Things That Gladden The Heart

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Since we are still on the 14th February...I reflect (as ever on the 14th Feb) that it was on this day 38 yrs ago - well probably at about 1am on the 15th, that I met the girl I'd marry at a Valentines Day Party my mates were having in their shared house in Bristle - that became an engagement party for my mate Bill and his intended Lizzie. Bill was a big, funny, brilliant Irish lad who very sadly passed away a good few years ago now - he was a grand fella and a very useful golfer. I can't believe that lovely blond lass agreed to hitch up with me - of all people - and stick with me through plenty thick and thin these last 38yrs - and on we plough - to infinity and beyond

Chinese New Year today, I looked up what my birth element/animal is. Turns out I'm a Fire Tiger! Pretty sweet.

Wife was not best pleased when I walked in and called her a Metal Horse just now.

Finished the round today and a couple of lads I have not seen since I finished at Harworth in 2006 came up to me and gave me a cuddle in the 19th. Twas nice to see them doing well.

Time to start looking for a car for my lad. Need to get my mechanic’s head back on.

Teenager? There is only one choice, surely? Vauxhall Corsa. All you need to supply is the 4 inch tailpipe.

Absolutely not. He will be getting something safer like a Polo.

He wants a 1 series BMW but told him if he gets one, he will be paying the insurance. Looked it up and suddenly doesn't want a 118 any more!

When my daughter was getting her first car we encouraged her to look at the insurance side of things as a central part of the process. You really have to for young drivers.

She bought a Yaris, it has been brilliant for her. You don't get many boy racers in a Yaris

My daughter wanted an Audi A1 I told her the same thing you’re insuring it yourself then!, She ended up with a Fiat 500 and she absolutely loved it and lasted her a good 5 years, she now upgrade herself into an Evoque !

Don't get many in a 95HP Polo either.

Just got my daughter a Citroen, well she choose it out of the options I gave her.

She asked for a Range Rover Autobiography.
I offered her Steve Gerard’s autobiography instead .

Absolutely buzzing for him

I have found a nice little white Polo 1.0 TSI R-Line, 2019 with only 34k on it.

Looks like a short search, assuming it’s not a bag of spanner’s.

Have you considered a Fabia?
Much the same mechanicals, a bit more space and probably cheaper.

Yes, his response was “fugly”.

I remember when I was young, you found the car you wanted and then sought out the cheapest insurance. Now you have to find what car the cheapest insurance covers.
