I love em. Huge presence, sound great, look mean - they're just totally OTT. But then, I still enjoy watching Bruce Lee in Enter the Dragon (I discovered recently) Laughing

Despite having big engines they aren't that powerful. A lot of ordinary cars would destroy it.

With no corners and a population that accepts atrocious build quality because they're buying 'merican.

To me, they're all about putting superchargers on, and generally tuning the nuts off. They're not supposed to be real-world useable, just scary Twisted Evil

Get down to a supermarket. Get some bags, one for each member of your family. Give each person a bag. Tell them that's their luggage limit. Sorted. Very Happy

What's grinding my gears is that me and the neighbours have this thing where we mow each other's front lawns if we're out doing it. Unfortunately, they seem to think it needs mowing every other week, whereas, although I wouldn't let it get too scruffy, I'm a bit more relaxed about it. Consequently, it's always them that does it.

In a way, I'm grateful, because it's one thing that really kills my back. Otoh, sometimes I'm ok to do it, but they always get in there first. It's making me look lazy (I don't need any help with that Laughing ).

And everyone else round here has immaculate and colourful gardens, whereas I don't always feel fit enough to do that kind of work, and anyway, have you seen the price of plants and shrubs these days? Shocked Can't afford to get it all paved over, either.

In short, I don't feel right living in a nice neighbourhood.

Word of the day: whereas.

Me once per year with the Kawasaki Strimmer. Preferably when the Gnomes have their washing hanging out (which is several times a day) spraying green mulch all over the place. Good times.

Buying a Topic, and finding that it's totally changed to how they were.

It's something I've noticed myself doing more and more, so thought I might as well capitalise on it Smile
