.....:happybday::happybday:.....Happy Birthday Buddy.....:happybday::happybday:

Very cute, cheeky little chappy....lol, how old is he now bud?

Good luck, I hope everything turns out well for you and you get what is righfully yours back.

Very sorry to hear about your mum bud. I lost my job due to disability, then lost my brother and my dad 16 months apart, but you pick yourself up and get on with life, you have to, no-one is going to do it for you. But I didn't stop communicating with people, or letting people down because of this, it's at times like these that one needs friends. As you say bud, I too am sure my brother and dad are not too far away.

Good bargain there Allan. They are a good car mate.

Cool, glad you got it sorted bud.

Yeah, great episode, don't like the fact that Clarkson throws the targa over the cliff though, jealous git.....lol

Give Keith a shout bud, he will know a way, mine of information......lol

NNNNAAAA your age fits you.......lol

Buy my car, it would be the Stagea lifestyle then......lol

Cheers for your kind words Richard, and yes, I think a revolution is needed too.

I agree there is very little or no respect left from some children these days, it's all these do gooders saying you can't chastise your kids, and parents making excuses for their childrens horrible behaviour and trying to blame others for it. As you quite rightly say Jeff, don't get me started on teachers!!! However, I do sympathise with some of the kids these days. Ian Jr. just had a prom night, however his school know that their pupils that attend (only the good ones, if any of them have done anything untoward they will not be invited) will be on their best behaviour, so much so that they hire Haydock racecourse hotel as the venue for the senior prom, and have a proper sit down meal. Yes, I also agree that it is very American, we are only ever a few years behind the States in whatever we do. But the good kids deserve something to remember at leaving school age. Ian Jr. had his prom the other night, no doubt you have seen the photo's, and yes we did shell out for a nice suit, and we hired him a Lamborghini, all in recognition of his exam results, believe me, if he had have had bad school results, he would not have got what he did. The other point that I would like to bring up, is the price of car insurance for youngsters. People wonder why young kids are driving around in new cars, well the new car that they have purchased with the free insurance is probably cheaper to buy than trying to get insured with a second hand car. I actually got an insurance quote for Jr. the other week, I stated that he was 17, no no claims discount as he has just passed his test (he hasn't, and isn't 17 until January) but I thought I would give it a go. Would anyone like to guess the first quote I got back for a Fiat Chinquito (that is probably not spelled right) but you know, the smallest Fiat. £13,500!!! Where the hell do they get that from out of a £400.00 car? It is absolutely rediculous, so youngsters don't have much of an option these days. They either drive around with no insurance, or drive a new car, I know I would rather see Jr. in a new car and fully insured. I would never let him out on the road without insurance, so that is possibly the better option for us. Something that could never be said about my two (I hope) is that they don't respect grown ups, they always have and always will as far as I am concerned, unless a grown up is disrespectful to them, because some grown ups tar all teenagers with the same brush, which is wrong. We never get dictated to by our children, they do as they are told. I know others on here who have children that are really good kids, KJZ32 Keith's family are great, and would never disrespect an adult in any way shape or form. There are plenty of others as well, Gary Wilson, his lad was great at JAE, so yeah they may get a little extra at times, but only because they have deserved it.
