Petrol less than £1 a gallon!!!!!!

yeah, but I need him to give me a lift to the NEC in November...

 

I've normally finished my morning's work by 09.24. I'm mostly having
Very Long Lunches.

 

Gosh! you wear designer suits? I'm terribly impressed.

 

antonye :

Yers. It's entirely possible that each 12 carriage train was stuffed
with youngish Sun readers wearing ill fitting and cheap looking Armani
suits that I mistook for M&S under 150 range, plus [...] Mail [...],
as I didn't actually examine any labels.

 

I'm sorry but you've mistaken me for someone
that gives a **** what you think.

 

I didn't, and nice cliche; did you learn it all by yourself?

Just awfully impressed by the way you use every opportunity to impress
everyone with how much money you earn.

 

Really, you don't feel that people look at you and think "twat"?

 

Speaking semi-professionally, you ought to check out the little two- or
three-word headlines above the Sun's NIBs (News In Brief items).

Almost every one is a little gem. Seriously. Decent sub-editors (and the
Sun has them) earn a fortune.

(Doesn't stop the rest of the paper bing a load of crap, but hell,
three-point-five million sales per day suggest that if you want a crank
on what a sizeable chunk of the population thinks and does, the Sun is a
good pointer)

 

I suspect he's used to that.

 

The Older Gentleman :

"Nice jugs" ?

 

well, he rides a Ducati 748 and drives a BMW 3-series, so it's
"possible".

 

*And* he takes 30 minutes to read the Sun..

Unless it's an M3 its a case of Oh Deary Me.

 

I dunno, I had a go in a brand new 330 Ci Coupe last night and it's a
very very nice car.

 

No more than usual.

I take it you don't commute daily on a train and therefore
have no idea what the majority of other commuters read?

 

Overpriced. Not that fast. Chronic shortage of rear room. Not as well put
together as the price might suggest. Ridiculous accessory prices. Not for
White Men.
BMW's start with the 5 Series and if leather ain't standard it's pants.

 

Granted, but it's a BMQ, they're all over-priced.

Quick enough given you'll get stuck in the same traffic jam as
everyone else.

It's a coupe! It's not supposed to have loads of rear room.

I thought it was good. Better than just about every other car I've
been in.

Yeah, but why not eh?

My Dad (who the Coupe belongs to) used to have a 52x[1] and I think
the 3 is a nicer car. Not a tank like the 5 and handles vastly
better.



[1] 3, I think, might have been 5.

 

Coming from the /man/ who owns a "Jeep", I'd /just/ like to
say "Thanks". Or is /that/ "neg" ??

 

I have the pleasure of travelling on commuter trains and have a *very*
good idea what the punters read.

Based on my very unscientific research:

Btn - London Bridge - Telegraph, FT, Mail,
Sun/Mirror (depends on headline)
Btn - Vic - Guardian, Independent, Telegraph, Mail
Sun/Mirror (depends on headline)
Coastways - Sun, Mirror, Mail

I still read the 'Star'

 

I don't "own" a jeep - it's Angie's. I just drive it.
