Popular Post DaveyT 244 Posted December 17, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 Finding out, having hit over 80 on twisting back roads during the driving demo, that my Esprit’s new owner is a traffic cop ...but he managed to do the same on the way back, so all good. they’re currently on their way to Lancashire, and apparently the plate 007 HEM belongs to the family and may well get transferred, so look out for it up there. Lovely guy who wants to spoil his kids without taking them out on a bike, and hopefully he’ll be joining TLF soon. All the best if you’re looking in Andy, and drive her like I always wanted to 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is how they've left it once they found the suspect tiles! Nice! ...................... Contents claim was settled last week in full. I made an official complaint to Legal and General and the full offer to settle was made the next morning! They asked if I'd like to close the complaint now that was done but I'm not willing to do that. I now also have an official complaint in against the buildings insurance company too. Too many delays with no good reasons. I'm very patient, but they've been incompetent and negligent in my opinion now. Well, thankfully not me, but my Niece's sister-in-law (or would be if married) were due to move a few days before Christmas. having sold their place in Kent, relocating to Norfolk, so had a rental place in Kent moving to rental in Norfolk while they look for the property to buy. The day they were due to move, the downstairs was flooded by the rain. So not just stuff that would normally be at /near floor height, but everything that was boxed / prepared, and not just stuff that would normally be on the ground floor. I suppose the good part is at least they don't have to deal with property damage, just contents. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Having been through similar recently ( 5.5 years ) all I can say is it gets better. Cliche as hell but just give it time. Go for a drive, meet up with friends. Buy the stuff you were holding back on.

Buy the stuff you were holding back on I'm just on 25 years married. 23 years longer than the first one lol. We've lasted so long because unlike the first one, the second one is happy for me to see my friends. Go out for drives and buy what I like when I like. I give her the same respect and freedom. End it.quickly if it's not working for either of you. It's the kindest thing to do for both of you. Another old cliche but the sea is full of fishes, the right one is out there. An even older cliche is life is just too short to be unhappy! Good luck. 2 Quote Alcohol. Sex. Tobacco. Drugs. Chocolate. Meh! NOTHING in this world is as addictive as an Evora +0.

RoflOnMyWaffle 309 Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 Left my brothers place in America today/yesterday. Been there since 30th of Nov, so it's sad to be back in the UK. Been awake 23 hours so far, got 10 left before I can sleep. Brutal, but fixes my sleeping pattern rapidly - assuming I don't pass out first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky 2,695 Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 Had it since Christmas Day, bloody filthy bug. The only thing that works is alcohol. It fights the symptoms, or reduces my propensity to give a toss. Either way's good. Quote British Ambassador to Florida, New York, Denmark and Newfoundland. And Sweden.

Sparky 2,695 Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 Bug update unhappiness levels at an all-time high. Incessant coughing has led to a cliche: I've literally bust a gut. Surgery a few years back required multiple incisions into the abdominal muscles. I've had a minor hernia for a while as a result, but it's tiny. Last night, however, during a particularly violent coughing fit, something definitely tore! A cough is now exquisite agony. Nothing's poking out yet, but time will tell. This is ridiculous; due to various unforeseen issues I've hardly touched a car for 4 months now. And I'm running out of Lego. Quote British Ambassador to Florida, New York, Denmark and Newfoundland.

Gold FFM C8RKH 5,724 Posted January 4 Gold FFM Report Share Posted January 4 Hope you're feeling better soon @Sparky. There's a cracking good new Lego kit available from Amazon. Order it now you'll get it later today! Lego Technik Landrover Defender. Even has an engine you can build and will probably be less hassle than an Esprit V8! Quote Alcohol. Sex. Tobacco. Drugs.

Sparky 2,695 Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 Cheers matey! Yes, I've seen that one. My mate's just bought it, so I might be cheeky and wait for him to build/strip and then borrow it.
