I need this...........

Post by Fungus_the_Bogeyman »

It seems to be the norm these days on a certain "colonial" site that if you need a new computer
or tablet you ask the membership to put their hands down and contribute. Just the moderators and
US citizens you understand certainly not the plebs on this side of the pond.

So after traipsing back and forth to the local ASDA on my now septuagenarian pins I feel I need
some wheels. They have to have street cred so a Micra or Smart Car is out. Something that'll pull
the birds in St. Tropez and Monte Carlo. Well may as well shop further afield, ( my local
ASDA/Walmart is full of erm....Walmart people).

I NEED a Ferrari. A 458 would be nice.

I shall be opening an offshore account, not sure which shore yet, to which the generous
membership can pay in to. I think multiples of £10k would be appropriate anything less would be
so blue collar.

Thanking you all in anticipation. A/C number to follow shortly.

That expression was the one which appeared in the first (and last and only) episode of "A touch of Frost", which I watched.


BTW, while you're in the donating mood, and while Joe has mentioned the Aussie Mikes:-
We may need to raise bail for MikeW.....after all, he admitted on line that it was actually cold in Queensland. :worried:

Strange to say, while British kids believe if they dig a deep enough hole in the yard, they will get to Oz, Oz kids (NSW and Qld at least) believe they can get to China by the same method. This is said to have come from migrants from SoCal who came to the goldfields here after the '49 rush faded over there. They had asked the Chinese miners in the US why they were always digging, and they answered "To get back home"...
Reminds me a bit of that splendid navigational error headlined on the Beebsite a few years back: "Yorkshire cavers rescued in S-E France" :S

Sadly Dave encouragement does not a Ferrari buy. Having a little difficulty setting up the bank account. Being as it's an offshore bank it keeps moving. On a lighter note I found my old string back gloves and Ray Bann sunglasses. All I need now is the cool wheels. B-)
