Somebody has just driven past my office in an Audi R8 with a completely chrome paintjob. He looks like a weapons grade cock.
What displays of attention seeking have you witnessed recently?

My dad has suddendly decided I'm an idiot for wanting to get a fucking life and move
Part of me thinks my mother is involved. I dunno why he cares he keeps claiming he's going to miss me but I see him maybe every other week for dinner (so three or four hours max)I think he's being selfish as he doesn't want me to sell my car because he likes it? It's just a fucking car. Ugh.

I shall repost my favourite number plate story
about 8-10 years ago in london, there was a gentleman of the Afro-Caribbean persuasion (this will become relevant later) who had a brand new TVR Tuscan, full fucking chameleon paintjob, the works. I'd see him cruising round the centre, drum'n'bass blaring.

What he said
It's based on an episode of Happy Days where Fonzie quite literally jumps over a shark on a jetski. For some reason, whereas up to that point Happy Days had always been great TV, thereafter it bit.

Opinion is widely divided and hotly debated as to at what point certain programmes jumped the shark. I would argue that Red Dwarf did so after the end of series 6 but there are some who would say that everything after series 4 was pap. These people are wrong. Do not trust them or accept their offer of sweeties.

Good, I think !
I phoned up last thursday's one last night and they said they haven't decided yet, so I'm praying I get that one, as it seems ace.
I got a meeting at 3 today with a new company which I think it'll result in a re-design / re-build of their current site. It's a really budget-concious charity, so I won't make much money on it; but it'll help keep the wolf from the door and bulk up the CV
I've had 3 emails saying "We're taking your CV to the client" from verious agencys.

I've realised that in terms of work that I'm extreamlly proud off and show a large range of skills, there is only two sites. They show more or less everything I need to show, but it's not good that one of them is in development and one of them is a personal site. Portfolio is scarce 'cus I've spent the last year on just one site. So I should be able to knock out this lolsy facebook trolling site (that shows off that I can interact with FB), today's charity site, and my own personal profesional site.

Proofreader for hire if you need one gonzaroo :)

Deffo !
I have a copywriter who's really established, but she isn't cheap in the slightest, sometimes she can take up to 30-40% of the site's entire budget. She was the lead copywriter for Signet; more specificily, the H.Samuel and Earnest Jones websites. She's my cousin, and she's amazing at what she does, but when a site is like £400-500 for 8 pages, and she's taking £25-35 a page, and that not including stock photography, it can be a bit much.

It's a very important aspect of the site; the wording; but on my scale I'm working on, it can push the job into being just about worth it for me.

She's created for me quite a bit of work in the past too though.

Oh, I also forgot
I used to play hockey at Chelsea's old training ground occasionally. Damion Duff's Range Rover had the numberplate "DUFFA" (no, I don't know how, legally, but it did).

And he used to moan about intrusion into his private life. Cock.

I don't really have that big a problem
with personalised reg numbers. But when they're spelling out an early nineties buzzword whilst attached to an already gaudy cock-mobile, I will suspend my otherwise fairly laidback attitude to them.

Just how big an attention-seeking clown do you have to be to think to yourself "My oversized Chelsea tractor doesn't get me enough attention, I'd best spend another couple of grand on getting me a reg that'll make me look well street, innit. I'll look almost exactly like LL Cool J then!"

It won't, but it will make your car look like the vehicular equivalent of Jordan, you total, total cock.

Or at least they are running a false plate if they are. 81 plates won't come out until 2031.

Eh? You can have any combination of numbers and letters can't you?
You're just not allowed to make out a car is newer than it is.
(, Tue 28 Sep 2010, 11:55, Reply)
no, you can't.
You can only have plates after they are released. You can have any plate that has been previously released as long as it isn't registered on another car. (Edit) and, as you say, you can't make a car look newer than it is)

The current system uses two letters to signify the area (so all scots plates start S) and then two numbers for the year, for 6 month sections. So 02 and 52 were 2002. 12 and 62 are 2012, so 31 and 81 would be 2031.

If someone is running that plate it's probably MY51 TCH and maybe they've put screw heads in the 5 to look like an 8.

I think it depends what you are trying to achieve.
It's very British to find them vulgar, though. The Yanks generally have them, and transfer them from car to car, which actually makes more sense than our system, I think, as the plate gives you the driver not the car.

I'd have one if I thought it wasn't cunty. But I wouldn't pay lots of money for it.

You can't get ones that are classified as offensive
