    Another inane thread.

    Just had our old Honda Civic MOT'd
    Its 18 years old

    £30.00

    I'll be sure to update the thread when I have a watch serviced without any problems or clean my dishwasher filter, coming soon having our chimney swept, oooerr missus.

    Oh congrats on the MOT they rock, WWWUW (what watch were you wearing)?

    I just drove my sweet 10 year old Civic 3K KM to Austria and back for snowboarding too...

    It's not one of those standard holders either, it's one of those plastic key jobbies.

    Rob is currently making delivery number 67, you are delivery number 80.
    Rob is approximately 45 minutes away from you.

    I went to Ecuador with someone called Colin and he bought a Panama hat whilst we were there. I know a different Colin who lives in Panama. Spooky.

    Well Rob must be running late.

    His last message said he was on delivery number 67, and that was nearly fifteen minutes ago.

    Sorry Captain Morgan but your delivery may be further than 45 minutes away. :)

    But what about my chimney?

    I don't know anybody called Colin.

    Although I once met Charlie Higson, who played Colin Hunt in The Fast Show. That's the best that I can do. I'm very ashamed.

    I wonder if chimney sweeps are cheaper in springtime? I'd imagine most people don't think about getting their chimney swept until autumn/winter.

    Alternatively you could drop a chicken down the chimney.

    I once worked in the office next to (neighbouring) a Colin, but he drove an incredibly small Ford.

    Dave and Rob both drove Civics.

    None of us work there any more.

    Sadly, leaving my job means I don't have a PA any longer and have to make my own coffee. Had I known that, I might still sit at my old desk...

    While drinking my coffee I've been working out lug to lug measurements for some watches by holding a ruler to my phone screen and then doing some sums. Here starts another action packed day on planet earth.

    When I was 17, on my dad's Honda Cub 90 with just the right wind behind me, I once managed to reach 60mph.

    Come to think of it, I once owned a Honda CBR900 Fireblade. It was rather fast, sometimes too fast for me - so I did the only sensible thing and bought an even faster bike.

    I am happy that I am over that period of my life now.

    I knew a Colin once who wore a leather cap, he also rode a Triton...I think he thought he looked like Marlon Brando, but he looked more like the bloke out of Frankie goes to Hollywood!
