I do like gta now having a vauxhall corsa C. The funny thing is it's called the 'asbo' 🤣. The back actual looks a little like my mk6 fiesta. 

I absolutely peed myself when I found it on GTA yesterday. I instantly knew it was a Corsa. 

I do like that there's now a Mk2 Escort in the game (Retinue MkII) which will go nicely with my MkI. 

@zain611 You should see the unreleased vehicles that are coming. There's an old style Honda Civic (1980s) along with a new Civic, an original Scooby Doo (Subaru Impreza 22b), 2 Formula 1 style cars (possibly F3) and a new improved DB5 (JB700W) .

    I do like getting the all clear from the doctor further to a cancer scare.  Still got lots of problems in my life but at least now I've (hopefully) got a lot of time to deal with them.

  • I do like finally finishing a model kit I first started 5 and a half years ago.  It's a very special model that i was supposed to finish by the time the aircraft took her final flights across the UK

I like how our driveway now contains almost all the Ecoboost engines, 1.0, 2.0 and 2.3. Just need a 1.5 to complete the mix.

Which one? There are two 1.5s and don't forget about the 1.6 😉

Oh there is a V6 Ecoboost too 😄

I always forget there’s a 4 cylinder and a 3 cylinder one. I discounted the 1.6 because you can’t get it anymore. Also I’d need to win the lottery to get the V6 as I don’t think we get the Raptor 😂?

Yeah I just saw those unreleased cars. Think I'm going to go for the old and new style civics 😂. Might get that corsa also. What's different with the new JB700? 

I've kind of got bored with GTA as it just gets repetitive. I mainly just go in a public solo lobby and do my business works.

The 3.5L twin-turbo V6 Ecoboost is sweet, I've driven the Explorer Sport, it pulls like a jet. The whooshing sound during acceleration is so nice, that I'm almost torn between that and a NA v8

There's other Fords other than the Raptor that have the 3.5L V6: F150 (current), Taurus SHO (discontinued), Taurus PI (discontinued??), Fusion Sport (discontinued), Explorer Sport (current) to name a few off the top of my head.

The States has far more interesting cars than over here, and more engine choices. You can even get an Escape (Kuga) with the 2.0 Ecoboost.

@Nick Y just hopped on. Really love the new ifruit radio and that it's off from London music. Was surprised to hear kitchen Kings on the radio. For some reason I don't have the option to buy the asbo, the option doesn't highlight when I go over it. Probably going to wait until I see Lester

There will be 2 prices, standard and trade. Trade price is only unlocked when you have completed the casino heist as host and used those cars (sourced during the prep missions).
Also, to buy it now, you'll need to select the colour before you click buy it now.

Thanks nick. I forgot to select the colour first 😅. Kind of feels like a dream come true hearing London grime music I normally hear on the radio on GTA

I do like having just completed six night shifts which result in nine days pay, 

I also like only having two more work days to complete this year.

And if your still reading; I do also like having just received from Amazon this "Still Animation kit" for my two daughters

They have a dolls house with lots of barbie and L.O.L they can now create there own animation videos with voices and text using this kit from Amazon and there computer, 

Our son also has a few Lego characters and dinosaurs which can also be used to keep them all entertained, well worth the few quid.

I'm now going to relax and enjoy the first episode of series 4 of the Grand Tour 

And I'm looking forward to getting sedated next Thursday to have a rear tooth or what is left of it removed having injured the pain since February 2018 its really gotten severely worse recently; to the point now that I can barely chew anything on the left side, 

My Christmas present to myself is to be put asleep and woken when it's over, 

Fill the black one; and remove everything that is left of the tooth behind the black one:

do ilke that the dummys in halfords still cant work out 15% discount with the foc discount card. he realised after he gave me my change. lol 

it wasnt even close, worked out at just over 35% off.  shame it was only some wheel cleaner and some wheel sealant. 

@iantt would you buy this if I made this 🤣. This guy not far from me is selling it. Think I'm going to adopt this as my own business.

Try a different fruit? This is my Bramley masterpiece. 

I'm naming it after my son "Adam" 

So it's "Adams apple"

Does anyone understand the taped banana thing?  I know art is meant to be personal but honestly people have paid £150k for the real ones... :laugh:

 

Hopefully better than the snowman's business

😂 thanks for that mate,

The wife had a YouTube video before "smashed television screen" sent me a picture of it around one week after I fitted it in our bedroom; said our son was playing and his spiderman action figure hit the television.

I was almost crying 😅

Eating on the right side only,

Had a breakfast roll the other day yes I'm Irish 😅 had to use a knife and fork to put it all on the right side of my mouth, 

I'd love a Chinese takeaway but last time a grain of rice went in to the nerve and took two days of swishing listerine to get it out. 

Wife made lasagna last night but I couldn't have it incase the mince went in there; cant wait to be put to sleep Thursday and have it extracted, 

The root is next to my nazel track according to there xray and explains why my left nostril runs when the pain gets intense.

I've also pains in my liver from over dosing on nurofen extreme strength tablets there 400mg one to be taken every six hours, 

Pain was that bad last sunday I eventually ended up taking five in two hours just to make it stop, I hadn't intended doing that just took one then waited a bit then another; couldn't talk 

I do wonder how homeless people would survive tooth pain, bad enough being on the streets and battling the cold without excruciating pain too.

I've had a fractured pelvis, broken collarbone twice but toothache is the worst i could use Tramadol or diclac and the Dentist wanted to see me again before giving stronger pain killers,

I can fit the entire head of a cotton ear bud inside the tooth I'm like "hello" 

Roll on next Thursday I'll be "as grand as a bag of cans on the canal" 😂

@Lenny I'm getting root canal work done on Tuesday! Hopefully put an end to the pain I've been having recently. Doesn't sound as bad as yours though 😉 

I do like going to Halfords (bear with me), to get some plates for my new plate holders and getting some nice metallic metal ones for the same price (15% discount ofc), as I paid for some basic acrylic ones last time. I don't know if they made a mistake or that's just what they use as standard now, really impressed with the quality, much better than before and they look great in the holders with no visible fixings 😁
