Every day is a MLC, you’ll be driving a V8 soon enough, with 4 seats    Enjoy yer new toy 

HNew Mach 1

Epic sounding 

*it’s*

Great car, much better than a 350, in so many ways.  Awaits the usual suspects........

I’ve had the front wings, bonnet, whole front bumper done recently, £2K.  A whole car?, expect £5k.

Pick your shop wisely, one that will pay attention to detail.

Good luck 

So, wasn’t far off with my price guesstimate, 2 trims available for U.K. market, starting at £81,700

Wheel bearings 

I’ll have a sniff around when the order book opens, mibees they’ll do a Champions League type launch .  Stang stays tho, more fun than a funnery 

Been toying with a MX5 for ages, bit this might meet the need for another 2 seater

Might gie it a go

Grab a bargain 

Just been watching the complete covidiots that have been travelling 50+ miles to, essentially, go for a walk and, “feed the ducks”.

Without cognisance to where they are going to sh1t or p1ss, as most, if not all, public conveniences are closed, unable to wash their hands, without face coverings and with little thought to the communities where they are going.  

Ignorant bastarts at best, culpable knuts at worse.

Stay local ffs, don’t be a f’kin drain on resources, at best, or a spreader at the other end of the scale.  The level of selfishness is jaw dropping.

Was £200 paid separately? They tend to do the refunds in the manner and amounts that payments were made so not necessarily the full amount altogether in one lump sum. 

DFDS did this with my payments.  Deposit paid first followed by the balance a few days later.  Random and arbitrary amounts of money withheld is utterly unacceptable and should be accompanied by an explanation, so it can be challenged.

Rosie lost her battle for life on 21/04/20.  I’ve been too upset to update until now and can barely look at her photos without welling up.

There’s a big empty space in my life now, RIP Rosie x

Apparently there’s a need for more lerts.  We were told this last night from a man who can’t wear clothes properly, “be a lert”.........

I’d kill for a Bargain Bucket or some Chicken Nug Nugs though. 

Most of the oxygen thieves are literally dying for Nug Nugs though

They walk and are amongst us, allowed to breathe the same oxygen and stealing rations.....

Right, here is the advice and some useful information if you are lulled into a false sense of security by the stories about Tui.  Which? applied pressure to Tui and they EVENTUALLY changed their policy.

Have a read through the article and use the useful links to get THE BEST advice, as you’ll quickly find out not ALL tour operators or travel companies are reading off the same page.

You MAY be lucky if you are with Tui, that remains to be seen on re-scheduled holidays at a later date if you rebook and then decide against and want a refund.

Do not rely on a few refund stories by one operator!

Most are probably aware of this, I read it in last months Which? magazine and the general gist is that, if your holiday company/travel agent offer you a credit note that is ‘enhanced’ ie credit note plus, say 20% extra to spend on a holiday next year and, you agree to it, then later change your mind, you will be liable NOT to receive a refund of cash.  This is called an ‘incentivised’ deal, which my general interpretation is, it’s a new contract you are entering into. 

Just something to check up on before agreeing a credit note.

My own experience has been not too bad, DFDS ferries offered me a credit note, with 20% off any future sailing if booked by December and used by next June.  I contacted them to say no thanks, money back please.  I was refunded a week later.  The one thing I’m having trouble with is those bastarts at Ticketmaster, who have so far refused a refund on the 6hrs of Spa as it’s not been cancelled but postponed.  I will percivere on this one though.

I'm trying my best to catch them as close to stock as possible and hopefully sub £10k.

On top of all the other jobby we are all dealing with just now, we had to admit wee Rosie to the University of Glasgow small animal hospital yesterday evening @ 6 o’clock.  She’s unable to urinate and initial investigation shows a mass pressing on her urethra.  We are now waiting on the results of more detailed and conclusive tests.  It’s not looking good but I’ll never give up hope.

She’s comfortable and has a catheter in at the moment which has perked her up.  We will get, hopefully, Monday evening, clearer results without surgery, however an inconclusive result will put us in more of a quandary.  

Big shout out to Rosie, my best pal and a lovely wee creature    All prayers gratefully received  

Lets hope it’s good at ppe    You’re doing a fantastic job in near impossible  circumstances and the nation is behind you, willing you on.  Keep doing what you’re doing with ppe and keep safe.  

Theres not enough adequate words to describe how much you are appreciated.
