Hang on a minute! Are we talking a replacement for the beige Volvo?????

Andy has just been spotted . . .

 

Could be......it does actually match a table I remember seeing in a photo of him in his living room working on a laptop with a cat next to him (PET thread post).

Hope it isn't the new Jag F-type SVR! Know someone who's just ordered one for about £125k.....he reckoned there is only 1 other in the country right now, would be gutted if another appeared!

Trace all the earth (-) wires in the engine bay including the battery, remove and clean all the contact surfaces and bolt them back up, should cure the problem,, earth contact corrosion is one of the major causes of electrical problems on most modern cars.

.....or, go back to the MOT garage and ask them to explain?!

Haha okay. Yes, it's probably a bit easier for me as I can get away with just keeping a few kettle bells & dumb bells at home lol

Cheers, much appreciated. Getting on with life!

Relationship problems, extreme stress, over-excising to numb the pain, combined with a bad cold works wonders for weight loss! Can finally see that 6-pack I was hiding lol

I think joining 2 gyms is a bit crazy Gareth! Would it not work out cheaper in the long run to buy yourself a decent set of free weights?

Rabbitstew, everyone puts on weight during the holiday! You'll get back into it in no time, don't be so hard on yourself!

OV54 *** passed you as you were just coming into Pangbourne. You gave me a complete....BLANK

Cheers mate!

What are you having done?

 

Well, I'm converting the dining room into a snug, all shiney chrome and black gloss with red leather Le Corbusier chairs

 

 

a couple of glass and chrome Eilleen Gray side tables and a big TV, all on a new black carpet

then ... the lounge gets done and I've succumbed to wifey's wishes for a flame effect fire in a hole in the wall with RGB LED backlighting on a cream carpet ... and all very down with the kids

Cool We're starting on a snug/cinema/games/gym room next.....apparently it's going to be difficult says OH. I try not to get involved beyond holding something extremely heavy above my head for hours on end while he selects the correct tool and hunts around on the floor for lost screws!

Gym's are open today in Reading! Shops/pharmacists open as well....very multi-cultural around here, so always somewhere open. Hide your remote....you watch too much TV!

I did play a game of dodge the hailstones on this morning's run though

Hope you get your dental problem sorted

I believe only beautiful people should be allowed to create offspring!

What are you having done?

Drinking.

 

Lots of it.

And daydreaming about holding his very own cutesy little baby-waby lol

I give you 2 weeks before getting pulled over by the rozzers.

Really? Do they not have better things to do? Catch crooks & villains...or am I getting confused with Batman!

Edit: if anyone comes across a good reg plate for me, let me know! OH tried to get me one last year but couldn't find anything suitable

Flying to Dubai....the weather will be better there!

Nice

Someone's voted that it's selfish not to have them! Shame on you

My money's on Dan!

He's trying to convince us he doesn't like babies, but I can just tell he's one of those men that goes all gooey when he's handed his first-born baby girl. We'll have to suffer endless threads about how the baby did its first burp today and it's first solid poo! She'll be his little princess and he'll go round baby-proofing the world for her. Bless him

Hey folks

Been really nice chatting to you all for the past couple of years but I feel it's time to move on to another forum!

Good bye & good luck

KK

 

You'll be back!!

No I won't!!!

Well, not until the kids go back to school and I need some adult conversations again lol

Maybe it's a girl thing then! I have long thin fingers....the paddles seemed to be in the perfect place for me.

Bugger....better keep saving then!

Always loved the GT-R but no, wouldn't get that colour option!

Have they changed the paddles then? As I found them great on the previous model....

With the launch of this, do we see current secondhand prices dropping significantly??

FFS......didn't I say this would happen! You let them have a PET thread, next thing a blimin' thread about kids. C'mon, I come on here to escape the real world.

 

Anyone posts a baby photo and I'm leaving for good!!!!!

You bloody started this thread!!!!!

We need another topic for rabbitstew's situation!!!

 

I feel like offering to go round and help him out!

Rabbitstew needs a big bloody hug for sure! Think we should all take him out for the night.....he must be at breaking point!

Kids are good and bad.

 

Initially its hard work. You get up every 2 hours in the night to change a screaming babies nappy & feed them when they are a baby so you have hardly any sleep then have to go to work the next day. 50% of the time after feeding they will they chuck their guts up over you. Then when they arnt doing any of that they just sleep - so it gives you plenty of time to get on with jobs around the house or just pass out with exhaustion.

 

You will face the most horrendous poo & sick ever and it goes everywhere.

 

Then, once they get about 12->18 months old it all changes. Sure they still create horrendous poo`s and occasionally sick everywhere, but they become their own little characters so you do get something back and they start to become fun. When they start to talk it gets even better, but then you have the mad temper tantrums and screaming/shouting if they dont get their way etc so it kind of evens out.

 

As others have said, you cant go on holiday or out for a night with your mates or anything without either without getting permission from the other half that shes okay looking after the kid, or arranging babysitters. Mealtimes are out of the window as you just cant sit and eat with a kid, as they will throw food around and once finished will just want to run off and play. So you end up hoovering your dinner down as quick as can be ready to end up chasing after them in a pub/restaurant. If you do get a holiday, then you end up not being able to walk around far as kids get tired, plus when its 6pm the kid is off to bed and your stuck in your holiday room watching X Factor as you cant leave the kid alone & go for a drink.

 

When you do get a rare night alone, with the kid packed off to your folks for the night, you end up catching up on housework then so tired you just go to bed early.

 

Also, dont forget to factor in, once your missus gets knocked up that means no action ever again. Apparently you cant do it once pregnant "in case it hurts the baby", then once its here she wont be in the mood and/or too tired after a busy day watching telly/eating cakes/sleeping. Once all is recovered and baby is virtually off to school she still wont want to do it as she doesnt like how she looks after putting on 6 stone of "baby weight".

 

Someone else mentioned the cost. I think I worked out it was £1500 a year just on baby formula, I dread to think how many thousands on clothes, toys. The nursery furniture alone must have cost £1200. Plus then you have £600 per child per month for a childkeeper/nursery. Thats more than my mortgage.

 

That all said, you do get to have some really fun moments with a kid and get to play with all their toys. It can help destress you and take your mind off all the bigger worries in life.

 

I really dont know though how people have more than 1. I struggle to cope looking after just one, so god knows how people cope with 4 or 5.

Are you a stand-up comedian....there's elements of Jack Dee in there
