CLOSED - THANKS to all customers for the last few years

Don't see why not Keaydian.....LOL
Yes JS it looks grey, not good as I have a stack of bed linen whirling as we speak in the washing machine plus another one waiting and destine for the washing line..

K. You can stay in bed as long as you like. Just don't expect me to wake you up with a cup of coffee, a red rose and a good morning kiss!

Bunny, there's a bit of sun starting to break thorugh to the south, so you might get lucky :-)

Re: the waking of our Keaydian and in view of the comment above I wish to add......Err...nor me thank you beyond the cup of coffee LOL ;>)

Sunshine would be great!
Get any storms last evening?
WE had the ol' Ka-Boom! and very heavy rain that thankfully didn't last long.

We had some of that Ka-Boom as well, nice this morning.

Morning Opto.

Yep. Definitely Ka-Boomed a few times, bits of blue trying to appear now.

PS I wonder if a Ka-Boom-Boom could be the new definition for a small car with a big stereo?

Got a few of those around here, then again I reckon they are around most places. They will be a lot quieter when visiting hospital with damaged ear drums.
Wonder if they will be able to claim against the equipment manufacturers :-)

JS LOL - very quick for this time of day - impressive ;>)
I don't think the ear damage will show up necessarily until they are a lot older Opto but I agree they aren't clever if the bass is up too high!

Don't be stupid... of course they wont be able to sue anyone. That means they would need to be able to sign their names and I'm not sure that the creatures that came between the amoeba and chimps can actually sign an x

Bunny, will you speak up please :-)

Errr....JS...a retraction please or I'll send the boys round! ;>)
(being a Mum of a son who owns a mobile disco LOL)

Note to AM moderator.....He knows I'm joking or should do....

Now Bunny I'm not classing all of this nations youth as being thicker than the occupants of the nearest puddle, and if your son has the intelligence and ability to put together an entertainment business of his own, I wouldn't dream of suggesting he is anything but his mothers son. I'm just suggesting that origins of the spoken word could probably be deciphered if you spent long enough listening to the grunts and squawks that emanate from those whose knuckles support the air in their head. :-)

LOL Oh don't worry I agree with you, these sound systems are a pain in the neck, totally a nightmare for using a car boot for anything but holding the sound system, forget shopping bags etc. Fortunately mine will go along with No Bass if Ma Bunny here is in the car, I'm not keen on driving along with my internal organs bouncing along to the beat, very strange feeling LOL

But it's being young....remember our in car sound systems years ago being frowned upon for being too noisey in their day.....gawd! Do you think we are all getting old?
:>S

zzzzz zzzzz zzzzz

Refuse to believe I'm getting old, after all I'm driving a vehicle that can be heard from a couple of miles away. The only difference to the baked bean can generation is my belief that you have to have the power to back up the promise.

My wonderful ex once asked me why I was considering buying an old Italian thoroughbred that needed some TLC when I could have a brand new silver box with electric windows, air conditioning and a 1.2l engine for the same amount... the silly thing is that I walked away from the Italian for her.That suggests to me that the younger generation consider appearences and noise to be more important than performance.

I know number one son - he of the mobile disco - is looking to change his beamer for a newer one, talking about (don't ask me models etc not a clue LOL) the newer beamer that is 2 door and convertible and has more 'oomph' then his older one. If it's what he wants, at this stage, young, no commitments, mortgage etc then my feelings are go for it. BUT I have always said to him Don't you dare right yourself off in a higher powered car or I'll be after you....Oddly he just grins ;>)

Considering he's younger than me would you like to let me know what insurance company he's with as there's no way I could get, let alone afford insurance on that kind of vehicle at his age!!!

Yes, my parents are the same - I've been banned by my mother from ever getting a bike (ahem bike, what bike?) my theory being that if your going fast enough then you wont survive to worry about explaining yourself to your parents :-)

This market is SO slow - Ascot no doubt to blame! - I'll off to clean the bathroom, if things speed up please shout loudly! Thank you :>)

JS - Yes I know, I think that's why he grins when I say I'll be after him when his written off, he knows even I can't manage that LOL
Insurance I know I've thought about that, at 21, mind you with a clean license and full no claims I think he's hoping but will leave him to find out himself, although his current car is relatively reasonable for him to insure (TPF&T basis) that one would be much more difficult and that's without the postcode nightmares of course.
But if he finds a way I'll let you know.

"at this stage, young, no commitments, mortgage"

But not at the next stage. Why not save the money now for the future rather than blowing it on a fast depreciating asset, and moaning in a few years' time that houses are just not affordable?

:-)

Kayak - can't put old heads on young shoulders......more mature eyes see the world differently. Property is way out of the question, if it was more affordable it would give an incentive but I think like many youngsters - round here anyway - they are resigned to owning a home being something for much later life. Shame...I remember being 21 and us getting our first property, but it least it was feasible then.

Either Ascot or waiting to see if US can break through 13700 on Mortgage report.

Just been doing some digging around whilst waiting for the market. Can't even get a quote on the Beemer. Value of car after 3 years approximately half of purchase price. Good luck!

Think we've got to wait for the Americans to wake up before anythign happens, so best get some other work done :-(
