The benign strain?

[DickyC]

Weeks ago the guvnor sent round an email pointing out that site are treating Easter as normal working days and we should too to support them. Technically rather than emotionally, I mean. We are up to date with work so will probably come in to do very little but drink tea and eat hot cross buns. The guvnor himself has announced he is taking his family away for Easter for a long weekend in a luxury hotel and does not wish to be contacted. Diplomacy is not his strong suit.

Morning all



One more night & I'll be at home for 12 nights (bar a trip to London to see CB with pink hair!)

Will pm the painter man details once he's finished, odd superstition, but won't commend anyone until the latest job is done, only as good as the last gig etc IYKWAIM

Morning all, I'm bursting full of the joys of spring today, bursting!

I'd like to see CB with pink hair too, I think it would complete his look.

17mpg... expensive tax... cheap insurance (go figure )

All I saw was 4.0 V8

What's the VED on that then? North of £280 a year, surely.

£230 according to the DVLA site

That's cheap. But then that's pre the rules changes I think? CO2 and all that? I quoted £280 as that's what it costs to tax the Wife's Golf for a year. Yes, a Mk4 Golf. Ok, it is a 180bhp GTi. But still.

Morning all.

Another example of why the Dutch government don't want us to drive: The road tax here on a 180bhp Golf GTi would be €180 (£150) per quarter, and on the Disco above it would be €352 (£290) per quarter!

My old V6 Golf is €205 per quarter, but this is balanced out by the motorbike being €20, and the Zastava being free.

Morning, Goldmember. We managed -3°c this morning in Adenau.

[Grandpad58]

Yes .I'll have to take the dog out early the next 2 days, as today I have a dental appointment for a filling and tomorrow, you know, stuff.

Interesting car tax stuff

Road Tax on Mrs C's '98 SLK is £205 pa and Step Daughter #1's '06 Cayman is £475.

Older cars are the way forward.

Hopefully yes.


So far this morning I have driven three cars. I've taken the grey one out, moved the yellow one and decided to use the purple one for the morning. This afternoon I will be in a black one. And this evening an Italian red. How lovely.

Saw a Merc GLA class today........

An A class with big wheels,4wd,and a different backside.

Another niche filled by MB that we didn't really want......

They should make a CLA class. Then only sell it to people with a stutter.

I got pretty pissed last night.

[Adenauer]

That's a good start, what's the next line for doogz's speech?

[DickyC]

I offered him a first line. He ignored it.

I need wedding speech help.

Morning all, another lovely day on the west coast.

Doogz, feel free to steal my story in the embarrassing things you've done thread, that should go down well with the new wife

[DickyC]

Oh, well. Onwards and upwards.

[Mr Roper]

Todays urge,

Air rifles.

I fancy one, I'm thinking .22... like the Hatsan Arms AT44-10.

You did? When? What?

my speech isn't going great.

You're staying at the hotel, aren't you? We were based at the hotel where my eldest step daughter was married and I started my Father of the Bride speech thus:

We stayed here last night and I was able to come down early this morning to see how things were going with the room arrangements. The staff seemed surprised to see me. You'd think they'd never seen a man in Buzz Lightyear pajamas before.

Any good?

And, of course, once you've made them laugh, you're away.
