INDEBTED AS ALWAYS
Sticks and stones will break my bones but...
...stocks and shares will never hurt me.
how's about we all put a pound in and see how much we can make on the stock market, over the next few years.
I saw a documentary last night on Warren Buffet, the most successful investor ever ! His philosophy is to only invest in things that he uses, thus he will always know there's a demand for the products he backs. Bill Gates met him ans ais he was the smartest guy he's ever come across.
Such a nice chap too, he says it's all about people, oh how right he is.
I've started doing a very similar thing and not only does it appear to be working but it's so much fun.
Had two hours to kill today so I went to the cinema and watched SHREK 3, it was bloody brilliant, by the way I'm getting Austin Powers withdrawal, isn't it about time there was another one about.
Tea time peeps.

I'm glad you said Shrek 3 was brilliant...it hadn't been getting rave reviews and I was upset for the poor wee thing!
I fear I will bow out of the investing £1 bit...I have such bad luck I seem incapable of spotting trends - and the things I like - no one else does! Cliffy, Sound of Music, Jim Steinman....see? I just don't have it quite right.
But I'm happy in my slightly wierd world.
Still inundated with slugs...they've now moved from the vegetables, which they've eaten - to my petunias!
aaarggh!
tell me about it...a new Austin Powers movie is needed and soon.
Stocks and shares scare me (as I don't really understand them), I just imagine I'll lose loads....my father-in-law is into all that so maybe we'll have a chat about it over dinner one day, I'll still be none the wiser but might venture into it. I like the idea of onhly buying into things you use - genius.
Whilst you were away on your recent hols Chris, it was suggested we try to break the blog entry record.... well I don't know what the least amount ever is but boy was it quiet yesterday - only 22 and 3 of those were me!!!!!
Perhaps it was one of those no news days.
Back to work tomorrow so I'll dip in and out as best I can for the next few days. Knee's still feeling stiff, sore and weak so I'll be sure to take it easy (if that's possible)
Have a great weekend all you out there, the sun is still shining on Norwich today..... I've put in my order for a few more days worth.

CLP - the sheer luxury of cinema in the middle of the day AND when the rugrats are still at school! Bliss .... good on ya, but I'm dead jealous!
Mr Diva and I saw Shrek 2 at a cinema on a Saturday afternoon and there were so many vile teenagers in there, not particularly watching the film - they mostly spent the duration of the film throwing mobile phones around, texting ring-tones and naughty photos to eachother, getting up endlessly for hotdogs, popcorn, the loo .... anyhooooo after the film ended I was really brave and complained to "the management" - and to give them their dues, they gave us cinema vouchers by way of repayment so that we could visit again at no cost. Sweet! (It still spoilt Shrek 2 tho!!)
I've been reconciling credit card statements against receipts all day. Its certainly all hands on deck at my new job. I guess that's the biggie between working for a large organisation with everyone packed in their "I only do this" silos, and small company where you have to multi-task whether you like it or not. Just so happens, I like it!
Off to the nail bar tonight to have my talons cut down (acrylic, not real!!!) Mr Diva is cooking the dinner - salad off the beloved allotment, so not too much to cook there then!
I made a gooseberry clafoutis last night with gooseberries from said allotment - fantastic! Nigella rocks - cheers for the recipe Mrs Satchii!
Right, back to the credit card slips ..... almost the weekend!
CtD x x x
PS: Mr Diva bought some eggs and the vendor claims they're all double yolkers. How do they know before they hatch that they're double yolkers????? Answers on a postcard (or blog) please ....

