    Ordered a pair of binoculars from Amazon for my Xmas, from the wife. £120 retail, £75 on Ebay - £50 on Amazon.
    They arrived with a bashed box, e-mailed the supplier and asked whether they would like to give me a partial refund, or return for full refund. They opted to give me £15 partial refund !!!

    So just cost us £35 (I'll do the maths, so you don't have to take your shoe's and socks off;), I know a couple of you can count up to 43 !!!!)

    Love a win like that. :D:D:D:D:D

    Our Freelander has a wee rotary switch, thought it was a gimmick till I played in the snow last year. Bloody works a treat!!! :)

    Great fun sticking it in sand and just sat there making rooster tails in the snow!!!! :D:D:D

    Stopped in traffic this morning while alongside a bus. Inside was a young lad (6-7 year old i'd say) looking bored as hell.
    I rev the bike and give him a wave, got the biggest smile back.

    I can relate to that, got to the bottom of a hill when 2" of snow had just dumped down. Porche 4x4 was trying and failing miserably, so I overtook her in my Renault Megan, 2nd gear nice n easy on the throttle and the hill wan't a problem. I would love to have seen her face.

    Everyone that has ridden an electric bike seems to be pleasantly surprised, the world speed record is 241mph! John Mcguinness did a 119.3 lap of the TT on one!

    Been working with adults with learning difficulties , some with Down's syndrome for the past couple years , today I was in the local co op when someone shouted on me , I turned round to see a boy with Down's whom I had worked with for about a year about 6 months ago and hadn't seen him since . He was out with another support worker. He came up to me and gave me a bear hug and said he missed me and when was I coming back to work with him. That made my day today :)

    "Even if that honesty involves telling me I was really scruffy and should dress up before going out in public" I hope you're not one of these people who goes to the shops with pyjamas on :eek: seems to be a common thing up here now !! :p Great stuff with the homeless charity :)

    Now I know you won't believe this but I'm just off the phone to Churchill Insurance as I wanted to put my daughter on the car insurance for tomorrow and Wednesday only. I asked the girl at customer services how much this would add and she says "nothing" !!! :eek:

    First time in my puff an insurance company has made me smile....... I told her that too. I was really expecting the usual humping. Good old Churchill........ love that dog so I do.. :D
