Today

Octavia

I have an Octavia Estate,1.9tdi, it's clocked up 110000 miles and does 60miles to the gallon on a good long mixed run. 9 year old next month.
I am not a slow coach either.
Had it checked out today and no serious problems.
Well they told me I had a couple of windscreen chips (which I knew) both motorway speed chips, out of the vision line.
A cracked front number plate, (which I knew), cock pheasant at speed!!!
                                  
   No, not a Bonneville rider on stabilisers!



What I hadn't noticed was that it is apparently pulling to the left,why they didn't ring and get my approval to check the tracking, I don't know! Still, it may come in handy ;o)
Anyway £135 for a full service.
Highly recommend the Skoda, get's all my tackle and more in with ease.
Don't overlook them.

Thanks Bob Roberts



The 4th Affair (alright I'll get them out of the way quick)


A woman was in bed with her lover when she heard her husband opening the front door.
'Hurry,' she said, 'stand in the corner.' She rubbed baby oil all over him, then dusted him with talcum powder.
'Don't move until I tell you,' she said. 'Pretend you're a statue.'
'What's this?' the husband enquired as he entered the room.
'Oh it's a statue,' she replied.
'The Smiths bought one and I liked it so I got one for us, too.'
No more was said, not even when they went to bed..
Around 2 AM the husband got up, went to the kitchen and returned with a sandwich and a beer.
'Here,' he said to the statue, 'have this. I stood like that for two days at the Smiths
and nobody offered me a damned thing.'

The River Bain is on the bush line, but is a mere trickle 500yards from it's spring source.