I am willing to throw a pound in, what are we going to invest in??!!
Thirsty Thursday, am looking forward to a small alcoholic beverage I must say, how about investing in something along these lines, cos its the only thing they haven't tried to ban yet??
BTW..
Am sssssssssssssoooooooooooooo excited I have managed to get Prince tickets for the 1st and the last night and the O2, oooooooohhhhhhhhhmmmmyyyyyyyyyGod - Sorry Guys but I can hardly wait..........!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, have to agree (on Shrek 3), I'm not sure why all the reviewers had problems with it!
Just listening to Steve & think I need to have a look at Miles' website before I go on holiday this year!
yeah I'll put a quid in!! :D
Please no more Austin Powers. 3 was great byt no more. I love Shrek but haven't seen the new film. I can't wait for the Simpsons film to come out, that will be so funny, I just love Ralph and Martin! hehe! And did you know Lisa Simpson was born in the same year as me 1984 so how come she still looks so young?!
I have been like a zombie today, I made a list of little things to do and have hardly done anything! Why cant it just be warm and so I can sit outside and knit! At least Norwich had some sun today!
Ms Mayhem you are so lucky to see Prince. I would love to see him strumming his guitar!hehe
Nearly finished knitting my bag, well I have finished it but I need to sew in a lining and sew it all up, I will put photos on my blog soon so keep watch!
Well better go and listen to the show, catch ya later xxx
Ps I love Wimbledon but my gos do I miss Neighbours!
About the double-yolkers, Mrs Cheryl Diva #3.
The bloke on the fruit and veg stall in the market told me that the first ever clutch of eggs laid by adolescent chickens are always double yolkers, sometimes the 2nd lot are too, but not always.
Shrek - love him - can't wait to see 3.
£1 - wow - gonna see what I can invest it in.
EG
Sorry Christophe,
Shrek 3 was so dire that i fell asleep, apart from the ginger bread man pooping! Very little to laugh at, too many in the series and it's gone stale. (Not the Gingerbread man)
However, loving the idea of a campaign to bring back the double deckers!
DD out
PS Have to admit it's getting better!
CLP
Yep, count me in for a quid.
Imagine Buffett and Gates together in a room getting into a conversation about who has the biggest house/most houses/biggest yachts/most Picassos etc. I know that they are both very philanthropic men and neither are known for their materialism, but with $50 billion odd each at their disposal they are both entitled to a few toys.....
I can take or leave Shrek and Mike Myers. I quite liked Wayne's World at the time and I have seen the first two Shreks on DVD, but I won't be rushing down to the flicks for that one.
So, Christophe. Up to anything 'interesting' over the next few days? Eh, nudge, nudge, wink wink, know what I mean? You were like an excitable child on Christmas Eve this evening, anything you want to tell us?
Whatever it is, I hope it goes well.
Much peace & love

ooh I forgot What about poor old George Melly. Yet another national treasure joins the absent pool. Definately one who lead a life less dreary. Spike Milligan said of him.

He couldn't get near the telly
So he had to go
And listen to the radio

Well, lookee here, ARF again ALREADY! Have had a super quick squiz through the last few days as have piles, so need to get on...
Other news...
Me, the boy and the cats are now ensconced. The new home of International Badger Rescue is taking shape, and we've only had the litter tray upended once so far, so everything seems to be going ok!
Alan Johnston is free. I was so pleased that I was actually able to listen to the radio that day, otherwise I don't think I'd know! What a massive relief for him and his family.
Can't abide Shrek. Dunno why. Never could.
Gingembre - tumbletots? Is this like skittles?
Mayhem, how good to hear from you!
Portugal? Weddings? ???
...and as far as the £1 goes, having just moved hyse, I'd need to pop to the cash point with a ram raiding machine, but I'll have a look down the sofa first...

Hello all. I went home poorly yesterday - I've got a yukky cold. I was watching a lovely old black and white movie on tv (The Ghost & Mrs Muir) - but I fell asleep - argh! Anyone know what heppens in the end????????
Have great weekends all - come on Lewis H!

Hi everyone, I loved the first Shrek but tomorrow when hubby and kids go to see number 3 I'll be shopping for birthday presents (not Christmas presents yet missy, although I know it feels like winter!). I just think the cinema is so expensive, for 4 of us to go it would be about 20 quid, so I'll wait til it comes out on DVD. Next week I will definitely be going to see Harry Potter, and I can't WAIT for the new book to come out, just in time for my hols! My son and I will be fighting over it and i think I'm going to let him read it first as long as he's done OK in his SATS!
I'm reading We Need To Talk About Kevin at the moment, not the most cheerful book (about the mother of a teenage killer) and I find I dread picking it up. I love reading all sorts of books, but I prefer ones that make you feel happy. Marian Keyes is my fave, she makes me laugh out loud, she's just brilliant. For something a bit heavier, I like Sarah Waters, Fingersmith was wonderful. What do you all like reading?
Em xx
I'm afraid I'm not with you on the Austin Powers thing - controversial I know but just not my cup of tea.

