....(code name Top Trumps).
Indeed my stable of Ladyboys has proved to be a lucrative sideline and my recent idea of offering a Ladyboy massage whilst being driven around Soho in AM Rapide has become a real money spinner.
We first offered it in my DB9V but as you know the rear seats don't offer much space for much massaging action and then there was the unfortunate incident when Victoria ( a Ladyboy ) accidentally activated the folding roof and almost decapitated the client.
Fortunately a member of this forum kindly loans me his Rapide (thanks Ken) no charge,just an occasional free rendezvous with Vicky.

Ok I'm intrigued now - how much design is there in a biscuit? Is it just getting a pleasing shape, or is there some science involved in making a biscuit perfect for dunking?

Are we are all going ga-ga?

Biscuit designer, Ladyboy supplier, Tea Boy!

To return to topic, I am going to check under the dust cover of my 4·7, just to make quite sure it is not a Crossfire.

Good night.

My Mother in Law was selling her house and the prospective buyer tuned up in a Rolls Royce Phantom, she asked him if it was a new Chrysler. That must have hurt

FWIW I am a Consultant Vascular & Interventional Radiologist - you're probably none the wiser but essentially I am a person plumber.
I love how understated you make that sound Pete. Rather disappointingly, you're a very nice plumber as well. You should spend more time with Geoff, he does some sort of plumbing.......

If we're talking "Getoff" then I've only met Geoff once at the Burghley 2014 dinner but he didn't reveal what sort of plumbing he does. Either you or him care to enlighten me? Sounds intriguing .......

Getoff indeed. High end clinical refrigerants I think. Could be wrong, I only talk to him when I'm drunk. He thinks I'm an insurance broker or banker......nothing wrong with either, obviously.

He's a ladies hairdresser.
He also makes knobs.....shiny knobs....no doubt to suppliment his income cutting ladies hair.
