Noccy I always felt you were a fair age?? I'm totally wrong on this probably!

Well if you consider early-ish 20's a fair age, then right you are! Not long out of the nappies so I ain't.

You become more intolerant as you get older, least I have and having met pred who is even older...............................

Apparently not, given a thread he started in AH

@bp is your car really that gold colour and does the licence plate not look funny?

On my part delighted to have a car of my own again

I could have sworn you were older too...! No young lad would have a Golf TDI and keep it as clean as you did! She should have been lowered and straight piped! That'd have gotten some looks in Cark bai, they're mad for that stuff there, a lowered Golf would sit well outside Langtons as well lad!

On a completely unrelated note I had a delicious burger for dinner and toffee pudding for desert this evening, pudding was poor though, very dry and tasteless, washed down with an Italian Peroni though..!

Just looked at the picture again the car does actually look gold Christ it doesn't look like that in reality it is silver

That peroni is lovely stuff. Had a great night last summer with a box of it playing wingman.

Haha I'll have to go make up for it on this megane so. Cut springs, 20inch alloys, 'dci power' sun strip, tint the sh!t out of the windows, dark blue dips purple front fogs, cover it in offensive stickers, bonnet stripes, double exhaust out of rs250, r250 badge on the back, renault sport bucket seats inside.

Sure if that's not an extra 100bhp I don't know what was.

Also I was on a 21st birthday in langtons nightclub a few weekends ago Christ the place was full to the gills with hen party's some variety of themes the tennis players were my personal favourite. My house is literally a stones throw away from there you couldn't get anymore central if you tried.

What if you do it in English? Even if you have a sentence on a piece of paper it'll be difficult to pronounce it if you don't know the language.

Anyway, joujoujou is Polish, and I think someone else here was as well.

And a qualified Electricien who has since changed careers that would be fairly unlikely I don't know of any 12 yo first year apprentices :pac:

We have TY's in where I am too some in the labs some in maintenance with fitters and electricians they seem to get a handy week out of it. I was lucky to get into the busiest department in the place flat out but I suppose that helps pass the day would be terrible to be in on a 12 hour shift with nothing to do where as this way the day goes quickly.

I would have said you were 30 I don't know why for some reason I thought you were married obviously mixing you up with another poster.

Should we open a Motors guess the age thread? :pac:

I'm going to do a couple of sentences, nothing major. As I'm a language teacher I'm pretty certain I can master the pronunciation quickly. Then again it could all fall apart.

MetzgerMeister

Write it out phonetically and they won't know the difference.

Oh crikey. I'll have to start acting my age so. Wait till I go out and straight pipe that focus.

When I was in Spain 2 months ago some of the lads that spoke Spanish were teaching us the basics for going into a shop or whatever. Now I did French for my LC and wasn't even that good at it. But for some reason it all came back to me when I went into a shop so ended up putting a load of phrases together and saying them to the girl behind the counter in French she gave me the worst look and when everyone started pissing laughing I figured out my mistake.

Write them out, get someone to translate them and then try saying the toast to them and see how you get on.

If you ever need to give a Latvian toast, give me a call. :P

You're like me so. Like to keep busy. I'm covering an evening shift for this month and it is soul destroying. Working 2:30 to 11. As soon as everyone leaves at 4:30 its just me. Literally me on my own in a big empty factory making sure the few machines we have are running and that's about it. Very trusting managment seen as Im only there since January and now have keys and full access to the whole place. The bosses son pops in the odd time but hasn't since Monday. I feel like Milhouse when he was a night watchman in Bart's factory.

"First it started falling over. Then it fell over."

Actually did an aptitude on Monday for the same job as my last one (orthopaedics) but in a different company. Fingers crossed. I NEED MONEY!

Best of luck with the interview for the new job SG it's a two shift rotation where I work so 7-7 im on days all the time as I'm on placement they wouldn't put me too much into the deep end. But our plant would run the exact same at night as during the day there is effectively no downtime for equipment at the moment only for CIP (clean in place) and the odd bit of maintenance. Sure the weeks are flying by im over 1/4 of the way through my placement and it still feels like I'm just starting.

In other news my dad put a tow bar on the golf. He knew I was dead against them and that Id try and talk Him out of one so he just went of got one fitted it himself and never told me until after. Infairness it's a very neat job. But I never understand his obsession with tow bars he was trying to put one on the octavia too at one stage. The octavia is still in getting fixed since last Friday will be done some time next early week so mum is driving the golf as my dad is working abroad at the moment so it would be just sitting up anyway. Took her a while to master the auto electronic handbrake and stop start but she is getting used to it. Infairness he has it minded like a baby doesn't even eat in it.

Took the car out for a drive, seems good, there is an intermittent somewhere in the back and I'm getting used to the way the autobox shifts up

Have to go to Cavan tomorrow so that'll be a good test

Garage serviced it and replaced the front and rear brakes

Meant to say it a few pages back best of luck with the new car it's great to see you got it. Nice to get it on a good long road trip. I'm bringing mine to athlone then ballinasloe on Friday to visit family and for a party so it will be my first longish trip in it.