It's been a while since I posted (or even read) but I'm back.....
Hey Em M, just finished "Is Anybody There?" by M Keyes - FAB. I love books with a twist.
Hazel, wishing you happiness in your new home (and hoping you find lots of dosh down the sofas!)

Hi Chris, I'll put a pound in! JDB
Alwight CLP & ALL Blog Friends,
Bingo Star ere.
Very interesting person Warren Buffet. I've read that he started investing with just $100 in the 1950's which I suppose terday would be more like $10,000. Slowly, well actually fastly, he has built it up to something like $40 or $50billion. It just goes to show if yer in the right place at the right time yer can make a fortune. Mr Buffet I believe got into Microsoft & McDonalds when they were very small companies and has stayed with them since. I read that something like £100 invested in Microsoft when it first started would be worth over £3million now- crayzeeeee!!! - am tellin yer blog dudes!
Chris man, like I keep saying Tanfield is my favourite stock at the moment. I agree with Mr Buffet to by in large companies and hold but you've got to get a large amount of money in the first place, too make a big difference, which is what 'e 'ad after accumilating alot through Micro & McD's.
My philosiphy is while a hot stock is thrusting forth get in it while it is, as Tanfield is. Then if it turns bad get out, as many do, and look for another hottie- know what am sayin!
But if you get very lucky like Mr Buffet did originally then just hold over 10, 20 years, whatever, and you could make millions- but it's very rare to find such hugely growing companies as Microsoft!
Gingembre - thanks for your comment yesterday about me comment yesterday- You say was she worth it?- I believe she's been in 29 L'Oreal adverts so she's definately is worth it!!! Actually I don't know if she has been in any L'Oreal adverts at all but she's still worth it anyway - sorry i'm getting confused now! It ain't take much ter confuse the Bingo brain.
As for freeing meself - it took me 6 hours ter get free. I've got Rod Stewart ter thank. It's only when he kicked one of 'is balls at me that I jumped back thus freeing meself.
ROD mate, THANK YOU FRIEND!!!
PS Christoof- any chance of playing Jimmy Buffet - Cheeseburger In Paradise. Very well structured tune, in all areas- just watch the calories!!!
Trarrr Kiddda's!!!!
Hi
I've just finished reading 'Innocent Traitor' by Alison Weir. It's all about Lady Jane Grey who was Queen for 9 days. It was so sad that I had a lump in my throat at the end.
If you have any interest in that part of history I definately recommend it. Oh and 'The Boleyn Inheritance' by Phillipa Gregory is good too.

Hi everyone! Hapy ARF - and a windy one at that!
Happy New ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ HL - may you love your new abode and may it treat you well!
EmM - that book you're reading sounds intrigueing - if you wanna offload it when you're done ..... and I love Marian Keyes. When I read 'Anyone Out There' I laughed out loud and cried buckets - Mr Diva thought I was bonkers! We played the fantasy dinner party game recently with friends and Marian Keyes was one of my six.
Also love reading biographes (got a Che Guevara one to read, and Sammy Davis Jnr, and Dean Martin. Fiction: Patricia Scanlon, Ben Elton, Karin Slaughter ... quite varied taste really - just like my music!
Right, back to playing match the credit card slip to the statement. Will pop in at lunchtime for an update with everyone!

Good morning vf's.....
HL glad you have surfaced from the packing cases etc lots of luck and happiness in the new home.
Jax - How's the belly dancing doing. Looked out for you on B's got Talent - no?
Tinsel - The Capt. stops visiting when the George Sanders character turns up, Mrs M stays widowed, gets older (!) still beautiful though and dies - the Captain goes to meet her as she does. Aaaaw. I was off poorly sick too yesterday but watched The Admirable Crichton in the afternoon, turned it off before Countdown can only cope with 'so much' excitement?
Wilsmar
Ms Mayhem only just seen your posting..... it's Mr Marconie for ARF.
Wilsmar
Oooh - forgot to say ... I'm going to see Prince in August too. v.v. excited - even if I had to literally drag a friend along for the ride as Mr Diva point blank refused to go (ditto Take That in December!)
I bribed the friend with the promise of lunch at the Rainforest Cafe as we're both big kids with no kids!

