I've posted in 999 different topics, but I haven't found the right one to be number 1000.

That's what I'd do if I were going to buy a car. Test out the ones that I'd be interested in, but getting a feel of it by yourself.

Heh, yeah. I condensed it (I do that a lot, actually). We must have clicked at the same time, I think.

Good that the last test was pleasant for you.

I guess you'd have to bite the salesman bullet for some of the others then.

I recall my family testing out a Honda Prelude a long time ago, but the salesman didn't come along (I guess 4 seats and 4 family members limited that, heh). We got it. That was a pretty cool car until it got written off.

I'm pretty sure my local dealer doesn't have a 300 to test drive which will make things mighty difficult.

I stared at a paper bag made from old newspapers in a cathedral shop this afternoon, it was 50p which I thought was extortionate for something that couldn't be used in rainy Scotland.

I really hope that parents don't start naming their children after body parts. That would be freaky.

My boss just sneezed and I said "Excuse you!". I meant to say "Bless you!" Totally different things.

...so the all new II class opened by the bald guy to supposedly take strain off of the existing, overcrowded II classes has now become jam packed itself.
it wouldn't be so bad if the room wasn't incredibly stuffy and the size of a damn shoe box, with decade old drawings, math scrawlings on the crumbling walls and sports related newspaper clippings plastered friggin everywhere.

i guess a plus is that it has its own bathroom, only one in the entire establishment to have its own - not that i'd ever use it of course when there's a much bigger one a few meters away.

might as well stayed with Castro.

Every time I see a word that starts with 'au' or has 'ism' in it, I automatically think it's about Autism (and I live in 'Au'stralia).

Not sure. The JavaScript in the browser was working fine for the timer but I guess wasn't working well enough to update me on someone outbidding me. I've heard of people using software that places bids at the last possible second, so that may have been the case as well.

This is why I usually go for the Buy It Now option. I was only bidding on this because it was ridiculously cheap compared to the ones listed with a Buy It Now option.

Oh. Like being in the lead for a race and then losing by a nose and the last second. Don't you hate it when that happens?
