Phantom 2,531 Posted February 12, 2016 My first car was a car. It got me where I wanted to go. That is all I require of a car. I drive anything up 2,000 miles a month in mine. So it needs to be comfortable for me. If it was just for short trips, then I wouldn't care as much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So it needs to be comfortable for me. If it was just for short trips, then I wouldn't care as much. One other thing - ideally it should pass its MOT every year at minimal expense. This rarely happens, sadly. However, that's now been dealt with for another year, thankfully. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,218 Posted February 12, 2016 Generally, work makes me fucking miserable, however, today I was told that I would be leaving the engineering group im on to do something else that is MUCH better. Apparently, my senior manager reckoned that I wasn't 'suited' to the group I was on. This is probably because I constantly disagreed with everything he said and told him that the company had too many David Brents and not enough Alan Sugars or summat. He didn't like that. See? Say what you think and you end up getting your dream move. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,218 Posted February 12, 2016 1979 Mini Clubman. 1098cc. Purchased in the spring of 1983 for £1500. Would latter get wheel spacers, alloy wheels and Dunlop 7 inch wide tyres. Ran her till mid 1990, when "Pam's" engine finally lapsed onto three cylinders. I learned to drive in a Mini and owned a 1961 model back in the day. The greatest car ever made IMHO, however, not to brilliant when you are 6ft 1 and have to fold yourself to get in and unfold when you get out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last time I did something like that with my boss, I got the lovely task of walking John Major and Michael Hesseltine around Canary Wharf when all the construction work was complete. Actually that was my punishment, but when they started doing concerts in the courtyard, I was given the job of working backstage. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Where I used to work one of the managers turned up everyday in a little white mini and watching him get out was an amazing site he was tall but broad as well. The car almost spat him out. The theory was that he continued to drive said car to maintain his heightened levels of bile and aggression. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some cracking first round matches to whet the appetite. .... You mean the "wit" of the old fogies like Taylor etc. droning on in the commentary boxes? Jesus christ. Maybe you were talking about the wit of Barry Hearn making ALL the qualifiers play three full matches in mere days just before the championship so they'll be too drained to mount a serious challenge in the actual championship? yeah great. Brilliant. Everything about this fucking event these days is massive, brain-frazzling, exasperating, smashing-fist-against-head, purest fail. Hearn needs to be spike-piledrived onto the fucking little statue on the front of his Rolls Royce, the unbearable twat. Poomjaeng got fucking beat in the final qualifying round too... so, that's a huge kick in the teeth for anyone who still has a sane boredom threshold. The only good news was Ebdon getting through so I "may" watch some matches. May I ask which 1st round match you thought was most "mouth watering"? John HIggins - Ryan Day? ooh, get the beers in! The real interest is whether we will finally have one of the creaky old commentators actually croak on air. Some would say Thorne is the "favourite" with all his strokes but I would put Virgo and Taylor as possible (non-)"surprise packages". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,435 Posted April 14, 2016 Bret Hart/Shawn Michaels = Steve Davis/Jimmy White. Discuss. Have Davis and White had an overlong match which experts claim is the greatest thing ever, but was actually dull as dishwater to get through too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have Davis and White had an overlong match which experts claim is the greatest thing ever, but was actually dull as dishwater to get through too? No. I think that might be Davis and Taylor you're thinking of (although due to sheer tension in the final few frames, it is one of the best moments of snooker history.) Davis and White did play each other in a World Final in 1984 and it was 18-16 to Davis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,218 Posted April 23, 2016 I think I understand the need for women to go shopping. I have just bought another car. Its not like I NEED another car as I already have two but the combination of a free space on the drive and the sheer fucking orgasmic buzz of searching for possibles, imagining what it will feel like wrapped around my old gnarled body and fucking off all notion of practicality sends me into a kind of euphoria that was once gained through illegal substances, or summat. If there is a cure they can shove it up their arse thanks. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