I didn't get to hear the show last night, where is Chris tonight then?
I have to pick my little boy up from his nan's on Friday evenings after work and get to hear most of the show. Was looking forward to listening to Chris tonight. Never mind, I may stick my George Michael CD on instead, the kids will love that!
Debx
Have just been done for malicious content.
Do not know what was contained therein that was malicious.
Anyhoo, thank you for your offer Mayhem. The cats aren't allowed pocket money as we found out they were spending it on catnip and string. It's not easy visiting your pussy in rehab.
Tinsel, I don't know, but I spec it would have made you cry. Hope you're feeling better now x
If I had invested in something I was using when I was fifteen, I'd have made about £4.83 by now, but then the government banned them, and you don't get much call for Kerknockers underground.
BIG LOVE TO THE BLOG POLICE XXX MWAH MWAH

CtD, we're lovin' it like that!
Hi Chris
Will try to get to see Shrek as you said it was
good . lots of films coming out at moment.
Have good weekend

Wilsmar - you remembered! Wow!
Belly dancing is great fun - although much tougher than it looks. Not quite up to B got Talent just yet, maybe next year ;-) My teacher is completely insane!
It's nice to be back
Jax

Like HL I too seem to have been BP'ed earlier.
Just a harmless double entendre jioke..Oh well.
Anyway I'm up for a quid investment.
Nev
Wilsmar, how tiny does the world get? I too watched Mr Kenneth Moore at his most Admirable, yesterday afternoon, and also switched off prior to 'Count Down'. Having enough trouble focussing on the wall at the moment due to head-spinning nature of move, so cannot cope with words and numbers...
Anyhoo, quelle coinkydinky eh!
...and it's less packing cases, and more boxes packed by the boy. It's almost like a child's pass the parcel, except not quite so well wrapped...
Now, see Tinsel, it was a happy ending! Aaaaah x
Oh thanks Wilsmar!!! So glad they got together eventually! Kept thinking of Shere Kahn with the George Sanders guy!
HL - that would have made me cry too - I'm a sucker for happy endings!! Anyone watch Crush (the freebie with the sunday papers?) - that made me cry as well!
Where is CLP tonight then?
Hi Tinsel, I asked where he was earlier and I'm still none the wiser! My husband always tells me that I'm too nosey!
x
So Chris isn't here for ARF.....sounds like the rumours really are true. Nice one, hope you will be very happy together and have lots of little Christophes and Christophettas.
Just had a really awful day at work, i was struggling on my own as my colleague was at a funeral and this little six year old said "You're crap at that". i felt like saying, well you come round here and serve sausage, chips, beans and peas to loads of horrible kids, but instead I told a teacher who dobbed him into the head - ha! Cross a dinnerlady at your peril.
So glad other people love Marian Keyes. Have any of you read her diary on her website? Its so funny, its like reading one of Clodagh's messages on here!
Have a fab weekend one and all, and I look forward to hearing and reading all about Chris's weekend on Monday.
Em xx
Tinsel and Debbie (in no particular order) he didn't say where he was going ........ but if he sends a note off his Mum......?
Wilsmar
PS Flying down to Rio?
Dear EmM, I read your post about dobbing, and read it as the child was dobbed ON the head, not TO the head. In the ye olden days, I guess it would have been both! Nowadays, I guess if you get caught dobbing a child ON the head, you'd get dobbed TO the head, ON the head, and ABOUT the head, by the beak. But that's not for here.
Canna believe Christophe is ophe. The FIRST chance I get to listen to Drivetime since last Friday 'n all.
I'll be gaying hame soon. Sorry, caught me torkin all black and whayte again...must stop watching olde fashioned type filems...

Hi Chris
Couldn't agree more.... on the need for a new Austin Powers movie I mean!
It's one of Fred Bears favourite films. And you just happen to be his favourite non-bear type thingy person. In fact, you're partly responsible for his existence (no, this isn't a paternity claim)... so go on, go and see him and say hi at thebearclub.co.uk, which has launched this week, it would make his day!
:-))
I invest in Apple Computer (AAPL) only! and I've seen it's share prices rise over the past year from about 60US$ a share to now.. 125US$ a share.. OMG that's impressive!
Chris, yes please, share your shares with us, what have u invested in?
I'm seeing Shrek 3 next week, hope it's fab!
enjoy the weekend Chris, drivetime team and everyone who reads these blogs! - at least the sun's out for the weekend.. x fingers!
what a day!, haven't stopped.
HL - glad you're still in one piece after the move. The image of tumbletots has changed in my head now forever!!!
everyone else (far too many to mention today) - welcome back to those been away, hello to all the regulars, and bonjour to any first timers - have a great weekend and see you all Monday

