You Know You're A Bad Mum When.....

[gness]

....you decide to let Dave drive your Honda Civic and worry more about that than you did when your children went off to Uni..... ;-)

[anneasquith]

Dave is your SON ?

[gness]

Not quite, Anne....temporary toyboy......x

[andy-hughes]

Oi!!! I am here you know …… !!!!


(xx)

[anneasquith]

What, use him until a younger model arrives ? Well done .

[tonyav]

I'm sure that he treated it as he would his own, gness.

[gness]

And I'm now behind Alisha Dixon in the queue, Andy! ;-)

Until he catches me up, Anne.....he relishes these few months....x

Hmmm.....I hope not, Tony....you know his car....well mine doesn't do things like that! And I have a clutch....and a gear stick! And I'm not sure that when he gets in he gives it a pat and says...Gabriel...you are a lovely car.... :-(

[tonyav]

Gabriel...you are a lovely car.... :-(

LOL.

[sunny-dave]

Look - I contributed to Gabriel's full set of new boots today (to celebrate passing his MoT with flying colours - no mean feat when you've nearly reached the age of consent). I think he's a lovely car.

PS : I think the chap at the garage meant the car (rather than the driver) when he opined "It's a long while since I've seen one that old in such a tidy condition .... "

[tonyav]

Did Gabriel go faster with the new boots on, Dave.

[gness]

Hmmmm...guess who's sleeping in the shed tonight!!!!

[sunny-dave]

Not had a chance to find out yet, Tony - but apparently the steering is 'a bit more precise'.

I'd forgotten how reasonable tyres are for 'normal' cars - a set of nice, new Avons cost less than one lump of Pirelli exotica would for my S5.

[tonyav]

Yep, rubber band sizes are pretty reasonable in comparison, Dave.

but apparently the steering is 'a bit more precise'.


Mmmm, I always like it when a car goes where you point it.

"20:51"

Gabriel? ;)

[gness]

Tell you what, Tony....bloody men! When we collected Gabriel the mechanic looked at Dave and said.....it's been years since I have seen a car this age in such fantastic condition..... Looked at Dave!!!!!!

Hang on, Sweetie....I said.....this is my car! Nothing to do with toyboy here..... :-)

[andy-hughes]

gness - // And I'm now behind Alisha Dixon in the queue, Andy! ;-) //

I've told you, your place at the head of the queue is unassailable, always was, always will be xxxxx

Now, about the 'toy boy' you've found ….

[Arksided]

Gness... OP like it lol.

[gness]

Spath....I bought, new, one of the first Honda Civics made in the UK. It was a lemon....a demon of a car so I named it Damien.

I soon got rid of it but bought another new Honda Civic as the chances of two lemons was slight and I love Hondas.....this one has been a dream......the car God made I was told recently.....so I named it Gabriel after the angel..... :-)

[gness]

Phew...that's a relief, Andy.....I'll lock toyboy in the shed....xxx

Hi, Ark....all well with you?..x

Tony.....I don't even have to point Gabriel.....we have a relationship....he just knows.....bliss.... :-)

[choux]

I thought you named it that because you blow your horn a lot ...

[Arksided]

All well and good here Gness, thank you Xx... I've being hitting the sauce a bit too much lately but not strong stuff like spirits etc... but looking on facebook all family seems fine as well :-)
