what's the world coming to when....

Post by Fordoholic Nick »

I have to resort to the internet to but my favourite mints...

Most of my local shops seem to have decided not to replace stocks of these anymore, but as they were always selling out of them it don't make sense. So I decided to go online and buy some but think I might have got a bit carried away....

At least when Trump and Kim Jong-un try to blow the world up if I survive I will have good supplies of Murray Mints :wave:

PS Yes before you say I will try Martin at Capri Gear too... :lol:

There's a bit of rubbish on your chair there Nick. Bet that would never happen in your garage :)

Bleedin Hell Paul :o Nothing gets past you old chap. That is a piece of the wrapping bag they came in. I did notice it shortly after posting this and the matter has been dealt with to a standard I am sure will meet even your high standards :)

Ermmm....yep my garage is very clean mate. My next job is to paint the garage floor even though the missus wants painting done in the flat :wave:

Glad to hear it Nick :D That looks like a really comfy chair, can imagine flaking out on that for sure, nice colour too.

One of my local curry houses gives Murray Mints at the end of the meal, I always sing that song out loud when I receive them!

Hey cheers Paul. Its a two seater fully electric powered recliner fella. Very silent motor. Reclines almost dead flat yet does this 'almost' in its own frame space....amazing bit of kit. The missus has the three seater ! Yep we fell in love with the colour. I am at present trying to figure out a way to fit fishnet headrests but aint told the missus yet.... :wave:

You will sit in the comfy chair until this afternoon, with only a cup of tea at 11s's.
I'm the one who leaves all those shoes in the carriageway.
