At least you could take your merchandise art along!
Did you sell well?

Even with your top up?

Watched Sopranos last night - what a series

Too much sun today... Got nothing done but drink champagne, eat strawberries and asparagus, barBQ later this night - now catching up with the drivel to the tune of the original Bill Evans trio....

Atleast you got to drive it again for a while

Re: The Chat Thread

bye H!

Yes I got to drive it again and when I was made redundant I had the opportunity to bye it but I picked the volvo because I thought it was the better investment resale wise - oh how wrong could I be! Took for ever to sell

and serves you right
When I was younger and not as smart as I am now, I had a Volvo V40.


I could have joned the BORED if not for the fact that there is no AO for volvo drivers...

Re: The Chat Thread

yep too true Al - I just wanted to make a few quid and the Volvo was offered nice and cheap so I went for it - I had it as my own car for 6 months and ended up selling it for £1000 less than I paid!! Not a good investment
my weekend has been good beer and BBQ were the main things!
