    Goodness Wheezy, how did you ever find him? Did he simply come back when you called?

    ETA, Ah, spotted him now!

    Sure, he never wanders off very far on his own in unknown places, luckily.
    The next day he had lots of fun in rock pools at low tide. :)

    The woman sitting next to me at the bus stop keeps smelling her phone. There are some very odd people in this world.

    I've just made the first (and last) call on my watch. It worked fine, but I just can't think how anyone in there right mind would do this in public! I'm waiting for the first…...I'm on a train…..I'm talking to you on my watch……I'm about to be sectioned :rotfl:

    Thank you - that picture really cheered me up :)

    A very short, to the point, message sent (I don't understand what there is to discuss. Last paid x on date, y left to repay). Been in a terrible mood all morning so decided just to get it sent.
    Appreciate the advice, lir but Lydia summed it up. I've been very non-contact. But I want my money. I could do a lot with it, and I'm sure he still has ££ to waste. I'd like to be able to waste/ whatever it

    But more than that, I'd like to be reincarnated as a Wheezy westie. Looks like great fun :D

    Edit: p.s. thanks for giving me a place to vent a small fraction of the things I'd have liked to have put in my reply but shouldn't :)

    I dropped my car keys in the dog pooperscooper once :eek: I tend to hold the keys in my mouth while scooping if I have them. I bleached and scrubbed those beepers about fifty times.

    sadly, I can relate to that....:o

    I remember when I first got a mobile, it was terribly embarassing making a call, you have just got to think of yourself as being at the cutting edge and an innovator and all that. Let us know how many funny looks there are though:D

    The account manager where I get the company mobiles from is younger than my mobile number. I feel old.

    Isn't he cool. :j


    My little white dog is not so much fun. I'm annoyed he doesn't swim.

    ....

    How would I go about knowing what size/car it's for?

    I'm guessing looking for the tyre size on the rubber will tell the size though .... and then see how many holes it has. But then it's about the metal it's made from.... need to be able to adequately describe it in order to optimise the sales potential.

    I suppose it will either be a plain steel wheel rim:$_35.JPG
    or an alloy:

    and yes, size will be on tyre eg 195/55 R16 = 16 inch

    Got a very speedy reply...

    Will delete:

    >>Are you free to meet sometime in June? Wanted to discuss money I owe you and I think it's something we should do in person - I totally understand if you don't want to see me again

    >>I don't understand what there is to discuss - you last repaid £50 at the start of March, leaving £3155 to be paid back

    >>Ok, I would have liked to see you. I shall hopefully pay another couple of grand back soon

    Idiot.

    None of mine swim - voluntarily - either. Heidi the Hairy will happily sit out in sleet, force 10 gales, nonchalently sniffing the air as if it were a summer breeze:eek:

    In vehicle news, one of the 7.5 ton drivers has hit a bridge. Darn those moving bridges.....
