Really? The Lancia marque has become a fairytale, now consisting of only one car which is only sold in Italy. **** you very much, Fiat.

I now have an overpowering urge to spend some money on a crappy old Lancia which will disintegrate from rust parked on the road outside my house. But it will be mine.

Banning things! That’s what it’s about, isn’t it? I’d ban British Gas, in particular their services/maintenance operation which we have paid a lot of money every month to ‘maintain’ our admittedly ancient boiler, who turn up today to fix something, which they do, then tell us they have to disable the ****ing thing because the flue has rotted and there is a carbon monoxide risk. So now we have no heating or hot water in November until we can get a new boiler installed. Thanks for the maintenance lads. I haven’t shaved for a few days and now it’s looks like I’ll be a hipster before the chance comes around again. NOOOOOOO! Considering joining the local gym so I can keep clean. Total humiliation.

I’d ban Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs because: (1) it’s prejudiced against dark people, (2) it’s prejudiced against people that are vertically challenged, and (3) it’s eightist. :)

recaps every 10 minutes
Yeah, make it every five please.
People (like Glen Hoddle) who continuously say " at this moment in time" instead of "at the moment"
All verbal tics.
Daughter - ‘I’m not going to lie.....’
Son - ‘Trust me.....’
Wife - ‘Technically....’
My typical responses
Daughter - ‘why change the habit of a brief lifetime?’
Son - ‘I did once and regretted it’
Wife - ‘if it’s that technical I need to see the draughtsmans plans before we go any further’
Or the more general all encompassing ‘I have a very limited attention span and less time to live than you in all probability, please make every word count’
 
Inappropriate use of the word awesome.

For me something awesome is almost unbelievably attention grabbing, literally (and I mean literally) stand still, jaw dropping, what the **** amazing like bits of Blue Planet. Not a pair of trainers.

On yer bike. As long as you expect them to break down most are gorgeous. Style over substance every time.

What do you think of the Peugeot 3008? My wife wants one, looks like an identikit bus to me. But she has a Polo GTI which I want.

New Peugeot’s look nice they are on a roll
My Espace 3.5 V6 is now our most reliable car as it cruised through its MOT today
Engine is superb
My partner has M3 and has spent a load
My new Porsche has cost me £1200 since I brought it

You make your choice with cars and they nearly always kick you back
