Very patriotic, I've heard of everybody sitting down for the speech on Christmas Day but this is a bit OTT. :D :D

Besides I normally prefer something from this century. :wink:

You seem to know rather a lot about Benidorm.... but you're wrong. Does this view help at all? :wink:

Geoff,
It's bad enough to have a wee in the pool, but to do it while standing on the patio is in poor taste, and then to photograph the act and post it online is just ace. Good man, Geoff, I'm proud of you, man.

Teasing aside, a couple of years ago, 150 mph + on the A3 autobahn to Frankfurt in an Alfa GTV 3.0 V6 listening to this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBjQ9tuuTJQ

The Alfa V6 sounds amazing at speed but the Foo Fighters, Pretender is something else. Almost enough to tempt this atheist to almost believe in something. Probably a V8 or V6. Dave Grohl comes pretty close though.

Ahh, that DRE. Funnily enough my Dr and I discussed that just the other day and decided, to our mutual relief, to forego the experience for the moment, however, I suspect the day will come, alas.

Now, pubs, that a much better conversation. And when we do can we, please, sort out my Aldi cable :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

Ah well, you get my drift! But I have, as it happens, mowed the lawns this morning!
