And they always start it with "Its just a quick call"!! I've no excuse really cos its a cordless phone so i could've carried on pottering about!!

Ah, just enjoy your mums while you have them...it's been years since mine died...and I still reach for the phone to call her and talk to her...

In other...FUNNIER news...I am going to see today ABBA tribute band...yeah...no kidding...but it's in the State Theater which is pretty serious venue...so hopefully it will be not so bad...or not as bad as I am already cringing...LOL...

Knobby1666....your inbox is full again

That's how mine was too...

In other news...

Too bloody HOT !

bit of ML trivia:
The opening song for the CdC-tour is "I want you so hard (boy's bad news)" by the "eagles of death metal"
One of the singers on the original track is actually Jack Black. :cool:

I like that bit of trivia, esp as it's a sort of circular link as Meat played the young Jack Black's dad in the Tenacious D movie.

Much as my mum can be a bit of a pain sometimes, she keeps me entertained and is always first port of call when I need advice for something (afterall, she managed to get to 60, and raised me, so she can't be far wrong about things!)

yep, especially as Im a big fan of both of their music :D

Agreed! At least when it's really cold you can put on some more clothes to warm up, in this weather you can be wearing nothing and taking cold showers every few hours and STILL be roasting :evil:

You're scarily clever. Can I hang around with you for a while in the hopes that some of your car knowledge will rub off? It interests me, just no one is ever around to explain what everything does, and in a really really scary fashion, I know more about cars than any of my friends (i.e. I'm the only one who knows how to change a tyre)

I think it's a series 2...it's a 51 plate. That exhaust bit in your link does look a lot like the part of the exhaust with the huge gaping hole in it (how that went like that without me realising is somewhat embarrassing i can tell you!), but there is also the thing that from your explanation sounds like it is definately the lambda sensor. Yes it's still there, but am not entirely sure what the thing is that it attaches to - will take it to the garage to sort that bit.

Thank you btw, I feel much better now I know what some of the bits are and I can explain a little easier to the mechanic now, rather than doing that dumb blonde thing of saying "it's making a noise"!

Since I feel we've had 4 months of winter followed by 3 months of autumn so far this year, I am not complaining at all about the weather. I rather enjoyed being decadent and having a pub lunch and lager in a beer garden this afternoon and my shoulders are a lovely pink colour as a souvenir! :D Whilst I despise the heat inside the office (I have no windows and no air conditioning), I have no complaints at weekend!

i dont mind the heat so much,its just the humidity i cant stand..

im a paid member of the duke special fan club now...

paid member as in paid up member??
Now that´s the sort of a fanclub I was looking for...
where can I join???
:p


----------

3,5 weeks holiday!!! Whohooo! My first holiday since December last year :shock:
Oops, gotta set the alarm. I´m be expected to be at work tomorrow....

Can anybody spot the mistake?? ( :bicker: )

lol poor, ill go

i got a bit confused watching jay leno tonight and was watching duke spirit perform...they were poor by the way

Absolutely PMSL @ Top Gear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Too hot to fall asleep

the bright side is, its nothing too major, the darkside is... looks like you've an enclosed cat, which makes that part about 125 quid, ive a may 2000 series 2 outside the door and its same downpipe as the 95 series 1 outside the door, i'm sorry i've no idea what mod was made for the 01 range

Anyone else got that Woosh feeling?!! And i dont think its cos i've had a glass of wine lol!!

Too warm to even contemplate sleeping right now. Very glad I'm not working tomorrow!

I dont work mondays ,thank god..going on tour of the Emirates stadium so i hope its not too hot...

Barb!!!!! You lucky devil!!! All I'm doing today is packing ready to jet off to sunny Sri Lanka tomorrow.... lol....

Estonia piccies up on Facebook, if anyone's interested.... and yes, the pics of me DO have beer in...

