Just a quick question
I'm going to buy this:

Unless one of you tells me you have one you want to get rid off, for a reasonable price, in good condition and better if it's around Manchester (although we could arrange picking it from somewhere else)

I have a real one and try to cycle to work everyday, but it's far too dangerous. In the last 3 years the number of cars in the road has gone up like crazy. And I hate the rain.

On top of that, I have big plans for the near future which will make the use of the real one impossible, that's why I need this other one.

Voiceover?
Like a David Attenborough style commentary?

"Here, we see that the blue sofa, which has probably been in this cheap, run-down rented appartment for some years and is stained with more than its fair share of semen and lubricant, is playing host to a trio of fornicating homo sapiens, one of whom has likely had her mammaries enhanced with some form of silicon-based compound. The mating position they have assumed is, it's fair to say, somewhat unnatural. The two males of the species seem to be unaware that their attempt to feritlise the female will be ineffective, as they ejaculate in her colon and over her face respectively..."

Honestly I used to enjoy it and occasionally do now, but
I'm entirely sick of its contrived set-up-to-be-close challenges, scripted amusement and tired stereotype interplay. They rarely review normal cars instead of cars I'll never be able to afford and the only reason it's not known as Nuts or Zoo TV is because it doesn't have football and tits on it.
