But then there's ground level and the ****ing people.

 

Stereophonics new song is ****.

 

Looks like the entertainment has arrived, warm up act for a magician perhaps?

 

Do you walk down that hill for your Hovis?

 

Wrong country Skids ffs

Lava brad maybe....

 

Not liked them for a while, all a bit boring now.

 

Oops! looked like Wales.

Hovis is Engerlish y'muppet.

 

What's that black **** on the bacon?

 

Indeed but since the industrial revolution I think they bought a van.

 

Lava bread.

Laver is an edible, littoral alga (seaweed). In Wales, laver is used for making laverbread, a traditionalWelsh dish.

You seem ok with the cockles being on there?

Look like crackers to me.

 

Was reading an article about Cwmaman this morning it really is an odd place, we are talking a right dump of a village in the valleys very small place this is a pic of the whole place more or less.

Then in 2001 they built a multi million pound community complex there and flew in Prince Charles to open it. WTF?

Visitors to the place over the years have been Robbie Williams, Rhys Ifans and Howard Marx. There were strong links to the Krays and one resident is mentioned in the many books on them "Welsh Bernie" about a decade ago there was an armed raid on his house where many automatic weapons and a huge drug stash were taken. We are talking major op here with blacked out gas mask covered plod and lots of them, local kids stood around throwing bricks at them and calling them "****ing pigs".

It really is a real life Royston Vasey.

 

I know Sweats started this thread but I am also changing my car once Feb is out of the way.

Of my candidates, there seem to be loads of pros and cons to any option.

The 'old man' con has just been thrown in to the mix for the car I'd more or less settled on, the Jaguar XF!

So, anyone got any genuine recommendations as alternatives to the cars I've got in mind, which are;

BMX 5 series.
BMW 3 series touring.
Jaguar XF.
Mercedes C class estate.
Mercedes E class.
Maybe an Audi 6 but probably not.

Currently got a Ford Mondeo estate which I'd also consider as it ticks all the boxes.

Need a big car for passenger purposes and decent boot space, hence the 3 series and C class having to be estate.


Th(o)ughts?

 

I know **** all about cars but on looks alone the Merc C for me as the back end is nicer then the E

 

It would have to be the older shape, not got the cash or inclination to go for the newer one.

The estate version still looks good.

This one.

 

Personally, if you need decent space for the kids and their gear etc, I’d defo go for a BMW 5 touring, bags of room, lovely to drive, quick enough (even the 520ds). Get a dealer maintained one with sensible miles, what sort of budget you got like?

 

I'm just not a fan of these cars at all I don't like the Merc in Chiefs pic and wouldn't swap my Hyundai for it.

The BMW Tobes mentioned is nicer than the Merc.
