  1. We have a call bar on our number, it requires any "number witheld" or "unknown number" or other commercial number to anoune themselves - they actually have to announce their name. If its someone cold calling, they have to speak, then we don't need to pick the call up. To be honest......we have some of our family do that too, we tell them its a 'feature'
  2. Answer is staring you right in the face. Spend £1500 on an 8-10 year old 1.8-2.0 litre Mondeo that's done about 60-70,000 miles. Keep the Zed + you have a cheap-ish 4 seater family wagon
  3. Remember meeting Martin as we arrived for our first Wales meet, must have been 2010. Such a friendly and welcoming man, we couldn't help but feel relaxed and in good company. A thoroughly lovely man and I'm shocked to hear this news. Always working tirelessly for the benefit of the club and members just because he loved doing it. Very sad indeed and my thoughts go out to Liz and family
  4. Very nice Dave, lovely looking MX-5. Hope Mary loves it, hope you're both well
  5. Glad to hear nothing is broken and there is no organ damage. Must have been very worrying indeed. I guess the next few weeks will be a lot of rest to let the bruising settle. Then a couple more to let thing ease. Wishing her all the very best for a recovery. No doubt you'll be doing all you can to make her as comfortable as possible
  6. Fletch - "I don't quite know how to put this, gentlemen, but there is a thief among us..." And Fletch - "Do you know who made our raspberry blamange last week? Riggs and he's in here for poisoning" Godber - "did he really?" Fletch - "Yeah he's a cause celeb in his home town Newcastle under Lyme, come to think of it most his relatives are under lyme now" Godber - "Is that why they call him arsenic Riggs?" Fletch - "oh no, that's because he once sat on a razor blade"
  7. Yep C55 AMG, tootling in to the office this morning. My joy at hitting 26.1mpg was quickly dashed though. As bit of fluff from the microfibre cloth I keep in my drivers door pocket landed on the 'Moo pedal' and the mpg plummeted in to the teens
  8. Had a nice looking black 350Z follow me along Wharf Road, just off J16 of the M4 and on to Mill Lane, before you turned off in to Waitrose. I was tootling along in the Merc in front of you. Very nice looking Zed and apologies for the leisurely pace, I was attemping to hit my highest ever average mpg figure. I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I managed to hit at 26.1mpg
  9. Hope you've had a great day Steve and an even better evening, happy birthday!
  10. Whatever occurred, whoever did (or didn't) drive dangerously, whether there is cause, fault or blame to be assigned. Let's just try and remember one thing and that's that three people are dead. That is sad, whatever any investigation reveals.
  11. We were at the Ireland v Canada in Cardiff, great atmosphere and a terrific result. Canada deserved a bit more to be fair, but a top result for the boys in green. Off to watch the Argentina v New Zealand match now. Just waiting for the train to arrive, then off we go. Looking forward to a great match
  12. As theologian and Lutheran pastor Friedrich Gustav Emil Martin Niemöller said "First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me." If we ignore the plight of our fellow man / woman / child. How human can we really consider ourselves? "First the refugee's from Syria drowned, and I did not offer help, for I was not from Syria...." I'm in the process of collecting / sourcing goods and aid for a small charity for those in need. That's what I'm doing to help my fellow man / women / children.
  13. Love the baby Aston, but it would have to be the Maserati for me, having weighed up the two myself recently.
  14. Agreed, sounds likely to me
  15. Been playing world of tanks on Xbox one. Quite enjoyable to be fair. Been intrigued by "everybody's gone to rapture" so please let me know how you're getting on bockaaarck Looks stunning but not sure about the gameplay. Sorry for the slow response Fodder. It's indeed an intriguing game. Its not quite like anything I've played before. It's a slow, engrossing, developing game. It's also quite unsettling in some respects. I think you have to be willing to let the game provide you with the information and experience as and when it / you're ready. If I was to try and compare it to anything, it's tricky. It's almost like a point n click type adventure feel, but more like a story. It's unusual and different, but slow and steadily developing. I enjoyed it, it's almost more of an 'experience' than a game
  16. Brilliant Adrian, GTR looks amazing, sounds like you got the right one.
  17. Jaguar XF 3 litre V6 Diesel approx £500 a month over 48 months http://www.hippoleasing.co.uk/personal-lease-cars/jaguar/xf-saloon/xf-diesel-saloon-30d-v6-r-sport-4dr-auto-start-stop-30307817 Sure if you look around you could find one with a higher mileage allowance
  18. Jez, Craig and Dan. Thanks for all the work you carried out on my Zed yesterday. She feels terrific, definitely more planted, and the brakes are really solid, the gearbox feels terrific. Thanks again guys.
  19. Looks fantastic, got yourself a real beauty there
  20. Chris, you're insane in the brain (insane in the membrane)! I love it, that's a top trade in
  21. Sounds like you had a blast Chris, a great day all round by the looks of it
