    £40 for an MOT is ace. Its far better than them phoning to tell you that they can't MOT it because in between you topping up the screenwash and dropping it at the garage the bonnet catch died or the apology that they've had to fail it after the examiner grabbed hold of the chassis to take a quick look underneath only to find he had a handful of dust.

    The downside to the internet is you don't have the facial expressions to go with peoples comments so what one person views as a supportive and friendly kick up the bum can be viewed by others as offensive and downright rude. Thats never going to change. Its the difference between watching Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear and reading through the rambling of the same mad man on paper. One is almost funny whilst the other is truly barking.

    Hope you enjoy waking up the neighbours today. You never know they may secretly be v. jealous of your classic car ownership and tweak their curtains to lust after it each morning as they stare out the window at their souless modern box on wheels. My neighbours are the first to complain about the oil slicks outside the house and the noise and "that eyesore" and yet on snowy days they'll also materialise to ask for a tow out of the ditch with said eyesore or even a lift to the shops.



    Yep, i thought £40 was cool too. I was overjoyed, to say the least.

    Like i said, i do have a very dry sense of humour, and could well be likened to Jeremy Clarkson. I was only talking about him the other day, as i used to follow Top Gear, in ' the old days ' , when it first appeared on tv. I stopped watching it, some years ago, and i'm not too keen on the format now. I like Jack Dee, too, i could maybe be likened to him, if you know what i mean. Jo Brand is another one, come to think of it.

    In fact, there has been humour in my diary, in some places, throughout. I'm not a totally boring *, but even people who know me, don't understand how my mind works. Maybe thats why, in sections of my diary, i've never worked out why i'm so misunderstood. But then few people have ever taken the time or trouble to get to know me.

    So is this a manufacturing problem with myself or other people ( humour )? One thing is for sure. Since its my diary, i can't keep explaining the manner each sentence was written, so my diary is even more complex than it first appears.At least i, know what i mean. But my advice to all, is to maybe have a look at what you are reading, and look for the other side. Otherwise, maybe don't read at all. In fact, if you maybe reread my diary, you would laugh yourself the whole way through it, with the sense of irony. But even i, know thats not completely true, although there HAS been a degree of humour in places, too.


    Do i really care what the neighbours think? Do i heck.I'm eccentric, and happy to be called eccentic. Becuase i'm not a sheep. But then thats going back dowm the humour line, which no one understands, and maybe i talk in riddles, to most . WHo cares? I have to keep some degree of civility with my neighbours, as i could well end up sleeping in my car, as i was seriously considering doing, some time ago, in my diary. I can't afford to lose, any roof over my head.


    I've always put myself out to help other people, but when the going gets tough, the tough get going.....................

    And now its going from the ridiculous to the sublime, as i feel the need to edit everything i've posted, so that my words can't be taken the wrong way, or used in the wrong context, as they were on the bankruptcy board. But i am not going to cause an argument,simply by defending myself, which is what people want. SO STICK THAT UP YOUR PIPE AND SMOKE IT...................

    Nohope, at the end of the day, it is YOUR Diary. Write what you want, when you want. We are just nosey parkers, is that the right word in this situation? or should it be interested observers? Or are we the people reading Anne Frank's Diary?

    Anyhow, the purpose of your open diary is to be able to speak freely and speak your mind. We need to get to know you, and I for one, would like to do that. Have you ever met my DH? He is a Geordie, with a very different sense of humour to me! LOL.

    You are right, if we don't want to read, don't read. If we want to read, we need to understand you as a person and how you are writing. We need to understand you are eccentric, and have a very dry sense of humour and that there is humour in your diary. We should re-read it to see if we saw it the first time.

    Take care x
