New car

NEW CAR


At last I have got myself a new car. Well not exactly a new car more of a new car to me.

It is a Ford Mondeo 1.8 TD.


I was amazed at how much it cost me.


It has MOT till Nov 09, Tax till June 09 and its in pretty good nick.


All for just £350!!!!!!


It at present seems very economical but that all depends on whether the government put up the price of fuel up again. Its a diesel and I filled it up the other day from empty and it cost just £51. So far I have done 375 miles and it just got to ¼ tank mark. If I'd done that many miles in either of my previous cars I would have had to put more fuel in it.


Can't wait to see what it is like pulling my camper.

Why

I started life as a little molecule in my mums womb. I grew and became a child of life. When it was time I got kicked out of that warm place where I got fed all the time and I could sleep all the time if I wanted. It was really bright when I came out into the open and then I saw someone holding me in there hands. Then they looked at me, god! what a sight! I started to scream but they just kept making silly noises at me. Then they washed me and put me in this cage that I couldn't get out of. I get kicked out of some where nice and warm and get put into a bloody cage! Over time more and more people started sticking these ugly mugs in front of my face, I started to get used to the fact that not everybody can be beautiful. This woman started sticking things off her body into my mouth and then this warm stuff started coming out and it was quite tasty. Life carried on for a few years and I got bigger and bolder. I had to do what I was told when I was told to do it, or I got hit or shoute...

2018 updated

Well, i just checked the date of my last post, it seems it was nearly a year and a half ago. So much time passed, so much has happened. We are currently enjoting HRH 12, over in Wales, for the last time. From 2019 we head over to Great Yarmouth. Seen a few bands, drank a few beers and talked the talk. Sometimes i wonder why i go to see the bands that i have seen before. Sometimes, not always, the set is the same, the clothes are the same and the songs are the same. An example was Saxon last night. The set up on stage was exactly the same as every gig i have been to of theirs, the music that they played was virtually the same and they were dressed exactly the same( well Biff was anyway). Don't get me wrong, they give a good performance, but we want to see something different. We want to hear new songs as well as the classics. We want to take away new memories, not the same ones. I think i may think wisely about who i pay to see based on how they are performing. Iron maiden show the...

Antarctic diary: Polar year

Image
BBC science producer Martin Redfern is spending a month in the Antarctic reporting on International Polar Year. You can follow his exploits on this page. TUESDAY 12 FEBRUARY - THE DEEP SOUTH We witness what could be a colony of emperor penguins We've had three days at sea, heading ever further South. The Captain on HMS Endurance, Bob Tarrant, has decided that it would not be time-effective to try to reach Thurston Island. Satellite images show a build-up of sea ice, so we might spend a week trying to get close and still not make it. Or worse, get stuck. But that means we've more chance of getting the scientists into sites on Alexander Island and around the Ronne entrance. The Ronne entrance marks the junction between the Antarctic Peninsula and the bulk of Western Antarctica, an...
