Id love a sexy BMW, i think it would suit me down to the ground! Doubt i will manage to get insured on it yet though, even the 1.6 litres im being quoted around £2k figure so is it really worth it?

Not the scary flyover at Portrack lane:eek: I always have a fear of driving over there incase I crash and fly off down onto the railway below:o

Gets a bit worrying when coming over there with an empty 40ft fridge trailer too Lou :eek:

Beware the BMW trap Rictus! Every fool who ever cut me up in my truck is usually driving one, especially with a Private Plate.
So many better cars out there without the Insurance Loading.

I've now found all my things to post. Now for a frantic sellotaping session and then off to post office. I'll feel better once I can say that chore is completed.

I'm then drooling over a washing line pole http://www.dobbies.co.uk/acatalog/vento-ven0015-clothes-line-pole.html?utm_source=base.google.com&utm_medium=product%2Bfeed&utm_campaign=google%2Bbase. We made our own from a lump of wood but it kept falling down Should I buy it?

Morning Bookie, I think that they do it on purpose too! Or maybe they need to clear their desk by Friday afternoon, who knows.
If you get the DHL job, will that make a difference to your potential offer? ( possibly a stupid Q, I know) . Its something else to throw at the Bank, or use in Court.
Wish I had a magic wand....

Thanks. I start a 30 hour a week job on Monday Pepe. Book-keeping.

Suzy - I saw last night your daughter is at Uni/plays rugby/is going to be a steward at Twickenham. Where is she studying? I lived near the stadium when I was studying. My campus was in Twickenham but is sadly now a load of flats

She's studying at St Mary's, Twickenham doing Theology BB. She absolutely loves it!!

Well done Bookie, thoughts are with you on this. Are the Bank the Primary Morgage Holder? We got to the 'keys in 7 days' point a few years ago ( the last recesssion) and we got everything stayed. They admitted that the last thing they needed was more property to shift at Auction.
Hopefully you can get through to someone with some Authority and bit of Humanity.

That was a truly DFW post Katsu. Go ahead, spoil yourself:rotfl:.
Things like this become a major, considered, purchase when we are in a DFW frame of mind.:D

I went to St Margarets Twickenam on St Margarets Road Fantastic area, sadly no long there though, it was beautiful, right on the river and we shared with Ballet Rambert. I was there 88-91 right at the end of the Yuppy era and walking along the tow path to Richmond and then sitting in a wine bar was all the rage for students I remember nearly keeling over though the first time I went and asked for half a cider and black (before I became yuppified!) and it was 75p :eek: That was mega expensive in comparison to drinking in Grimsby where I'd grown up :rotfl:

Brilliant part of London to study. Really nice areas and near enough to jump on the tube to the West End but far enough out to not have that horrible pushy 'London' feeling.

I applied to do St Mary's to do my degree there, but my application was lost and it was past the cut off date when I queried it - back in the days of snail mail and everything taking weeks to process.