A. Le Coq down by the beach, and cinnamon beer in The Olde Hansa in Tallinn... and it was scrummy!

If anyone ever goes to Estonia, especially Tallinn, I'd heartily recommend The Olde Hansa - they have bear on the menu, and one of the guys had it last Friday night so I tried some - it's delicious! And the fillet mignon I had was perfect... I'm drooling at the thought of it...

I don´t like flying

you'll be grand :D... besides it'll be worth it!!!

it's a bit warm today...
whats it take to be banned these days?

You're becoming a frequent flyer now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now about that ABBA tribute...

I should really study what I am going to see...the clue should have been that it was in the State Theater.

The thing is...this is a full blown band with even 2 members from origininal ABBA band as guests...they are Swedish and performed in venues like RAH and Rose Ball in LA...

The are allowed knock off of original ABBA costumes and, in essense, represent ABBA as a band that is no more...and while instrumentals were pretty close to albums as we know them...vocals were better in my opinion, especially girls...The blond girl looks like a spit image of the original one...

In any event...this was a whole lot more serious affair than I expected and it was really really decent...

A little piece of trivia...somewhere in the world every 15 seconds ABBA album is sold...WOW...

Interesting Abba trivia! Who was the tribute band?

Car is back home safe with new catalyst/exhaust section according to mechanic (though I didn't pick the car up, so that's the second hand story), cost wasn't too bad - affordable at least, and car is back home and driving now without notifying the entire neighbourhood of my movements. Which is the main thing :)

So we'll see you on Saturday then?!

It is actually pretty amazing trivia...they still sell around 2 million albums a year...geez...

The tribute band was called Waterloo...of course...

And congrats on the car...if I was getting Jonty's posts instead of you I would have traded my car for bicycle...

jonty clean out your pm box ffs

I know lol
Which makes it even more pathetic that I still have that fear :doh:
On the other hand, my last flight was 9 month ago ...

that was a heck of a thunderstorm :cool:

shame it was only a brief one.

Jonty was my life saver because I could call up the mechanic and give him a vague idea of what the problem was, rather than just saying "it's making a noise" (although he heard that, as he heard me coming down the street) - thanks Jonty! :up:

And yeay, Sam and me will be at London on Saturday - yeay! (Sam's girlfriend's at a McFly concert so I'm allowed loan of him for the day! Lol!)

imagine the shame of liking mcfly:shock:

or liking Meat Loaf! :shock:


aaah....what a luck that were the Westlife fan club! :))

Yes its only been here since 1937 but i can give you alternative nearby streets lol!!

What about the McDonalds on the other side of the road??
We´ve got every single existing McDonald in our German sat navs lol
Or would the gas station be an option??

Well...on a bright side...I have received DVD and it works here...although I haven't watched it yet...like a good sex this needs a build up of anticipation...

On a down side...Scrabble is disabled for US and Canada on facebook until further notice...I think I will be going through terrible withdrawal from my bezillion games...on the other hand...it looked like I am losing all of them anyway...so...maybe there is somewhere bright side to this...

Permission to swear? No ok I'll just use symbols instead, lol!
£*&*%£ conveyancing clerk at my solicitors phoned me in a panic saying the offer doc of my mortgage says we need to complete in 3 weeks which is impossible. plus that the property price is incorrect. turns out she has a different covering letter to me and it's a typo - but has me phoning bank to get them to clarify, send correct covering letter to solicitors office and also to confirm that the date in 3 weeks time is the date by which i need to return the document. which i've already done and they've received. bloody hell!

Ugh, stupid hayfever. At least I really hope it's only hayfever that's making me sneeze rather than a cold!

thats pretty quick, isnt it?
still waiting for mine....

can i tag myself in others peoples photos on facebook?

RJ, it took 5 days for package and 6 business days for DVD...what is your handle over there? I don't see you???

Yeah, I think you can tag yourself but only if it's you...

I think you can now tag yourself and anyone else in photos of friends, and possibly also in photos you have access to view.
