I went through a stage of thinking I shouldn't own another 156 and tried with no avail to fall for the 147.

Re: Alexanders opening night

Right then, I've just been talking to Mr. O and I think he's going to grace us with his presence so who else wants a ticket?

So far I've got tickets reserved for Rosso, Bri, Mr. O and myself.

what's it for again?



I mean they aren't going to give a **** if I'm there since I'm not likely to buy a new car from them any time soon, or get my car serviced by them.......

so..........what's the point?

Re: Alexanders opening night

I'm on night shift so I'll not be supping either.




However, Mr. O is on days and I'm giving him a lift!

May I bag one R?

Do the invites include partners, or will I need one for 'er indoors' too?
