Good heavens, a manual black saloon: has Hell just frozen
over when the clocks changed to British Winter Time
(AKA Generally Miserable Time)? I see dark days ahead... :?

Ahh, but spring is just around the corner Andrew ;)

We just need to get that absurd, preposterous and ridiculous piece of silliness I believe is called Christmas out of the way and then spring is but a mere swallow's flight away...

As Mr. Python reminds us - Always Look on the Bright Side of Life

And not the bloody dark and miserable side :lol: :lol:

Yep, I make no apologies; I'm a glass half full sort of person most of the time although I have my moments when the black dog* comes to visit although his visits are fairly infrequent these days...


* How Winston Churchill described his dark days...

OK, I do tend to try looking at the brighter side of things as I far prefer sunshine and it isn't too easy
living in the officially wettest city in the UK. :-( It's difficult being positive all the time when this very
second it's a monsoon outside and I'm about to get myself and the dogs totally soaked walking them
before work, beach or no beach. I don't want to keep wishing my life away willing the cold dark and
miserable days to pass ASAP!

And here's me thinking of moving to Wales as well - and from one of the driest parts of the UK as well. Mind you, wehen it does rain here it does do quite well...

Still, you think it's bad for you Andrew. Spare a thought for poor Rob McKenna :lol: *

ha ha, try moving to Ireland! Having said that, October has been really very good to us.
I would push my 'Like' button if I could, to both of you. And I'll reward you with my first XM mile stone. I hope it is visible for all and please ignore, the highly annoying ABS light (rarely comes on in a XM :roll: ) but feel free to come over and help me sort it ;)

Some scoundrel has nicked your oil level gauge Jaap :roll:

Oh, and great on the 100K :D

Typical of the ABS light to get in on the act and spoil the fun :twisted:
