Keep in mind guns aren't really a part of culture as they are in other areas. (Well, except for LA). So the gun cleaning thing seems kinda strange. I'm a lover, not a fighter.
Like i said, i wouldn't know, no dad has ever felt the need to threaten me, not even those that were known for doing so...

I'm sure they could pay me 20 bucks, but i could never accept it.

And i know , that i could help them because of this, but you know, they never listen to me anyway and never asked me what or where to buy the laptop.
Every so many months something is buggered up and they only call me when something is buggered up.. they never call me for something else.

Since he has the cash to buy one at a store, that store can do the customer service. It's only been a week, so they really should. BF says, well the store is not to friendly.. Well that's a bummer, but i did not pick the store, nor am i responsible for their customer service.


I have to block things like this off from time to time, else i can fix computers for free every evening.. And it really isn't a hobby.
OK, fair enough.

If not buggered off, any fun plans you are developing?
I learned a while ago not to put any plans where they can be hacked back up like a hairball. Lets just say I am simply biding my time.

I had some free time today so I uploaded the photos that Zach Mayne took of my car for the Excellence article (August 2008). It has been a while so I don't think he will mind. Plus I don't think he reads the Stijn thread.

I was only 17 back then! (The photos were taken November 2007.)

You can see the rest here (all of the pictures, not just the ones that made it to Excellence).

Don't try me.
I always told my daughter that if she brought a boy home, I'd go commando and greet him at the door all nuded up. I never got to do it

The buggers got the better of me one day, when one morning I was in the kitchen making breakfast, heard a noise and looked up, there was the now son in law, it took me by surprise but my only response was, 'morning Philip, would you like some breakfast?'

Bugger all you can do about it really. Relationship with my daughter was just starting to come good after all those trying teenage years.

Always a bottle or two of Jose Cuervo at home along with some 1800. One of our favorites.

I got in a fight with tequila when I was in HS and lost. I had one shot in college in a dare, but the was it. Never again.

G'day Max, Dave, D

Sharyn commandeered the laptop to get a FB fix

Been getting into the lemongrass tea before bed. Sleeping much better (it may just be because I'm on holidays but I willing to give it the benefit as I've less of an indigestion problem), thanks Dave.

So I guess Vas should be checking in soon. I wonder how the Turbo is doing?

Haven't heard from Sid in a while. Is he going the way of Markus?