Well that was great! It is so nice that speed surfing, any wind surfing gets some coverage. Zara Davis is a world record holder and nobody knows. They do now!
Please could we have more sport coverage of the English greats!
Excellent and a good start

I just wanted to say that I have been listening to Chris' show for a while now, loved TFI and listend to Chris on the radio lots on other stations previously.
I have been checking the blog for a few weeks and I must say that I really look forward to reading Chris' thoughts and reading everything that you guys have to say, Hazel Love, Bingo Star, CtD etc, you all make me smile and I look forward to logging on each day.
I had Post Natal Depression a little while back, lost my job, marital problems and lots more but won't bore you with details but I, we, got over the worst of it. Recently started to feel myself slipping into bad times again.
I don't tell me many people that know and love me alot about how I feel.
I just wanted to say that this blog is great and I find it very inspirational even if I don't often feel brave enough to join in.
I've gone on enough now, so catch up soon.
Deb
Hey Debbie #43 - WELCOME!!! Hope you'll post lots more from now on :-)

Good Monday babies! The sun is shining here, I hope it is on all of you too!
Christophe, I trust you had an enjoyable weekend? Whatever you were up to?
I didn't manage to see any Sunday papps as was FAR TOO BUSY watching lovely Royal Marines strutting their stuff at the Deal Bandstand Re-dedication Ceremony. Had a bit of a cheer and a bit of a cry too...it is a very emoting service...and in memory of the eleven Marines who lost their lives in a terrorist attack in 1989 at Deal Barracks...
Anyhoo, the boy was in (and still is at time of writing) Wales, having great larks and things...so the pussycats were home alone for 36 hours...and what a lovely surprise when I got back last eve, NO NEED for International Badger Rescue at all! They had been remarkably well behaved, bless their leetle cotton sox...so a jolly time was had by all I guess.
Apparently the boy and his friends are going 'up' Snowdon today. I shall believe that when I see the pictures quite frankly. My bet is that they will get to the signpost that says 'Mount Snowdon' and come home again...the main reason we are now in a flat is so the boy doesn't have to climb anything...so a mountain, well, that's just silly-boy bravado...
Other news.
I still have piles, so I must get orn...see you chaps later...I think this evening we are supposed to be going bowling...or skittles...or tumbletots...or something...

Debbie.
Welcome to our little cyber community.
I, like many others here, have been able to use this forum as a means of 'self-therapy' over the past year or so. On many occasions I have found a little solace here when I have been feeling less than fantastic about life, so it is always heartening to know that others do the same.
Live Earth. The odd moment of brilliance, but on the whole it was let down by poor sound quality and, I'm sorry to say, poor coverage by Auntie. I mean, fancy cutting away from Metallica as they went into Enter Sandman! Still, the Foos were awesome and feel inspired enough to dig out my old Beastie's CDs when I get home this evening.
Any news on CLP's weekend activities?
Peace & love

PS Sleep with one eye open.

You can get cream for that sort of thing.

How is everyone today. Sorry about your piles HL.. then can be very painful I hear.
I hope CLP had a great long weekend, I guess a day in leiu was due after having to work on The Di concert over the last weekend, double time I hope.
Didn't see much of the live earth thingy except for Madonna who I thought was a sensation.
Message for Debbie.. If life was perfect it would be very boring.
...and also just wanted to say hallo to Deb!
Hallo Deb!

Hi Bloggers
Not been on here for AGES, computer at home takes an hour to spring into life and frankly just couldn't be bothered to wait - Sorry chaps!
Anyway there is light at the end of my tunnel of pure misery and morning sickness (who the hell called it that, more like 'ok in the morning but a downhill spiral to an evening of wretching at every single cooking smell' sickness - can't see why thats not caught on!!!)
We had our scan last week and I'm now 14 weeks preggers, it doesn't seem that long ago that I shared my little secret with you all. Now everyone knows, well aprt from work, as its quitre a dodgy situation as we're merging with a new company at the end of Aug so I don't want it to affect any future job ops!!!
Charlie is very exited, although he does keep telling everyone that Mommy has got a baby lion in her tummy - i think he will be a little dissappointed.
Hope the weekend went well Chris - Whatever you and GotS got up to!
Heres to a sunny week - Hopefully!

Hazel - don't take any photos as proof as he could just have caught the train up Snowdon!

Hi Debbie,
Welcome to the blog, we're pretty friendly on here and some of us pour out our hearts every so often.
Weekend was OK, eldest son is 11 tomorrow so he went to see Shrek 3 with his friends and his dad while I went shopping for presents for him and all the other people who have birthdays in July. Watched some of Live Earth, thought Madonna was great and also really enjoyed the Pussycat Dolls and Paolo Nutini. Yesterday tried to get my head round my paperwork and then made my son cry by forcing him to do his project. Finished We Need To Talk About Kevin last night, really horrible, am quite glad its over.
Chris, hope you had an exciting (!?@) weekend.
CU @ 5,

Morning folks (I'm on 7pm-7am nights at the mo so it's morning on my world!)
Big hello to Debbie, we're a nice bunch, look forward to reading your postings soon. It's good to open up on here every so often, you get great unbiased advice. Plus there are some hilarious bloggers too which is ace when you're a bit down.
HL - so you've met Nobby Stiles eh? Get the cream and I'll send you a rubber ring to sit on!
Haven't got a hug load to say as I'm a bit spaced out thro' lack of sleep and body clock not quite right today (I hear it's Monday?)
Thought The Fed was great to win 5 in a row, mind you the Spaniard is getting very close, very quickly......great final. Unlucky Lewis, shows just how far he's come when 3rd feels like a let down. As usual the British public/press have built him up far too much too soon. Give him time and he could be as good as, or even better than Schuey?
Have to go now, the sun is streaming into the house which is a ovely sight/feeling but I'm actually going to try and sleep some more.
Je suis fatigued (or something about being tired in French?)

Hello All inc. CLP (and Debs)
I too am in for a pound - I'm so bored with working really hard and still not having any money to show for it...
Got a new venture on the go so maybe that will pay dividends in the end. I don't want much but I would like to have my own house, car which is fairly new and reliable and not have to panic when the bills come in - not too much to ask I wouldn't have thought.
Got three lots of minutes to produce from Friday's meetings so better get on with it.
Lovely week to us all,
jx
Dahlings, thank you SO much for caring...took me a minute to work out Nobby Stiles. Had to use a pencil in the end.
Was also confused as drove to work behind a Nobby's Nuts van this morning.
Anyhoo, bless you all...I've akshully finished all the piles now! It's amazing what you can put your mind to when you bother, and when your PC is being PC with the network, and I don't have to throw all my toys ootp every four secs due to paddy attack because the system is so cr@p etc etc...like I said, amazing...
Boss surprised I have dun filin (this is probably going to be the name of the Badger Sett Retirement Cottage if we ever do. Retire, that is or dun ceilin, or dun badgerin I s'pose even) and I am hoping the surprise isn't because I haven't really finished the aforementioned, and there are going to be more pilesafilin awaitin filin. But in the meantime...
Akshully sun is art, so am gonna have a swift cig because I can...
Nev, thanks for the tip mate! You know the thing though, the boy'd say 'Oh, lets givvit a go lads' and his mate (lovely but a bit of a wimp) would say 'OOOH look there's a little train, lte's get the little train!' So as I said, thanks for the tip. Still haven't heard anything re the homecoming. They're probably trying to get enough change together to get back across the Severn!

Thank you for your time...
Good afternoon everyone.
Welcome Debbie, I too am a newbie I read alot but don't enter an entry very often. The entries on here are superb for raising spirits, blowing away the cobwebs of the mind and generally fun.
I had a very busy weekend with Wareham Carnival on Sunday which was preceeded by a procession of big bikes from Christchurch I believe - I was on collecting duty and walking the route having fun. The Guggi band from Ringwood was awsome - if anyone knows them say thanks for their entertainment.
The weather down here on the coast was sun, sun and more sun, we did get a little rain overnight last night though and I still have the lawns to mow.
I'm trying to arrange a test drive (all day) from a local friendly garage in WSM for a tigra with the metal roof that comes down..... ooooer
Will let you know how it goes unless people out in blog land know of a better classy small car with the roof that comes down - not peugot though please.
