A right now thread

The Devonions are right, after all they invented the pastie too.

Ours not looking so pretty - half drained and few slabs lifted. Got to fully drain next week ready for the boys to cut in 2 new inlets, lift about 25% of the slabs and replace the buried pipework

Nice, I have garden envy.
I don't have a long stretch of lawn like that, I'd struggle to fit a cricket pitch on ours, then it goes into a wild rockery area that someone else built with monster rocks that would take a crane to get rid of.

My grandparents had a couple of tennis courts and a long lawn, it always brings back good memories to see a decent long lawn.

Time to go old school, hammer, chisel and feathers. Then wheel barrow it away.

Ooooooooo Fight!!

Sitting in the Land Rover customer area drinking their coffee and resisting their cakes…

Yakking with the service receptionist I said how’s things? She said really busy!

Seeing one up close for the first time. Lovely looking convertible!!

Always thought these looked like a big Suzuki Vitara until I saw one up close. Very purposeful looking vehicle.

Is that a 'long way round' pannier glued on the back?

Not actually sure what they are? There’s a young couple looking at it now and they can only be late 30s or early 30s? That spec defender is the best part of £100k!

So far I’ve had a white coffee, cappuccino and a macchiato! Probably not the best idea for someone suffering from insomnia at the moment!

It's not about how much it costs to buy, it's all about the monthly payment on the PCP.

That's why every man and his dog on council estates are driving C class mercs.

Ahh hadn’t thought of that! Still not sure I’d want those kind of payments though!

I just built an £80k one on the website...

For 5k deposit I could have it for 5 years at only £1185.74 a month.

Final payment only £40k... Not that you would, you'd enter into another PCP deal on a new one.

Personally I'd never do this, but plenty do.

I've just booked the SL in for an 'A' service... £135.

That's £500 cheaper than the last 'B' service

It's part of the 'improved aerodynamics' pack.

In the same category as "polishing a turd"

What's that line about not owning anything and being happy?

I believe it covers the ladder, which can be deployed to access the roof ...

Sitting here herding all my courage together to go across the road to a bar that is showing the rugby tonight. It's not somewhere I normally go and is very local. I really don't go there on my own unless I know friends are there or arriving!! LOL

Luckily I did check and a french friend is also going to watch the match, so at least there'll be one friendly face

You're going to support the country that made your motorcycle, right?

I always thought most of the alternatives were worse actually. Own nothing and be unhappy, own lots and be unhappy.

I suppose 'own lots and be happy' would be but it doesn't always seem to work like that.
