    Ah now I'm wih you.

    Never liked auto gearboxes, think they're for lazy people.

    A guy I went to School withs dad owns a haulage company and his mum did her artic test just to prove a point. His dad and my boss always had some dodgy deal or another going on and his mum delivered something to the farm one day. She was 5' nothing and built like a rake. Her language made me blush!:eek::eek:
    oh i can give as much as i get, but NEVER in front of my late mum or my son. only exceptions are when i am driving and a taxi pi$$es me off. my son understands this and knows his mum is really angry. :o

    Hi,
    been 'lurking' on here for a while, waiting to pluck up the courage to try for a DTD
    And just got my 1st DTD today !! on the chicken, also got the glitch on the mullers as well - very happy.
    Would just like to say thank you to all you nutters on here as its cheered me up no end - having been made redundant just before xmass I've been really struggling big style.
    and being a single bloke in the situation of having to choose heating or eating, and with a mortgage to pay 'every little helps' - you lot have really helped put a smile on my face again.
    BTW the store was in South T3lf0rD - they also had lots of the telescopes, keyboards and guitars - but didn't check them as don't need them (and couldn't afford them) - and the scanner is in the next aisle ;-)
    HTH
    again a big thanks to you all - you really don't know how much this means to me *sobbing with joy*

    Thanks but think the reason why hers hasnt scanned is because she thought she'd got £5 of frozen but the chicken was only 50p not £2 making her bill £3.50 spent on frozen, a £1.50 underspend. However I must say a big thanks to that lady because I was able to get 4 of the chicken meals last night!! & thanks to yourself for help also :)

    I love how nothing ever seems too much trouble for people on this thread, everyone is sooo kind & generous with their time, which is something that rarely seems to happen in real life these days. Think Im having a moment! But its a credit to you guys that I am a much more confident person now than a year ago & am finally beating the wretched anxiety disorder that has gripped me for the past 5 years. So a big group hug is in order (was gonna use the smilie for that but I cant help feeling it looks soooo wrong!)

    That's really good, I suffer from anxiety too and having friends on the computer (sort of) has really helped me too, so thanks guys xx

    going to football today and hopefully see my team swindon beat wigan in the cup. not much chance i know but a chance. any way reason for posting is to ask happychappy how many people are watching the shoes now. i have to sign out now but look forward to seeing the answer.:D

    I got stuck in all that flamin' traffic! I stopped in the extended bit of the car park for a minute to look something up on my phone, and it seems half the town parked in T's for the match, so it was heaving! I decided I might as well park in one of the many recently vacated spots and go for a mosey around, nothing to be found though!

    I never know there's a match on until I see the throngs of people heading to/from the county ground lol!

    I know what you mean :( Ex [STRIKE]decided[/STRIKE] dictated that we should have a 7 seater car for 5 people, 1 of whom was rarely in it (kid from 1st marriage). He bought a heap of junk from the auction which came complete with dings, scratches and even a broken wing mirror that wasn't listed on the auction details but he knew best. £500 and 4 new tyres later I'm driving an automatic (with flappy paddles should I feel the need to go into semi-automatic mode) with a fan belt that's about to snap and 3 windscreen wipers that need replacing seemingly only by the dealer as Halfrauds don't stock the ones my car needs. Oh and an mpg of around 25 :mad:

    How on earth do people prefer automatics to manuals. Unless it's the car I have, how do you do something so simple as just edge forward a bit without either taking off up the street or almost stalling? Give me clutch control any day. Anyone wanna buy my car :rotfl: But apart from that it's .... nah it's still a heap of
