edited August 2013 in The cake stop
received a letter today from joa lau ping an investment banker who had been acting as a money guide for my late uncle william( I knew he'd hit the big time) , now uncle bill is dead & I may be a in for a share of his £20 million stash. I have to keep quiet about this as the chinese govt. may want a share, now my question is twofold which superbike do I buy & where is the best place to buy to buy a sunshine villa.Mr. ping hasn't asked for any money yet so he must be genuine, what do you think????????????????

    Whoa there fella. This may well be a scam. It's quite common for people to pose as executors to a will and then ask for money to 'progress the legal side' only to disappear with your money. It's scandalous.

    If you want, I can see if he's legit or not. Just send me £1000 and forward me the email and I'll check him out and get back to you. If he is, it might be sensible to pay any funds through me to make sure everything is above board.

    French Riviera sounds like a good place for your investment, maybe buy it in Bo Xilai's name 'cos he won't remember he bought it anyway...

    "(Reuters) - Fallen Chinese politician Bo Xilai called his wife insane on Friday after she testified at his landmark trial that he knew of money and a villa in the French Riviera that prosecutors say were given to the couple by a businessman friend."

    Swap you for Mrs Jane Sinclair a recent widow aged 27 who has seen my profile online and can see that I am a man of dignity, she would very much like to be part of my life. A photo was attached to the email but I would get banned for posting it.

    Yup, that's ugly. Those huge vents at the front don't look very aerodynamic.

    The playing mantis, your quite right, its the putting green at 18.

    As for the looks, to me this is a thing of beauty.

    For the aerodynamics, ever looked at one of the F1 front ends ?
    This hits 0-100kph in 2.65s and cracks 245mph, maybe not up to mondeo speed but I can live with that.

    Seems like something people would have thought looked cool in the 80's. I don't doubt it's performance though

    TBH just need some time free, im travelling a lot of late (hence sporadic use here) and also not having had the works completed at home. It may well turn into a winter event.

    If you still need work doing on VTech towers, perhaps we could all pop round and help, sort of like the Amish do, raising a barn? We could all descend on Warwickshire on our bikes. We could perhaps start a BR 'build your own' co-operative?
