Don't be silly.

Unlike that other poster I don't lie, I can back up everything I have said. if you want to lay 100 pounds down on say, pay-pal I'll match it and if you prove me wrong then you keep the money, of course it will work the other way around. So money where your big mouth is.

Don't > be silly. I don't really GAF if, as you claim, HGV drivers earn more than me. I do know that, in order for them to do this, they have to do shite jobs and put in lots of unsociable hours. Whereas I do what I want when I want within a very loose set of guidelines. -- SteveH 'You're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo' www.italiancar.co.uk - Honda VFR800 - Hongdou GY200 - Alfa 75 TSpark Alfa 156 TSpark - B6 Passat 2.0TDI SE - COSOC KOTL BOTAFOT #87 - BOTAFOF #18 - MRO # - UKRMSBC #7 - Apostle #2 - YTC #

There are many reasons why I chose to fly over, none of which are to do with my ability to ride 600 miles in 2 days on a bike. -- SteveH 'You're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo' www.italiancar.co.uk - Honda VFR800 - Hongdou GY200 - Alfa 75 TSpark Alfa 156 TSpark - B6 Passat 2.0TDI SE - COSOC KOTL BOTAFOT #87 - BOTAFOF #18 - MRO # - UKRMSBC #7 - Apostle #2 - YTC # |
