  1. So, it's Friday 13th. BUUHHHHH SUPERSTITIONS INNIT. Ah well, I got paid, haven't been this rich in... forever. Also overtook an inferior BMW 525i in the D-Torks earlier. Put him in his place* *he may not have been giving the car all it had but he got overtaken ;)
  2. A bad week really. For the last couple of weeks the bus that takes me from outside where I work to the bus station where I get my second bus has been getting increasingly late. Last week took the preverbial pee quite frankly. Monday was a bank holiday. Tuesday the bus was 15 minutes late and I only managed to get my second bus due to the miracle of my second bus breaking down in the station so I had to wait with the other passengers while they sorted out a new bus. Wednesday, bus from work was 20 minutes late, completely missed my second bus by 10 minutes or so, had to make alternative (awkward) arrangements to eventually get home. Thursday I usually get a lift as I did last week. Friday the bus was late again by 20 minutes, I missed my second bus by 10 minutes again. Same arrangements as Wednesday to get home. The week before the bus was also late twice and I missed my second bus on one of those days as well. Timetables state that the bus that picks me up from work will get there at 17:05PM and will get me to the end of the route at 17:40PM which is fine because my second bus gets to the station 10 minutes later. Last week that bus wasn't showing up until 17:25/30PM, which to be honest is crap. I emailed them a complaint and they don't even have a reason for it being that late. Monday and Tuesday this week it got to my stop on-time or early. Today it's back to it's old tricks again. Away from the bus. My grandfather was rushed to hospital on Saturday evening. Well, when I say rushed, apparently 999 was phoned at 6:50PM and a doctor showed up at 7PM which is fine. Then, apparently because it was a Saturday the ambulance had an excuse not to show up until knocking on 9PM and then didn't even bother with sirens or blue flashing lights. According to one of my relatives he got to the hospital and they were throwing my grandfather around like a toy, they apparently knocked his elbow on something, enough to make it bleed quite badly and all they did was put a plaster on which wasn't enough to cover the wound. They then took away (by accident?) his oxygen supply which was the main reason why he was there (Almost went into a coma from a lack of oxygen in his blood). He had to go in to resuscitation because of their cock-ups so far. A long story slightly shorter he's getting better now, he was in his own private room but he's now been moved to a Ward now and is looking a lot better, making jokes, annoying the nurses and complaining he wants to go home. Back to work, today was fun. There's a woman who started at the same time as me doing the same sort of thing as I am. She was in a phone call and started giving out details to someone when she shouldn't have been because they weren't in the right situation to be given details, so my soon-to-be uncle who helped me get the job politely said to her not to give out details unless the person on the phone can do something else for us which they wouldn't, but she keeps on giving out the details of someone else who she thinks will be able to help them but they won't be able to in this case and she has been told the same things many times before. Today she finally (she's been going on for weeks about how she thinks my uncle-to-be hates her and picks on her) snapped and as he walked past her she said "I *swearing* hate the way you speak to me". He didn't hear this but she then decided to get up and walked past him and he asked what he had done wrong and she said the same thing again. Went to our supervisor and that was that. So today I've been sat in an office where there was so much tension in the atmosphere it was unreal. I've probably got to put up with this until September now. If she'd just listen instead of thinking she knows everything then she wouldn't have to be told what she's doing wrong. At least I appear to be doing alright most of the time. tl;dr - Crap couple of weeks in general.
  3. Ahhh, so it is. Kind of embarrased not to know that already but my knowledge of American cars is pretty woeful outside of the one's I like the most.
  4. Mach 1 and Charger, do want. Can't remember the name of the car but I do remember the shape. I know someone who has one like the car in photograph three. It's been sat in a yard with quite a few other classic cars for years and years now. Probably rusted to bits since the last time I saw it.
  5. I vote pancake. Oh wait.. wrong forum. Sorry. No.
  6. God damn, I need to move house. I hardly ever see anything special around here.
  7. I quite like this, I don't like the original however:
  8. Not even going to comment on that "My Jeans" song. I laughed even more at that than Rebecca Black's song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euer_3N4mmY Really digging this album. I was getting fed up of people talking about Sylosis so I decided to see what the fuss was about, now I know what all the fuss is about and it's good.
