Now then, now then, now then!!!!!

All the cars gone to 5 heep 5 hagger land. They got stuffed. They got stuffed. They got stuffed.

Looking for an ST220 to strip, must b a 3l 5 speed box. Car needs to b still for three hours three hours three hours so we can do the job. No chance at Spurs Spurs, Spurs, they all start leaving after an hour. Might ask a Manchester crew to get me one get me one get me one. That wont take too long too long too long. Trouble is getting the car of the eleven year old before he 5 hags the engine. Need to get the car as far as Rutland when the time warp will erase all trace of the car.
I could have sworn my other mate in Rutland said there was a worm hole there- I must have heard him wrong!!! It must be the accent distortion as you pass into the other dimension.


D going to the pub now I've had a sleep and some garlic bread, GARLIC BREAD, GARLIC BREAD.

According to Jade goody I live in East Angular so at least I have got the East bit correct. I have also lived in the East Midlands, had carnal knowledge of a girl from Rutland- my other mates sister- and he still doesnt know!!!!! Tee Hee!!! and I know where the East Midlands is... Plus at the last count most of the peeps going to East Mids events are not strictly from the East Mids either. Confusing things even further I think youre all great, which is why you'll have to put up with me!!!!!! and anyone else who loves what we got. Oh! and by the way its Dave Eds' thread and he says anyone can join in.


Yes, I have been to the pub and had too many and I'll probably regret writing this in the morning, but it wont be the first time but at least with this I dont wake up with a rash!!!

Are you saying he posts it with a geordie :wink: accent and you find this a little hard to understand?
