    Went to see The Curious Case of Benjamin Button with my girlfriend.

    It was a good movie, albeit a little sad.
    I recommend seeing it.

    It was a joke - a poor one.

    I was trying to illustrate that you were so odious that no woman and/or man could date you.

    You know I love you secretly actually.

    Dad just payed just under £200 for new front brake pads for the Audi including VAT & labour, but...
    Now needs a new rear bumper as something has hit it hard or maybe whilst at the dealership, someone on the staff reversed it into something hard... Nobody knows...

    The staff wouldn't admit it if they damaged the bumper.

    No, you'd hope they'd treat it as they would they're own car, if their car was damaged whilst having work done on it, they'd want the person to own up to it...

    Dealership say they'll be looking at the CCTV footage tomorrow, we all gave up on Saturday because nobody knew exact times it moved etc and it had been sitting in a bay around the side for ages after it came back from test-drive before going to the valet bay. Dad & I could see it through the window from our sofa's with our drinks but we weren't able to see the back as it was backed up to a hedge with the rear facing the Mercedes dealer next door, we then wen't to have a look at the new Q5 and when we came back it had gone, so we wouldn't have been able to see if it was damaged as it drove off. Same goes when it shot past us on it's way out to Test Drive. We don't know when it happened so noone can prove either way...

    This reminds me of that story I heard of the Chevrolet dealership, who after telling the customer that his car "needed repairs" promptly blew past the guy on the freeway. In his car.
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    I have decided on a GPS navigation device. One of the couple reasons: I'm miles away from any familiar place, and hungry...ah' yes, McDonalds - NO, Burger King - NO....dam't, were is a Arbys or Subway when you want one.


    Purchased at $240, for what retails for $400. The Maestro 4350 just recently came out to, sounds like a good deal?

    Were the miles recorded on a receipt?

    3 board feet of African mahogany, 5 board feet of soft maple. Secret project.

    With his galleons and guns
    Looking for the new world
    In that palace in the sun
    On the shore lay Montezuma
    With his cocoa leaves and pearls
