I can't point a finger at anyone and claim that they changed my life,for better or worse.
This may seem a bit odd,coming from a Liverpool fan,but i always thought of the former Man Utd manager,Ron Atkinson,as an avuncular,great,down to earth,common sense sort of bloke. A few times,i thought how great it would be to be able to go to him for advice. To point me in the right direction,keep me to the straight and narrow.
I think i would have been prepared to be guided by any advice he gave me,except for,
Hey,Angel. The only game i've been playing with the cards that i've been dealt,is Solitaire.
What would i change in my life? If i could turn the clock back,i would'nt have bought a Vauxhall Vectra last year,on my brothers advice,instead of the car of my own choice,a Ford Focus.
To be fair to my bro,it did seem like a good car,on the face of it. T reg. Only 2 owners from new,and they were father & son. 2 litre diesel,70.000.miles. And the price was right.
But i've had expensive problems with it,and it has never performed the way a 2 litre car should.
Last friday though,i took my car to a small,privately owned garage,about booking it in for a winter service,and told the owner/mechanic about my dissatisfaction with the car. He put it on the computer,and said it's showing no faults,but lets take it for a run.During the run,he agreed with me that the car was "a bit flat",and upon consulting his computer again (which was plugged into the console),he said the 'airflow monitor',was only working at 60%. But he said he could sort it for me,for £80+vat.
Well,i dropped the car off at his garage this morning,and he said he will ring me this P.M,when it's ready. Now,all i can do is wait,and keep my fingers crossed. Keep yours crossed for me too,Angel.
Sorry,Tamarin.I'm just kidding. I would'nt necessarily be concerned that this guy logs on to CS. A lot of people log on for the 'company',and the 'chat'. I mean,as i understand it,you haven't actually met yet,have you? Maybe you should take it from there,and see how things go.
I think this is the 'change we need',the new cabinet that Leisure 07 has got lined up,for when he deposes Gordon Brown,and becomes President For Leisure.
Out,with the boring old remits, of Minister For Defence,Minister For Health,Minister For Housing,etc,etc.
And In,with his new, refreshing,innovative, and ground breaking portfolios for Presidents.
SB,you say you have a less than comprehensive grasp of the nature of your new responsibilities,as President Of The Day. So,it looks as though some things will never change.
Thankyou,Anglophile. You are discharging your duties exactly as i knew you would. With efficiency,and aplomb. I have given the order to weigh anchor,and we are now bound for Antigua. Did you remember to remove Kevina's gag?
Man comes down from his hotel room,and orders breakfast.
Waiter: "Good Morning,sir. What would you like?"
Man: "2 charred rashers of bacon,2 sausages,burnt on one side,and uncooked on the other.Cindered toast,and 2 fried eggs,with the yolks burst,and the whole lot swimming in grease."
Waiter: "I'm sorry,sir. But we could'nt possibly serve up a meal like that."
