    Hi Froggy, just popping in to say hi, hope you are well.

    I see the house isnt sold yet, hope you get something positive soon.
    I am still umming and arring about mine. For now I have put it off for a year. This might give me more of a deposit on a new house or I'll stay here and have more money for my future. :)

    Ia ora na Froggy,

    Kept me quiet for nearly five hours!! I'm absolutely claiming some assistive credit for the glorious cup adventure continuing. Nothing like the threat of a rampaging Scotsman with a big gun and an itchy trigger finger to motivate people into action. Let your boys know they've bought themselves a reprieve. With a fair wind and a good bit of belief, avoiding relegation is the next objective...

    Cheers,

    Billy

    Do'eent'aa Billy!

    Well, it felt good winning last night.. Proper boost to the morale..Will pass on your "kind wishes" to the rest of the team..
    I have alerted the local police forces of your forthcoming visit to the region, and I have been notified that they will expect you with "open arms"... :rotfl:

    Amka mbe Froggy,

    Well pleased for you and the boys. No fear in the league now that you know you've got some proper game when you need it!

    How little you know me! I've an insider in your regional polis' force and my visits down the M6 are well co-ordinated with busy police periods (looting was the last time and I believe there's the small matter of a football match this coming week) - that way they'll never miss the odd body or two that, quite coincidentally, may or may not go missing....

    Cheers,

    Billy

    Bear in mind Billy that the game is not till Sunday afternoon.. They will have plenty of time to deal with you on Friday night & Saturday..
    I have a very close relationship with the local forces, having seen them "deal" with my dodgy neighbours in the last few years..

    We will be ready for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Morning all! :j

    £150 spent on 2 new front tyres (Michelin) for OH's car.. Unfortunately, the tyre change has triggered the tyre pressure warning light on the dashboard.. I'll check all 4 tyres tonight when I fill up the car, and if it does not work I will need to get the car to the dealership for them to reset the computer system..

    Also got a $25 voucher for Amazon.com through a survey for a piece of software I currently use at work.. The survey only took 20 seconds :p.. However I can only use the voucher on the US website, and even chosing the cheapest item, shipping & customs would take me well above $25.. Any ideas how I can get round this issue? (I can not get an equivalent in GBP or use it on the UK or any other european Amazon webiste :().. If I can't use it, I was thinking of offering it to one of my colleague in the US..

    Cheers
    Froggy :D