  9. It looks like it has been driven through Halfrauds due to the wheels, daylight running lights, etc.
  10. I hate how easy it is for you to get leaf-pattern half leathers :( I need them but for a three-door and with side-airbags. Almost impossible. Think I'll settle for half leather, half alcantara ones. Yours look good though, hardly any (if any at all) bolster wear on the driver's seat.
  11. I only really like it for reasons which will become apparent when you see Rihanna in the video. The rest is a bit meh.
  12. Some of the things I saw today, and I can actually post photographs as they weren't moving! Although they aren't as exotic as some of the cars posted in this thread. My neighbour's addition to the show: P1020712 by GTAMADDOG, on Flickr These aren't his, but they were also at the show obviously :p P1020705 by GTAMADDOG, on Flickr P1020701 by GTAMADDOG, on Flickr P1020698 by GTAMADDOG, on Flickr P1020710 by GTAMADDOG, on Flickr P1020718 by GTAMADDOG, on Flickr P1020721 by GTAMADDOG, on Flickr P1020723 by GTAMADDOG, on Flickr And my mum's boyfriend's friend's (???) Jeep which I got a ride in many moons ago or it might not have been, there were a couple of them there so it could've been the other one but it looked exactly the same: P1020732 by GTAMADDOG, on Flickr Some other's on my FlickR which I'm going to save from spamming the forum with.
  13. 6.31 Download, 0.37 Upload. Standard... Also completely rubbish...
  14. Just bought Shift 2 and Crysis 2 off the EA Store for £24 thanks to the Easter Sale and then a £10 off promotional code I found. Sequel-tastic. Now to wait through the slow process of downloading them both on Stone-Age internet.
  15. This is the last thing I bought but I can't provide a photo of it's physical self, only a print-screen as it was a digital download :p http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x104/GTAMADDOG/mithrassandsoftime.jpg -- OLD IMAGE REMOVED (imageshack) --I've been waiting for it to be in stock again on the band's website so I could have a physical copy. I've waited months on end so I've ended up assuming that it's never going to be in stock again but they've added it to iTunes, Amazon and some other places. -- OLD IMAGE REMOVED (imageshack) --
  16. Nothing to be ashamed about owning really. If I remember correctly the 75 was voted as the car with the best ride quality in Auto Expess' latest Driver Power Survey. That's even up against the likes of cars that were only brought out last year. Nothing to be sniffed at :cool:
  17. No more work for four days. Yay, no angry people shouting at me because they don't know what to do with a pigeon. Oh and I get paid for being in bed all day tomorrow and Monday. Suits me.
  18. This is now £18 on the EA Store thanks to the Easter Sales. Someone please, please talk me out of buying it because over the last two weeks I've read about so many people having access to their games removed and whatever else for remotely saying something bad about them (EA or one of their games). Really want to try it though :/
  19. Still prefer their older stuff but this song is one of my favourites from their newest album:
  20. Opposite for me, it makes me feel lethargic and fed up and I generally hate more than one day of sun but then again I'll complain about anything :p
  21. Samantha or Sammy. /boring suggestion. Here's a photo I took on my iPhone just over a month ago: IMG_0061 by GTAMADDOG, on Flickr
  22. ...I got home 10 minutes earlier because the train is awesome-skates. Had a cup of tea on the desk with the computer ready to launch a game before I'd normally be seen walking up the road :p
  23. Two sides to this. See Good Day thread for other half. Missed my second bus back from work as my first one was so frickin' slow. I decided to get the train for a change and this cost me £6.20 which is extortionate, but...
  24. One I took about 30 minutes ago (best I could do handheld at 1/40): P1020667 by GTAMADDOG, on Flickr Some of my cats from a few weeks ago: P1020617 by GTAMADDOG, on Flickr P1020612 by GTAMADDOG, on Flickr P1020621 by GTAMADDOG, on Flickr
