Just found this whilst looking for local history, and found some info regards my local materity home.  Looks like David Seaman was born there.  FFS dont they know Skruntie was born there as well.

Is there anyone famous from your neck of the woods.

There are a few well known names from this area that I will post later.

You might have heard of him ......

Was quite taken by the TV advert so went looking, have a C4 Picasso now but do not really need 7 seats, once or twice a year to help with Brownies.  Other option may be the Nissan Qashqai. I know it is a while before I change but I can look can't I. ;D ;D ;D

We've had the same conversation whe the kids were little.
Aww! Look at the lambs in the fields, arent they cute! Didn't we have lamb for tea last Sunday? ......  :-/

Harsh I know, but I think they need to know :) meat does not come in a pack from Tesco :) :)

True! But I'd have to be hungry before I killed it to eat it. My Mum & Dad's neighbour's lad was a 'Lean Mean Fighting Machine' and were all given a wabbit for their tea while they were playing war. None of them were hungry enough to kill & eat it, and a lot of rabbits were given their freedom that week end!  :-? :-? :y :y

Waiting in the loading lane for the toplift to load my container, 2nd from front. Toplift arrives with my box, plonks it on & i get out and do my twistlocks, (driver in front still not loaded.) I should've waited but home was beckoning so i backed up a foot or so which gave me room to get out, a couple of foot later, an awful noise i stopped & got out. I'd managed in my infinate wisdom to not see the concrete block right in front of my unit & get it stuck under the truck just forward of the front wheels. Got lifted free, struggled back to the yard, end result a knackered intercooler which for a Volve FH 420bhp globetrotter amounts to the grand total of £585 + vat plus £100 surcharge as the original cannot be exchanged!!!! My gaffer had to rearrange runs as i can't do mine tomorrow now. I've got a different run in my old Scania.
    I must remember the gears are back to front on Volvos & Scanias or my life won't be worth living! ::) :'(

Ooops!  :-?  :y  :y

Mines an S reg 1999 cdx auto with leather seats/trim. Just read the links here to the boys post and am a bit confused :-/(nothing new there then). According to the link, if the electric window switches are either side of gear lever its a pre-facelift and mine are there, not on drivers door, but then I have radio controls on steering wheel which is a minifacelift change apparantly-or is it simply a cdx option? Bye the way, although the Bose is undoubtedly a very good system, I prefer the look of the plastic walnut and black controls on mine too :y

There are 3 versions
Preface lift
The 'Mini facelift is just a subtle variation on the PRE-facelift
Then there is the full Facelift version. Astra style bonnet, different interior with window switches on the armrest rather than on the centre console.
You need to see all 3 next to each other  :y

..... I do know that I do not like the later model plastic look to the inside, particularly the center bit with all the controls in it, prefer the earlier ones :P :P :P
 :y :y

Same here!  ;)
