Thank fk for that. Frankly, I've had enough of this st...and its only Monday... and I've had some really good news over the last few weeks too. BUT, it is a reall pisser when the general gloom around yu outweighs any small glimmers of good nes that comes along.

Life sucks. Then you die. I supposes that was written for a reason!

A Dad saved his little girl from drowning after she was sucked down a manhole in a flooded field. Was on Sky news & the only good bit of News I think has ever happened.

I blame eco-mentalists. The answer to all the above problems is to burn through a tank full of 98RON in a TVR, and they want to ban that too frown

+1

Our PR firm has told us that the local large regional paper isn't accepting good news stories as they don't make decent copy. What hope is there?

Well - things could be worse I suppose.

I just want to go somewhere warmer, simpler and more enjoyable for me & the kids.

But I expect the kids are having a good time (they don't have to deal with our category of st at their age) and when all this global crap blows over in 2042, I'll look back and laugh about it...

I'm trying not to look too often, but for the price of the Missuses diesel Polo, there are some very much more interesting alternatives, keeping my eye on 3.2 Alfa's too.
