My dream car is a Saab convertible.

I love them.

Saw one today specced up to the nines.

20k though.
I had the lime yellow one for a couple of years. Probably my favourite car. Only the base model but I enjoyed the fuck out of that car.

It was only a HP type thing, I gave it back after two years, it was delivered to my office brand spankers andI managed to get to Tesco petrol station but had no idea how anything worked and could barely reach the pedals...I have fucklong legs and always have to put the seat back so I was worried silly I'd picked a car that wasn't going to work at all for me.

No sadly.

I think vw bought the company and makes Skoda's there now.

For shame.
There isn't quite the stigma attached to Skodas now though is there?

This is the model I had. I loved it after I worked out the seat adjustment.

Keeping hold of the Mini for the time being till I get myself situated job wise again.

Hahahaha poor Lynne! Fuck me, Alan Partridge was so damned funny. I'm noo fond of him as a person, but that character was gold.

I've been reminded and recounted a bunch of IT Crowd stuff lately.

Just had a friend request on Facebook from an old customer I took to The Duke of Edinburgh Awards to meet Prince Philip. Feeling all nostalgic warm and fuzzy.
Further to this, I knew him from the UK, he and I lost touch but he lived in fucking Reston Virginia while I lived a couple of miles from him.
SensoriaUtopia @SensoriaUtopia is still there.
Small damned world.
