      all good here, mate. just a bruised ego and a car up in the workshop.  seems to be cosmetic.

      It would have been rude of me to take pictures... through my window.... with her father standing there too.

  3. I want to hold in my hand the beating heart of an evil man. A wanker in all the sense of the world, disconnected from the nation he's leading.

      Trump is hilarious. Could you ever imagine him trying to negotiate with any world leader? He would get laughed out the room.

  4. :sigh: another blow, lost a bid for a merc, my back up vw got sold. and the only x5 i'd look at has serious juddering issues.

      While waiting is painful and sometimes difficult, purchase in haste and repent at leisure.

      wise words sir, potentially disastrous, but better to regret what one has done...

      Regret doing something; don't regret not doing something. ?

  5. Sometimes I feel I'm the only one working in this company lmao.

      Welcome to my world!
      I have one member of staff on long-term sick leave, and she plans to  move to a new role immediately she gets back but until that is formalised, I can't recruit.
      The other member of the team is very pregnant and on leave from 6 weeks time (assuming nothing happens before). She may be out for 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months... And I cannot recruit to replace her. She is also very specialist in what she does, and works part time. So finding someone to fill that role - temporarily - is incredibly unlikely.
      In the meantime, the business wants more and more from the IT and IS function!

      you should get paid double Graham. Hold the company to ransom. (I am trying to but I am very replaceable :LOL:)

      Paid double? I work at a council! Probably lucky to be paid at all! ;) 

      Actually - I do like my job. And I'm fortunate enough that I can make changes to the way things are done for the benefit of everyone.

      Keen o hear how you get on.
      Q7s haven't appealed to me, but I know people who have been very happy with them.

      absolutely! it's a 2008 model so prefacelift, but post engine upgrade. i have tested a few, just a tall riding A6. 

  8. Being denied an inheritance sucks. especially when it involves a BMW. :sigh:

      must have been a cruel cruel one. I can hardly remember. 

  9. I have until the first week of December to find a car.... too much time and the lust isn't abated, will i be on the edge for the next 5 months? 

    1. BozzaFC

      BozzaFC

      What sort of car are you after?

    2. lord_jagganath

      lord_jagganath

      that's the best part, i don't know. ideally diesel, would be a clean F11 or a E70 X5, or any E or ML, but would be reluctant to go over 20k. i suppose i could turn the thumbscrews down on dealers in November/December when they are under pressure to sell. 

  10. 5 o'clock customers turn up in  Range Rovers and Q8s....

      Take solace in that you are not alone...

  14. sooooo, there is balance in all things. the rent went up again, bringing the total increase in the last year up to 80 dollars a week. So, when can we start eating the rich and landlords? 

    1. gjm

      Not yet. Wait 'til they're fat and juicy.

  15. Thank the gods, the car can be repaired!

      I was told wrong. ?

  16. :sigh:... none of the backorders I had scheduled to be sent out when I was away did get sent out.... nothing gets done without me....

      You're important! 

       

  17. First word Problems, but the bosses are hogging the Veuve Clicquot...

      ONE MORE WEEK WOOOO

  19. Got head hunted this morning. Salary is 10% less than my current but has a car included on top (worth 17k) and commissions. wonder if i could just get that 17k in cash... as i have a nice car. :lol:  all in all it is probably not worth it, as the current place is quite cruisy.

      Bear i mind that this is the opening offer.
      You can say "I'm interested, but..."

  20. Watching my uncle's funeral going on in Malaysia through Zoom is my first experience with the app. a necessary one. it is a surreal experience.

      Sad times.
      But glad you *could* be involved.

  21. MY father passed away the week before last. Still feeling rather sad. I know he would have wanted me to celebrate his ascension to the heavens but I just feel so ... worn. and fed up? I wish i could take a gap year...

      I've found that after the initial sadness at such a situation, I too feel 'tired'. Try to eat well, sleep well, and get some exercise and fresh air.

  22. Being seduced by French Machines. svelte, but driven the wrong way.
