What cheered you up today?

[the lancaster kicks ass]

not bad going for one of the most developed nations in the world... remind me to introduce you to the exciting world of "silent" letters sometime, it's something americans seep to struggle with, believe it or not there're some letters in some words you're not supposed to pronounce

 

[Matt308]

Well I woke up this morning, got a letter saying ive got a work experience placement...Then I did a mind map for chemistry which is ****ing awesome, but the best bit...

I GOT MY CAR!

 

[Pisis]

Congrats on that, please don't kill urself in that Citroën...

 

[Henk]

...and a tipper is a forklift or bucket loader, Henk?

No mate sorry but it is not that, this is a tipper.

you don't call them tippers? what do you call them? lorries where the rear part of the body can tip up to dump off whatever's in there, i'll let henk describe in detail!

Yes lanc that is a tipper and that is what we call it here when the rear part of a truck, small truck and pick up can lift to dump sand or gravel. They come in many sizes. The one they will give me is a 6 ton tipper that would be used to get cement, sand and stone to supply the factory, since I have that largest license I can drive anything on the road except for a motorbike.

[the lancaster kicks ass]

where were you at the time?

having a nice chat with someone this morning........

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

haha, at the end of England's big defeat at the hands of NZ and just before the world cup next year, the ending music for the show was Fall Out Boy's Sugar We're going down swinging, and they kept repeating the "going down down in an earlier round" bit which i found quite ironic.........

 

[cheddar cheese]

You spoiled *******!
Congrats on that, please don't kill urself in that Citroën...

Spoiled?! I worked hard scabbing money from realtives to buy that
Im taking bets on how long before im killed though, my knees are jammed on the wheel and you have the turn the wheel a quarter way before it actually has any effect on the direction of travel

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Why did you buy such a lemon then?

 

[Erich]

well Kätie and I baked an Apfel Kuchen............oh man life is good !

 

[cheddar cheese]

Why did you buy such a lemon then?

Its not actually a lemon - One lady owner from new, 50,000 miles, condition wise its good as new. For a French car its astounding. Id be hard presed to get anything else as good for £700...Id still rather have a Mini or Triumph Herald though.

Unless.....

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

My 49ers going into half time with a respectable score for a change, leading the Minnesota Vikings 6-3.
