  1. Patiently waiting for my redundancy money to hit the bank.... ARGH

      Cheers :) I had to dip in to savings a little bit but nothing extreme, very much a relief to find work within the month! And a bit of an ego boost as well, had 4 jobs offers to pick from :)

      Not particularly, statutory minimum :( Luckily I found work again quickly... but I need to buy a new cooker as mine is kaput!

  3. I've run out of Yorkshire tea bags at my desk, it'll be works' provided Tetleys pyramid-with-no-tea-in-them bags for the rest of the day then :(

      lol, fair point, although these pyramid ones are particularly bad - I think they're the "one cup" ones ... It must mean one of those quaint tiny china cups though, because it certainly doesn't make a decent strength brew in a mug!

      A rotund middle aged man with a huge bald patch? That would probably be just about my luck!

  7. All I can hear (and feel if I stand in my back garden) is the bass noise coming from creamfields, in the course of getting annoyed by it I realised I've officially turned in to a grumpy old man!

      There's some good news out of it then! I don't deal well with going up hill :)

  8. Selling off a few cars... think I've come to my senses slightly and the Citigo 4x4 will be mad enough to keep me busy.

      Thecko

      Admit it ... you're selling a few off so you can partition up part of your warehouse/garage to install a snooker table with spectator seating ;)

      Shave your head and put an ear ring in. That'll make you look less approachable!

  10. Dropped wireless keyboard on my knee, made me kick cup of tea off the coffee table. Fail. Still, at least I know my patellar reflex is OK.

      No problem - I laughed too when I was drying the carpet out! ;)

  12. New to this forum. i drive a Ford Fiesta ST and to be honest gents, shes not the most powerfull even after a tune, but im wanting a Skoda Fabia se PD 130. im wondering if anyone will be able to give me a heads up on the preformance of the car ??

    1. Thecko

      Might be worth posting in the Fabia forum mate instead of in the status updates, not sure many people look at this part of the site.

  13. Thats 3 weeks off the cigs, not been a problem until today....could quite easily murder someone for a cig :-(

    1. Thecko

      Thecko

      3 weeks is a good effort! Count up how much cash you've saved, may help you alleviate the cravings a bit!

      I'm stuck in work all day today, I'm just a wimp/nesh when it comes to being out in the rain ;-)

      I did used to use something called showroom shine from greased lightning that my dad gave me once on my Fabia which always did a good job, might look at getting some more of it - no bucket/sponges required, just a healthy supply of microfibre cloths!
