Well my ticket arrived on wed, still have no car tho, i should get it back now on saturday just for the trip and then its back to the body shop cos they effed up a second time anyway you will see what I mean.
I think when I have to go on the ferry I might have to go on the lower deck with the lorries..............with the new springs in place the car is very low but it looks really aggressive................just what i wanted. _________________ PHAT 33 |

You must be getting a tad pissed with your bodyshop now Iain. Can't wait to see what's been done though. |

It probably isn't a bad investment at all. Alfie has been a popular boys name for the last 10 years, or maybe you could try and contact Alison Moyet

NorfolkLine seem to be a really good company. I'm impressed with their attitude and prices.

I'm impressed too Bob. Phoned them to let them know that there will be 2 of us in the car and they said no problem as long as there's no more than 4 travelling........no charge! |

Ive been busy too, picked up my car today, oil change general engine clean but still a fare bit of over spray to deal with, tomorrow a trip to halfrauds and part with shed load of cash on interior/exterior cleaning stuff and hopefully weather permitting a full day of arm and finger cramp. Joy. _________________ PHAT 33 |

Emailed the house owner and the deal is that they supply the pillows and duvets, but we're expected to bring a sheet for the mattress, pillow cover and duvet cover.
Failing to do this and sleeping on the matress directly or whatever will find me losing (at least some of) my deposit. As this is €375, can we try to bring the right stuff...?
Thanks.... BB _________________ Fiat Bravo 165 Sport |

Well, they do give a nice day but we all know how the met office works. Arse and elbow are two words that instantly spring to mind. |

So it does. What was I saying about arse and elbow?
Still, it's only Tuesday.......plenty of time for the met people to completely change their minds and back track several times. |
