    Christmas is coming late - been given an estimated delivery date for the new mota of 31 December :( Wanted to go hooning around during my Xmas hols.

    To top it off Stropteen has announced she want to learn to drive. No doubt the request for some dinky sized bland-mobile can't be too far in the future now.

    Ho hum.

    i'm going to have a bottle of Corona and pretend i'm in a 1990s nightclub.

    Go back to the mirror and watch your t shirt change colour when you sweat.

    Lime jammed in the neck of the bottle? Or was that the other beer?

    thats the baby. Sol or Corona and lime and crank up the Happy Mondays/Stone Roses.

    Do you know I had never thought of that, when jane gets home from work I will mention that to her
    Thanks thistle

    no need - I'll ask MF to pass on the message before she leaves.

    she said it was fine.

    Maybe she heard about the new car and wants to have a go.
    Or hoping that she could have your old one.

    Don't think that's going to happen. Getting a 17 yo insured on anything with 4 wheels is probably more expensive than getting insurance on a hotel in Damascus so I'm keeping quiet and hoping she changes her mind. The only upside would be less Dad's taxi work.

    She's got a scooter. And a kids bike in the garage which would do as a pub bike.

    That ^ is half way to being a Tuk tuk. All you need is a motor.
    Just hang about in Bromley high street and wait for the first pensioner on his electric scooter, drag him/her off and hey presto - all the bits you need.

    It's hard enough trying to get her to move around under her own steam as it is. I keep telling her about this wonderful mobility invention called 'legs'.

    On a side note, I was waiting to use a fuel pump today and some fat bloke on a mobility scooter tried to do some sort of weirdly aggressive u-turn/drift type thing coming out of a shop and all his groceries went everywhere. Nothing more tragic than watching a grossly fat man crawling around on his hands and knees picking up bags of crisps. Very amusing. Obviously I would have helped but I was too busy accruing bad karma to transmit to my friend who seems to receive it...

    Top tip - Wear gloves whilst dismantling the mobility scooter as it may have had some wee on it at some point.
