    I would go for delivered in a chauffeur driven gold plated Bentley , encased in a golden casket resting on the Ark of the Covenant if you don't mind😊
    BTW , the chauffeur must be seriously easy on the eye

    @Hostafan1, I know the thread's moved on a bit, but just thought I'd let you know that when I got pranged the day Obama  wanted to see Stonehenge, my old Fiesta was written off by the garage. I wanted to keep it as it was still driveable so my insurance company actually paid me the written off value (about £250 from memory), I kept the car and the insurance. All I had to do was to pay about £57 to DVLC to examine the car and pass it as roadworthy. I drove it to Avonmouth (nearest DVLC checking centre), examiner walked round it once and  said that's okay.

  • Think my mother was into this pronoun gender thing, when I was a child I desperately wanted to go to ballet classes. My darling mother said "Baby elephants don't go to ballet classes"  :( true story!

    I wanted to be a mermaid, but a few biology lessons age 14 put paid to that.  DNA , genes and all that.  A friends son has decided that he wants to be known as "they". He's a straight dressing male heterosexual with a girlfriend.  I point out that "they " means two or more.  His parents are bemused. I just think it is attention seeking or just trying to fit in with peers.

    Jobbies in my veg bed :|  The bare soil is now covered in a heap of bramble, mahonia and gooseberry prunings. I hope the mangy animal takes the hint. I forgot to sow the winter green manure seeds this year annoyingly.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
