A playground with a proper spiked fence to impale brats falling out of trees.

Indeed... 

And that is the Stains Reservoir beyond... We used to go through the aforementioned fence and slide down it on owld bits of cardboard.... 

I see that the swings and roundabouts have long since been removed, no doubt for health and safety reasons....

They've renamed it Staines on Thames you know.

Yes...

I thought shithole Staines suited it betterer.....

Staines?  Mustn't forget the apocryphal Seaman from Pugwash

Back on topic, my 39 years list to ridicule (why does this have a similar feel to listing all those young ladies we may have gained some favours from?)

1. Cortina Mk1 - my one true love in cars, if only it would start
2. Cortina Mk2 - so easy to repair, got so much practice
3. Cortina Mk3 - a dalliance best forgotten
4. Cortina Mk4 - 1st company car, reliable and boring as hell zzzzzzzzzzzz
5. Cavalier Mk2 - wasn't going to be seen dead in a Sierra, tried hard to be so in this
6. Cavalier Mk2 SRI - a whole 120 BHP!  A very good drive
7. Citroen BX GTi - fun, fast, just looked shite
8. Citroen BX 16V - seriously fast, seriousy flawed and still looked silly - stupidly I bought it from the company
9. Citreon Xantia Activa - bit underpowered but a stonking drive, drove it into the ground

and to my current drive

10 Mazda 3 MPS - 256BHP and can fit a washing machine in it when needed.  Best thing to come out of Hiroshima.  Needs 10 old lady muggings a year to pay for the insurance
 

Enough of my jallopies

. . . and bought the Pajero – the most incredible on and off road vehicle…  . . .

they are good, very very good, just one tiny flaw.  Ever seen the Spanish translation of that

In an absolute fit of madness, I put my hand up at the auction and ended up with one of these heaps of utter shite.




Caused me an absolute shed load of trouble and ended up losing over half of what i initially paid for it.

All seemed like such a great idea at the time too.

Think I may have indeed been having a 'gay moment', yes.

You know me. ALWAYS hold me fury paws up and admit it when I know I'm wrong.
