Morning all
I get to start half an hour late today, which is nice. Perhaps the highlight of my day, in fact.

What's going to be the highlight of your day?


(, Mon 20 Oct 2008, 8:04, 370 replies, latest was 16 years ago)
The highlight of my day will be....
.....going home to relax, enjoy the evening and watch Newcastle United play (and probably lose) against Man. City.

I think my highlight
will be getting home at the end of the working day. I've got quite a lot to do today. Not necessarily time consuming, but I have a lot of individual little tasks to remember.

I have had one high point already though. The rain was battering down as I was driving in to work, but when I got to the car park it stopped, allowing me to walk to my office without being drenched.

Thanks, weather!

Morning!
*waves at PoD and Stig* EDIT: and k2k6!

I'm feeling remarkably bright and chirpy this morning. Last night was the first night in a while that I didn't have any alcohol. I wonder if the two things are connected?

Highlight of my day? I've got a Bentley Arnage T to play with later, so I can lord it around the place shouting 'Get orrf moi laaaand' at people :)

Don't see why it should be any different from the usual twaddle, Stig!

A Bentley, eh, Rubberduck? Nice.

Morning all,
I'm pretty sure this week is going to be very very dull.

Entertain me.
(, Mon 20 Oct 2008, 9:12, Reply)
Since you asked...
Bear in mind that this is just my personal opinion...

Japanese cars don't do anything for me. The sports cars are interesting, but the saloons and hatches leave me cold.

They're very comptetent, but completely soulless. The Auris is a case in point - I couldn't find any major reasons to fault it, but at the same time I couldn't find any reason to like it. To drive it is to feel the icy hand of death upon you - it's almost like it was designed with an enlarged prostate. On reflection, I'd get more excited buying a new toothbrush than I would buying an Auris. I just wouldn't be able to live with that on a day-to-day basis. The simple fact of the matter is that a Focus is a much better car too.

The Cadillac looks interesting. I've driven a CTS-V and it was a giggle. I'm not a fan of its looks mind, and I'd have niggling doubts about the long term build quality and residuals. The CTS I drove already had bits of interior trim going astray - but granted, it had already had a hard life.

I know it probably seems odd for me to say this too, but I'd steer clear of the old XK too if you can. It's essentially a 1970s XJS under the skin, and it's got far too many compromises to live with as a daily driver. I seriously looked at one when I bought my S-Type, but it honestly is a car from another era. The new one is full of several kinds of win though :)

I second rubberduck's question. Why the gleeful mood TGB?

The weekend was pretty good for me. Took the boy to see his first football match on Saturday - Aldershot vs Brentford - which he enjoyed and was a suprisingly good game as well so I was quite chuffed by that.

Back to another bog standard Monday now though. Still, there's always caffiene and nicotine to see me through!

Is that the Sally Sparrow episode then? I enjoyed that. Especially the humorous little bit at the end where the Doctor and Martha appear out of context in a 2008 street!

Edit@CHCB - I've done 4 spanner jobs (mostly suspension work) which were less hassle than 2 spanner ones. But in this case I suspect it's because you're likely to break the glass, rather than anything else.

Don't register with Recruitment Agencies.
If you're unemployed for a while don't expect to have your Job Seekers Allowance organised in less than a month.
The Job Centre are a useless bunch of cunts.
Apply for every job you possibly can, by yourself, don't go through anyone else.
