*massages Terri's blue extremeties*

Rich!

So, let's get this straight, you're going to spend the £100 on a new car for Elaine?

...following which he'll drive it to The Gambia and auction it off.

Oh you tease!

I can just imagine Elaine sitting there, très zennitude saying:

"Yeah, yeah Rich. Whatever. Go find your inner child. Just come back in one easily mendable piece. And try & get an Insurance company. Not being negative dear, just realistic."

I like Elaine already

Bum. He can come... in 2010 - ish. So no 'new' car for Elaine, no...

The moral of this story is to never get your hopes up

to hear that, Rich.
On the other hand, speaking as a mother with children, I do admire Paff's decision from a few posts before. So if this doesn't work out, it may not be too bad after all?

I said as much in post 37

I'm like an addict though - just one more big trip, pleeease

How about:

"Torquay to Terri's place on twenty quid"?

...and with a fridge in tow.

Now *there's* a challenge. Anyone can go somewhere with nothing, but to get somewhere with a fridge...

Double dare?

Tony Hawks (no not that one, the other one) went round Ireland with a fridge a while ago:

"no not that one, the other one"

I must be the only one in the world who thinks that that Tony Hawks is *the* Tony Hawks.

The Tony Hawks no doubt is certain he is that Tony Hawks, not the other one.

Tony explains the confusion very well:

The pages and pages of skate emails you can read by following the blue link are hilarious for hours and hours...

I love Tony Hawks.

He's a very funny bloke Crap skateboarder, though.

I can't decide which is my favourite of his books. Love him on tv too.

I'd have to say One Hit Wonderland, as it's the one I've read
