No, but she was a good ride nevertheless.

::o

filth!

[lozzyloz]

Did you get a look under the bonnet?

[Jah Lush]

Oh dear we're getting into Swiss Toni territory here aren't we. Anyway, buying a car like making love to a beautiful woman...etc etc. She had a lovely chassis actually Lozzy and underneath that bonnet was well oiled engine that put in a high performance....I'll get me coat.

[Keef]

Making love is like playing golf, you drive towards the hole whilst trying to avoid the rough! *sniggers*

Calm down boys - there's a whiff of testosterone

Built in obselescence? I'll ruddy well built in obselescence your ear young fella. See if I blooming don't.

Edited in order to ensure the spelling is as proper is as proper does. And no mistake.

[Moos]

Ooh, this thread is brilliant, proper chaps sitting around talking about chap stuff.

Do go on.

Don't mind me. (and giggirl)

Porsches. Blinking Porsches?? Outside my front porch? Not on your nelly.

I know your parents. GET OFF DOWN YOUR OWN END!!

[bon3yard]

S'funny, I was just looking at the spelling of...that word and realised it could do without the 'c'. Thanks for pointing it out though Honalucheebee, now get your sorry ass into pedants corner with that Lynn Truss and her team of hair-splitting superheroes. Ever get the feeling that the original thrust(ooer) of your thread has been hijacked by a bunch of Finbar Saunders types?

Sorry old thing, but I was merely having some fun, I assumed your original post was made in the spirit of, well, genuine frustration but at the same time humourous intent. I'm quite happy to have my ass in Pedant's Corner (see you neglected to capitalise and missed the apostrophe. Although there are some who would have it as Pedants Corner, or indeed Pedants' Corner) but I don't see why you seem to be having a pop at me. I'm confident that Lynne Trusse wouldn't approve of me any more than you seem to do. And as for Finnbarr Saunders and what he does, I'd best be taking my large purple rooster and putting it somewhere near a cat. That's the best I can do as far as the innuendo is concerned so no fear there.

Not sure about nobody, but you're a somebody with an opinion.

I'm still puzzled as to what point I incurred your wrath. Was it it the first two posts?

Was it the one about the porches?

Tell me, I'm very keen to know.

Seriously.

[bon3yard]

Porches? Wow, sorry if you get the feeling that I'm sitting here stewing in a puddle of angry juices, just a bit'o'banter s'all. Apply a cold flannel to your forehead and watch an episode of Heartbeat or something equally soothing. I shall worry you no more. ;-)

[HonaloochieB]

Flannel applied. I won't bother with Heartbeat though, not been the same since that nice Nick Berry left.

Banter was it? Thanks for putting my mind at rest. Apology accepted.

[mlteenie]

Just to head back to the original thread topic in my Asperger-like fashion...

To quote from a Campagnolo (nice cycle parts) enthusiasts' website:

'The Japanese have design with Kaizen. This word means continuous improvement in a product. They take a design and optimize it to the last degree.'

This in the cycle world at least, explains why Shimano are constantly changing their designs and rendering the old ones obsolete/incompatible. Effing annoying if you want that old part to be working years later. The Italians (Campagnolo) are a different matter.

And anyway, where can I get a new top for my Russell Hobbs coffee grinder?

[bon3yard]

Apology? If you like.

[Michael Palaeologus]

Certainly an element of adolescence in some of these posts - possibly built-in by nature or acquired by nuture, who can tell?

Certainly my chewing gum loses its flavour on the bedpost over night which is bloody outrageous and a damning condemnation of our times.

[Ant]

Have you tried licking the bedpost though?

Jokes are the worst culprit for this. They?re inevitably only funny once.
