Alfie Patten has joined the 'Fathers for Justice' Group already. When asked why, the 13 year old father-of-one replied "Well, it made sense, as I've already got the Superman outfit"

Dropped the car in last Monday at a little place just round the corner from me - C B Restoration - and picked it up Saturday morning. They've done a great job - new front wing, passenger door and mirror - respray along nearside. Wouldn't hestiate to recommend them if anyone in this neck of the woods needs anything doing - nice people as well - one of the guys drives a Skyline and his brother trackdays a Renault - is it the Clio or Megane with the wide rear end and engine instead of back seats? Nice to have the car back - was getting fed up with the courtesy car, a Toyota Auris although it was a diesel and provided cheap transport into work so suppose shouldn't complain too much.

A few. . . . Leebo parked on driveway Sunday - surprised he wasn't out washing it, such a nice day Blue classic, gold wheels in Asda Greenhithe car park yesterday evening about 6.30. Black newage top end of Welling Way yesterday midday and again about 7pm - too far away to wave. T** SUB, although cannot remember where Red classic wagon in Welling this morning - got a wave.

The seller is also selling parts off a Grananda Scorpio 2.9 Ultima . . . .hmmm, I wonder? Used to have a D reg 2.9 and it does bear a resemblance. What prize you putting up for correct guess Hugh?

Just found this. . . . www.barryboys.co.uk Damn, why won't this link work again?

Young Irish girl is pregnant and has been experiencing pains for a few days. Finally her waters break and she's all alone indoors so thinks it best to call her mum, back in Ireland , for advice. "Mum, its me and I tink me waters be broken. . . " "Oh, be jaysus, tats good news. Tell me, are you by yourself?" "Sure to be sure I am that mum, tats why I taut I'd best be calling you for advice, you be having had 10 children 'n all, to be sure" "Tell me my luvly, where you ringing from?" "Right now Mum I be ringing from my minge right down to my fooking toes!"

I'll be leaving work around 6.30 in the morning so will let you know what the roads are like I won't be driving thankfully, its my colleagues turn

Now I know

This weathers been predicted for days - why does this country stop when we've had snow? Tanias sister lives in Switzerland and they've been under 2ft of snow now for weeks - her hisband still gets up, drives to the station in the village and jumps on the train to Bern as if nothings happened. . . . I'm on a bus route so had a gritter go past yesterday morning and early evening . . . . and then the buses decide to take the day off I'm due in work at 6.30 tonight , fortunately I car share and it's not my turn to drive - unfortunately my colleague drives a Suzuki Ignis 4grip - still, saves taking mine out and risking further damage I suppose

I had my00 classic remapped by Bob Rawle couple of years ago - are the 98s different?

Husband asked his wife what she'd like for their forthcoming anniversary. "Something shiny, that'll go from 0 - 150 in around 3 seconds" He bought her some bathroom scales It was early morning and Joe thought he'd get up and go fishing. He quietly left the bed, washed and dressed without waking his wife, went downstairs had a bite to eat, made a flask of tea and some sandwiches. Very quietly he left the house and went out to the car. It was an absolutely dreadful day, very cold and pouring with rain so he thought he'd sit in the car for a while to see if it cleared up. After a while, the weather forecast came on and it was clear there was going to be no let up in the weather so he decided to call it a day and go back indoors. Very quietly he locked the car up, shut the garage and went back indoors. He stripped off and slipped back into bed next to his wife. "It's absolutely dreadful out there. . . pouring with rain" "Yes" she said ". . . and can you believe that my ol'man's gone fishing in it"

. . . and your point is Rachel? I'm just glad that Tania doesn't want to drive over here else she'd no doubt agree with you

. . . . but then there's people like me Dean who haven't the first idea beyond the fact that it looked vaguely like a clutch assembly

Looks very interesting - if I only knew what it was

Spoke to the garage today who confirmed their estimate of £828 was for labour £648 and materials £180 - paint, glue, nails. . . Doesn't include any parts and was assured they'd always used proper pukka bits as far as possible.

Could get the garage to do mine when they deal with the accident repair

Had a quick look at this and there seemed to be a case that they couldn't enforce it - they were threatening people who then paid up - might pay to have a closer look before parting with your pennies

Have a look at http://forums.pepipoo.com/lofiversion/index.php/t27200.html before you pay anything

Was this for loitering at the Tea Hut in which case how do they know the amount of time that anyone spends parked up? I've heard before that MacD's dosh out fines for anyone that hangs about - intended to stop all-day parking I think

Assumed they'd be original parts - have left message and asked them to let me know. Would it really make a great deal of difference? Suppose though that as the insurance are picking up the tab I should insist on proper parts

Couple doing their weekly shop during the credit crunch and he picks up a case of Stella. "What d'you think you're doing, we're can't afford them at the moment" she says. "But they're on special, only £10 for 24 cans dear" he whimpers. . . she scowls and he puts them back on the shelf. Bit later she picks up a £20 jar of beauty cream. "Hey, what you doing?" he says. "It makes my face look beautiful" she replies. "But so does 24 cans of Stella and its only half the f**king price!" Was in Tesco yesterday and woman in front of me at the checkout dropped dead. . . . shame really, she'd just bought a bag-for-life. What a waste

Ah, Rachel Apologies if one of the locals was me I'll wave next time I see you. There are however a few scoobies in the Welling area that totally blank me - there's a fully stickered newage I've seen so many times on Welling Way and they have that really snotty "we're better than you" look on their faces - don't even acknowledge them nowadays

Will email the company that sold them and see what they say - will get back to you - still wonder if perhaps clears might look nicer?

Is there anything that can replace those horrible orange plastic bits on the front bumper of my00 classic, or do they serve a purpose? Wondered about a strip of leds that could be perhaps run off the sidelights (bit like the audis) or would they be illegal and fall foul of the mot?
