I am hoping to buy a smart TV in the sales if they are still going in 2-3 weeks time.
We decided to go for a 4-5 mile walk along the beach this afternoon to get rid of "some" of the Christmas excess but didn't go for a swim ! |

Last race of 2013. Yesterday at Sandown Park Rotax karting , thought I was going well until a couple of hot shots came past as if I was standing still. Great fun with Alan Morgan being the youngster of the group at 58. |

Bloody cold call just before 10am regarding PPI - on a Sunday (and the one between Christmas and New Year, to boot), the one day of the week I answer the phone first time round since I expect it to actually be someone I know. When I asked why Sunday, she said 'well some of us have to work on Sunday'. So because you do, I have to too? Can't believe anyone would say that to someone they are touting for business from. I'm on two preferential phone services and still get these calls all the time. It's harassment and it should be illegal. In the old days, a phone was a friend and helped access the outside world, now it's a nightmare and gives the world access to your privacy any time of the day or night. Oh, and there's no central register to record whether a company has already acted for you in respect of PPI recovery, so I reckon every one of the 146,000 (or whatever) companies that the government gave licences to do this has tried to contact me. Ye Gods, I'm steaming!!!
Happy New Year! Last edited by John Turner; 29 Dec 2013 at 11:50. |

Wow, is that really you John? You'll be in line for an invite to the 2014 Victor Meldrew at this rate!
Wishing you a Happy (and Peaceful) New Year! (Re: unwanted calls- Caller Display helps you chose whether to answer or not, if you haven't got it already. ) |

Peter, if you get your Rover to the Goodwood 72 I hope you will have it in full, accurate Land Speed Record trim:

Not sure if the timing was over a measured distance or just a recorded Vmax? Rather him than me, whatever..... |

Yes 110mph in a truck across sand was quite foolhardy, never mind the idiot on the bike behind. Very impressive, totally British attempt, I boggled when I saw him doing 100mph on a "test run" in his jeans and bike clips! I think Guy's fitness was very much down played, 2 or 3 minutes flat out takes a lot of doing no matter how good the tech behind it. |

Well , I going to kick off and wish everyone on 10/10ths a happy new year. Just wondering what name Peter will give to our tea break thread this year. On the last day of 2013 I still don't get all this "thingy wassname stuff ". Looking forward to 2014 with a couple of new adventures in store, high light I hope will be Spa 6 hours racing with Mike. Not so sure about the other one, Colin wants us to get the S Type sorted. I like a challenge.. Take care everyone.

All the best for 2014 everyone. 2013 was a very mixed year I found. Several good and a few excellent things, though too many that I would have been delighted to have avoided. Hopefully 2014 will be an improvement for all of us. Hope to see all of you somewhere, sometime, in the course of the year. Grant |

Yep, Happy New Year to all and on that note, you'll all have to start drinking Earl Grey, 'cos' this thread is now officially declared well and truly closed!
