Get both, life's too short old boy.

One of the best things I ever saw written on a bomb was on a JP233 Runway Denial thing. Slung underneath a XV Tornado it was.

"Want your driveway done, Dear?"

This is my second day back at work after nearly 2 weeks off - I am ready for my bank holiday break already...

There's a slight chance I'll go postal later rantingfuriouswobble

And so to summarise, James TW is going to the post box, sort of, ApO has some lorrys to empty before he can retire to the B&L for a few pints of whatever Franks "special" is today and fatboy is highly contagious and must not be approached in anyway shape or form!!! yes
My day continues to be quite acceptable with signs it may even develop into "ok"!!!

Moved onto a new house, which is huge.
Baby is doing well (7 months now. It’s a girl)
Little things keep breaking on the car (97 Honda that would cost $4500 to replace!).
Might be recovering our land that was “stolen” by some arsehat in government (its Cambodia. These things happen). It could be worth $3 million...but we have to split it three ways...or we could end up with nothing.

Am I mad wanting a Ssangyong Kyron? They are “cheap” and have Mercedes Diesel engines (2.2 out of the early W211) selectable 4x4 with hi/lo and Mercedes gearboxes.
Cambodians think they are a poor mans car, as my wife does.
2007 Kyron $12k. 2007 Lexus RX330/400h (the car of Kings!) $35 to $40k!

That's twice you've mentioned that. Once is a letter of concern from TT for an early recovery, twice is bordering on condolences to you loved ones.

We just hope you pull through....

Eh yup chaps! I left the lorry lights on when I got to work this morn! Tyroleaned for 4 hours and then couldn't make my getaway as the battery was dead.

Found my jump leads eventually and borrowed the commune van for a start up. All went well.

Got into my hamlet and little Christian is waving and making a bottoms up sign,so a pint of Pineau later I'm home and happy.

Warming up here today and I think it's a big hot one tomorrow. I should be done by 10.30 am in the morning and will be happy to be done with that there tyrolean.

Things were going so well.................
Still it's not a major catastrophe, so I guess one should be grateful, we have this one job which tries our patience every single time we run it, which thankfully is only about every 6 to 8 weeks!!!!

Glad to hear the baby's doing well Bongtom, as for the Ssssssssaaannnngggg Yong, I know nothing about them!!!!!

I can't believe a man of your mature years calibre forgot to turn the lights off!!!!

My first car was a '77 Mini 1000 but the first car I ever drove was a 3.0 Granada which had been taken in as part ex at the same garage. It was the same colour as the Sweeney 3.0 Consul GT 'NHK 295M', and I almost reversed it into a parked Transit van when my foot slipped off the clutch!
My old thing was a bright green 3.0 Ghia automatic. Had a green interior too, special order from Ford apparently. Looked like a flying billiard table it did.

It went like a Priest out of a brothel though. When I got round to having a proper look at it, it had a Holley carb and tubular headers on it.

Lovely old thing. Swapped it for a Fern Grey 4.2 XJC, lovely thing that was too.

Glad I got rid of it when I did though. It'd be worth bugger all now grumpy
A few of my mates have got Mk1 Grannies, they're still large cars for their time and look the business all these years later. My aunt had a green one in 1975 / 76 with a beige vinyl roof, possibly a 3.0 litre which she replaced with a Coupe version in the same colour combo.

Machine and process, we have to juggle two dimensions to achieve a third, we could involve an ME and add another offset to one of the tools but as I say, it only turns up every few weeks!!!

I'm trying to buy a ticket for a thing.
I have a discount code but it doesn't show the reduced price.
Or maybe I should go further into the checkout before it applies the discount .
I don't know.

Go further into the checkout old boy. Don't worry, we'll back you up.

There's a fire truck and an ambulance here if it goes to ratst. I've always got the Remy if that helps.

We'll tie a bit of old rope round your waist and drag you back out if you got in too far.

In Cinamas near you from Friday : ''Peri Goes Too Far - This Time It's Personal'', starring Bernard Cribbins, Donald Sinden and some bird who used to be in Eastenders. It'll be epic I tells yer…!
