  1. White or brown? The 'bread' I mean, not the cat Paul
  2. This makes me smile every time:- Paul
  3. Few years ago I was delivering to a Tesco store on 17th December. Got to the store and opened up to find 10 pallets of Easter Eggs!! Thought they'd given me the wrong trailer but no, it was correct, so they can re-merchandise the "seasonal" section two days BEFORE Christmas! Paul
  4. Cheered me up, I absolutely HATE summer and dread it every year!! Good riddance to it I say. Paul
  5. The "giveaway" was that the picture is of an ape, not a monkey Paul
  6. That would be funny if it wasn't perpetuating the common myth that Schizophrenia is the same as Multiple Personality Disorder. Schizophrenia is usually characterised by detachment from reality, hearing voices that don't actually exist, hostility, depression or general confusion. Multiple Personality Disorder is usually where the sufferer has two or more distinct personas with their own character traits, as you suggested. Paul
  7. My MG Montego Turbo had TDX tyres - 195/65/VR365 - 10mm wider tread than the standard Montego tyres and V-rated rather than H-rated. They were unique to the MG Turbo model, and therefore were much more expensive to buy at the time than a pair of rear tyres for a Porsche 911 Turbo!! Paul
  8. Who or what is Optimus Prime? Paul
  9. It doesn't show the usual tell-tale signs of being photoshopped? Paul
  10. Why, bad is it? Seen a few of their named beers in supermarkets but not tried them, tend to stick to the ones I already know are good - Doom Bar, Black Sheep Ale, Waggledance, etc Paul
  11. I don't ever intend to sell any of my trains so box gets recycled and all stock is kept in JB Model's boxes with foam inserts. Only packaging I actually keep is polystyrene from bigger purchases to use as contours for future layouts Paul
  12. Sharp's Doom Bar, my 'mainstream' ale of choice Paul
  13. . . . I'd spend £100k on a modified Nissan GT-R that would blow that overpriced piece of crap into the weeds as well as having four seats and a usable boot, and have £150k change to spend on other things Paul
  14. Pathetic! Exactly why I don't visit Twitter (or Tw@tter as I call it), or any social media Paul
  15. And if you're turning right don't get in the left lane and then go right round the outside of the roundabout!! Paul
  16. Had a juvenile Great Spotted Woodpecker in the garden this morning, keeping the local Starling population off the fat-ball feeder. Makes a change from them keeping the sparrows and tits off it themselves!! Paul
  17. stop right now, thank you very much, I need somebody with a
  18. It's obviously selling well then? Reduced to clear - yeah, about 50 years out of date! Paul
  19. Also I saw at least two dozen swifts swooping over the houses on my way to work earlier this week. Paul
  20. No starlings you say? Adults and juveniles everywhere round here, the conifer tree across the road regularly houses over a hundred at night!
  21. Here's my current garage ornament before I started the major overhaul
  22. The Skyline was only ever an import into the UK, the R35 GT-R (without 'Skyline' name) was the first model to actively be sold here. Would love an R33 GT-R V-spec Paul
  23. Resorting to post-count snobbery now huh? We all have different opinions, and so far I don't believe that I've rubbished anyone else's, just thrown my own into the mix which I'm entitled to do. I believe humans as a race are vermin who breed without thought of resources, and destroy other animals' habitats for our own gratification (be that food or simply non-essential cosmetics), because we believe we're entitled to do so. And we're supposedly intelligent? Case in point: On a radio discussion a few months back some woman was crowing on about how much she recycles, how she encourages her young children to do so, and how much she tries to "be green". How many kids did she have? FIVE She had no concept that she has now infected our planet with five more drains on all the resources they're going to need throughout their many decades of life, but it's all OK because she chucks bits of cardboard in a special bin. No thought to having less consumers to start with then. When we're dealing with this kind of stupid what is the point in having belief in the human race? So I stand by my point: the quicker humans disappear from the face of the Earth the better for the other life forms on it. Paul
  24. Went to a car show at Gaydon Motor Heritage Centre a few years back with a Ford club. A bunch of us were looking round the museum when we came across the Jaguar XJ220. Knowing it was a "parts bin special" we were busy pointing out all the bits we could identify from other cars when we noticed it had Ford locks. So we all tried our keys in the door and guess who's key opened it with the full cacophony of central-locking? Quickly locked it again and walked away sharpish! Paul
  25. Sadly that's going to happen more and more as values increase. Any half-decent Mini is worth over 5 grand now, and Minis are even easier to steal than the Fords that have been the scumbag's vehicle of choice for years. Paul
