I get 53.5mpg driving a 7.5 tonne, 5.6 litre V6 petrol engined A class at a steady 75mph. What's more I drive from Calais to Alicante using non-toll roads in only 4 hours without ever exceeding 1500rpm, and that's including my hour-and-a-half lunch break. I see your visiting us on April 1......................................

Pusser my boy, are you telling us that you aren't well? Hearing that would bother me, even though we have never met, as far as we know. It's quite possible that we met in The Royal Oak, The Ship, or the Black Swan or indeed any number of other pubs with generic names. This would have to have been before you were called Pusser to explain why I didn't recognise your name this time around. Assuming we have met. If not I look forward to meeting you. Probably, almost certainly. Whose round is it? Alan. If memory serves it was the Ship and the THree Crowns down the Barbican in Guz. I was Pusser then. I have always been Pusser since leaving boarding school where I was know as Droopy and then Yogi. I must have resembled an impotent Teddy Bear. Anyway, it's all coming back to me. It was your round.

22.5 mpg Mainly due to very short journeys and inactivity cos of my diseased body. However, I am selling this car, buyer arrives Wednesday when I hope he will be smitten by my silk tongue. I have already bought it's replacement. An old one which should manage the annual pilgrimage to France and a couple of jaunts to the Corny \ South Hams and local Tescos. If I get better I will reconsider but although I am on a roll now, (hence loads of crap posted) the pattern is I will be back to zilch at some point and hopefully not the all the first week of last years holiday in France which I spent looking at the ceiling of the mobile home through half closed eyes. I don't want pity. All I want is understanding, empathy, a shoulder to cry on, the Samaritans phone number, gifts, money and diazipan and a razor blade to cut my wrists if I get pissed off. (Can't find a violin smiley. What a website) We don't allow diseased people here in the South Hams. Still, if you're buying? Let me know if you're heading this way. Note to self. Tell local police to practice Stinger deployment. Well, it won't be this year as things stand. Hopefully next year. I do need some sort of guarantee that you will not get me pissed and and abuse my body. Or smuggle me into Eastern Europe to be bought as a slave. Other than that I am filled with confidence.

I am indeed, by which time I hope that Swift have delivered the four new bed legs to replace the poorly designed ones under warranty.

@ Seannachie. Thanks for that but I couldn't understand how to use them so I resorted to Firefox addon. I have put the smileys in place but I must have stuck them on the wrong post. As a matter of interest, what Firefox addon is that? (Note to Tuggles: I said 'addon' not 'strapon' so please don't get excited.)

As a matter of interest, what Firefox addon is that? (Note to Tuggles: I said 'addon' not 'strapon' so please don't get excited.) It is creatively named Smiley Sidebar. It pops up, (View, Sidebar -click) and simply click on chosen smiley. There are others if you search in FF for smileys which may even be better but I have not tried them. (This is not stereotyping) Tugs going to work.....

Actually I have to point my arse towards the mainsail. A good old fart really gets her going. No MPG issues, that's why I love the concept of sailing.
P.S. I really like those smileys, brightens the posts no end.
I wonder if I can access any for my Mac.

It was great being a Captain. Nothing to do with all that gold braid, just glad not to have to take a turn in the barrel any more.

I see you still have your captains "Summer" Uniform in your new Avatar. Very fetching. Hope the solar panel installation is going well! He will be gone for ours chaps. What else can we do?

I doubt anyone would want to buy a sick old matelot like you, so it wouldn't be worth the trouble. Therefore you are safe. Shame about the potential piss-up though, hadn't had one of those for years. Do let me know if ever you're heading this way though, and that offer applies to other selected fruitcakes. Admin didn't make the cut. Didn't even get close. Haha, that'll teach the fecker to mess with my avatar. P.S. How did you get hold of that photo, you bugger, you been hacking my Photobucket account again?

You cannot possibly have fitted that solar panel yet. Get back out there and finish it!
