Windscreen Scam
A 'heads up' for those men who may be regular M&S shoppers.
This one caught me by surprise. :oops:

Over the last month I became a victim of a clever scam while out shopping. Simply going out to get supplies has turned out to be quite traumatic. :roll:

Don't be naive enough to think it couldn't happen to you or your friends. :poke:

Here's how the scam works:

Two seriously good-looking 20-21 year-old girls come over to your car as you are packing your shopping into the boot. They both start wiping your windshield with a rag and Windex, with their breasts almost falling out of their skimpy T-shirts. It is impossible not to look. :wink:

When you thank them and offer them a tip, they say 'No' and instead ask you for a ride to McDonalds. You agree and they get in the backseat. On the way, they start undressing. Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and starts crawling all over you, while the other one steals your wallet. :evil:

I had my wallet stolen on June 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, & 24th 29th. Also July 1st, 4th, twice on the 8th, 16th, 23rd, 26th, 30th, three times last Saturday and very likely again this upcoming weekend.

So tell your friends to be careful.
P.S. Primark has wallets on sale £1.99 each :-D

Comical time yesterday on a film shoot and music video shoot yesterday. Was a Nazi guard in the 4th reich! 8) Really looking forward to the next shoot in December and seeing the final piece! Did have to miss my zombie film premier though which was a little gutting :cry:

Today I'm hoping to get out in an Esprit, if all goes to plan. Sad admittal that I don't think I've even been out in one yet! Best behaviour for the keys eh??! :wink: :roll:

Wow... Well the Esprit GT3 blew all my expectations. Show Room beautiful and so much more pretty and comfortable than I was expecting.

Was lucky enough to get a drive too and was also pleased with the comfort and ease of drive. Gear change took a little to get used to and the pedals are real close so no good for big shoes or Hobbit feet! :lol: Hope that won't be my last spin either and massive encouragement is required for a Le Mans or Nurburgring blip for sure. It's pampered but not sorned so gets used but is screaming for more road (or track) time! But that's just me I guess, can't leave good toys alone!

Oh, and some official pics have been released of the Nazi film:

Cor, you're lucky!

I cant afford an Aston Martin with the pittance that I'm owed for missold PPI insurance!

Perhaps i need to claim for the bodily injury i suffered at my last 42 accidents - that should add up to a bit - after all, 'where there's blaim, theres a claim'.
Dave

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it


...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

Just had a cracking 2 days on the Nazi filming!

Had my throat cut yesterday and today I got to be a Nazi beeatch (dunno why I got picked out for the part...) and beat up the lead actor! :-D :chair: :lol:

Seriously though, I really did have to hit him, hard and many times! Even I hurt a lot! And I got great praise and thanks for it! :bonk: Mwa ha ha haaarrr! :twisted:

Here is a quick snap of larking around in the 'common room'
