I quite enjoy it when a girl takes control.
Yep....but I have also put a few 'naughty girls' across my knee when they become too strident and bossy for their own good.
Looks like yesterday I hit the wrong button on a well known online retailer. I thought I was getting a pair of DJI Mini 2 batteries, but a paddling pool turned up. Upon checking my orders, that's what I clicked.
Bugger.
It's your subconscious rejoicing in the fact that summer is coming - sit down, dangle your feet in the nice cool water, enjoy a beer, try not to break anything, the usual routine
On our most recent cruise, we heard that some old chap had been taken seriously ill so when we saw the Ambulance in port from our balcony we thought it was him being taken away. There was also an old lady sat crying in her wheelchair on the dock so we assumed it was her husband being taken away. We then heard that the old lady was nothing to do with the old chap, and that she’d been thrown off the cruise ship for being violent towards her own family and other passengers.If ever I went on a cruise, knowing my luck, I would be couped up on a floating hotel with people like that.
I contemplated a cruise, but the more I think about it, the more I know its not for me. I mean, I hate hotels with a passion. A hotel you can't really escape from all day, every day, is just a prison
The prat in a newish Land Rover Defender 90 who parked right next to me at Strensham Services on the M5 northbound earlier today, despite the fact I had parked in the middle of acres of empty parking spaces just so that I didn't have to sidle down the gap and perform gymnastic contortions to get in my car!
If I were stupid enough to go for a spin with you, it would end up in a fatality. I'd definitely have a heart attack.625bhp, rwd on damp roads. What could possibly go wrong?
It does come with 4 driven wheels.
The second Jagaur XFR I owned had around 600 BHP after Viezu had a play. And rear drive only.
It did shit me up in the wet though.
You should go for spin with Rae in his Evo then! I'm a shadow of my former self....
Your elderly uncle is a man of advanced years, Tig.
A spin in a tuned 500BHP Evo driven by Rae would surely see him into the next world.
A bag of boiled sweets, a cup of Ovaltine, and an early night is far more appropriate.

Horses for courses.
Personally, I think the power companies are scumbags and they get what I owe them and nothing more.
The cash is better off in my account earning a pittance in interest!
I don't mind paying for something I use regardless of price, the one that gets "my goat " is vehicle tax & all this emissions boll ocks, we all know that it's utter shite and the cash isn't going where its supposed to, we must have the worst roads in Europe, all motorists are being fu**ed up the arse in the UK good & proper. We've recently come home from the Carribbean islands I know that there are bad parts but overall the roads are fantastic nearly every vehicle you see is a large SUV & the sun is shining & the crime rates are virtually zero, signs stating that bad behaviour will result in the offender being jailed are clearly visible, try using " mental health issues" boll ocks over there.
.Have you thought about getting something fun, like a little hot hatch or something Rog?
Y'know something that puts a smile on your face when you get in it?
I'd thought along those lines. A hot hatch wouldn't do it for me, it would need to be more like a conventional sports car. But, it just wouldn't get used much.

I drove a lot before retirement, too much, and was part of the reason for retiring. I got fed up with sitting in traffic jams, not getting where I needed to be in decent time, the constant risk of getting "done" for some reason. It's a long time since I've driven for fun.

Actually, the last time was on a skid pad at a disused airfield when the instructor removed the ABS chip from my Merc . . . .
Tomato : a ripened flower ovary that contains seeds. AKA a fruit
No, but I read that you can put fresh manure in the bottom of your planter and as it rots it generates warmth which stimulates growth and you get nice big veggies.
Cucumbers are fruit too
Steaks, pork chops, bacon etc are NOT fruit and are OK to eat
Don't put it straight on though.Make burgers from the pointless creatures.Horse boxes doing 30mph in a NS limit zone, and the slow coach driver behind it too afraid to overtake it, causing long tailbacks.nail the horses hoofs to the deck
If the equestrian type can afford over £100K for a flash horse box, why can’t they afford a few ratchet straps to secure the horse in the back so they can drive a bit faster.
Our local riding centre has taken to riding the horses through the housing estate, presumably because the fields are wet. So every road is now like a dirty farm track, and if your do meet one, due to all the traffic calming, you have no chance to get by.
Plenty of free muck for the tomatoes though!
