Star Ferry is good for a little ride across the harbour at night. Good biscuits from the street stall on the way in.

Shreddies? Pants?

Correct

Can't for the life of me remember why!

<edit>

I have nasty memories of Aertex surfacing from whence they have long, and rightly, been buried. That was it, wasn't it :(

Morning all and Friday it is.
Not heard that for a long time Andy K.
Glad your feeling a bit better Newton.
Take care all.

Me neither Phil...Just here and it popped into my head as I was typing....

Good morning all.....Wind and rain terrible this morning so hope my boys football is cancelled. Off to look at an Mercedes E350 Coupe that has popped up a local garage that could replace my C class as my daily drive.

Morning, all. Andy, classy choice. Diesel or petrol? I used to have a 350CDi. Trundled along lovely and picked up its skirts and scarpered if you asked it. Great engine, but I always wished I'd got the petrol.

No sign of my bag so I've been shopping for the bare necessities. And now I realise I need a new bag to keep my new clothes in. Honestly, this city is batshit crazy with its prices. To soothe my soul I took the ferry across to the island, walked up through the botanic gardens and am now having a beer in the mid-levels. There's a nice Aventador Spyder parked outside. Sounds the absolute bollox.

Diesel Adam.....With me doing 25 to 30k a year it makes sense.

Didn't realise I did so much driving last year in my own cars and hire cars but Google claims this is what I did.Screenshot_20200111223556.png

Morning. Teaching this morning, then Mrs C wants to go for a run(!)

Possibly cinema this afternoon. Not sure I can summon up the enthusiasm to see the latest Star Wars

Morning,
Out cycling for me, in rain by looks of forecast and sky,
C, my son wasn’t overly impressed and he’s a Star Wars nut,
He’s off to see that 1913/16 or whatever today.....
Have a good day all.

Part 2 was done too, a quick blast down the lanes across to the coast. followed that for a wile before cutting back inland - forgot how good the SZ can be on the twisty bits but can never forget that Busso howl

No photos was having too much fun

I was having a nosey round one in the summer, is the inside of your boot just a mess of wiring and rough finished bodywork or is there proper trim?

Best Auto Jumble I have ever been too in Nantes and some great driving on perfect National roads.
Had some fun dicing with a Renault 5 Turbo to Rennes.
Best Sunday this year so far.

Sounds like a great way to spend a Sunday, Phil. I'm so pleased you're new adventure in France is working out so well. You're an inspiration, mate, the way you throw yourself into stuff.

Morning, world of SM. Up and at 'em today - a morning of customer meetings, then lunch and then off to the airport to head down to KL. Still no sign of my bag, which went missing in action on Friday / Saturday. According to the airline website the case is closed (no pun intended, I assume...). Perhaps they delivered it to the hotel overnight. I certainly don't have it. Be handy if they did. My socks are getting frisky and I could grow tomatoes in my pants.

In other news, that Julia Chatterly on CNN is fabulous.

Have a great week, everyone
