Drop Bear: It's a Taurus PT92 ^^.

Keo: But why? D: Poor Tory's all alone, in her safe, feeling all alone and unloved x3.

From what I've heard the reliability or the older, older Beatle's were pretty horrid, I'll take a newer one that looks like the older one xD. The new generation just... doesn't look good. It looks like a chubby newborn.

the reliability is bad because they're 50 years old and people didn't look after them properly.
the 'new' beetles are ugly, but they're just a normal car under the bonnet, they're nothing like the old beetles.

Poor things. Older cars can be troublesome to maintain, I'm guessing lack of parts, old parts, and now ancient parts or something.

I'd love to own and have a older car (thirty+) to work on and play with. A old Bentley, Jaguar, Mercedes, Rolls Royce, basically some older luxury car.

They're very comfy! Otherwise, ew... I could never bring myself to drive one.

depends what the car is, some cars just look like classics, and they're much more fun to drive than modern cars, i learnt ina modern car. it just feels like pressing buttons, but an old car is like you're pushing and pulling leavers that control the engine there is MORE driving involved. and I love driving.

So very, very, true!

I despised every fiber of driving (talking to you, car) but once I got behind the wheel of a five-speed everything changes. It was moving from digital to analog. I was interacting with the car, and there's been a wealth of conversations with manual transmission cars. Automatic transmissions and flappy paddles be damned!

Plus, you can do a mighty good drift in a rear-wheeled five speed. You can't do a double clutch kick in a Clio.

Even some of today's newer cars that are manual don't feel as good as the old ones though. Though I adore my brother's Honda Fit (manual) it just doesn't have that same rustic feel. The gearbox is simply, too... futuristic? I've also driven my friend's RX7 (1982, I believe) and his RX8 (2004?). The RX8 has air conditioning, all of the nice frills, good suspension, fantastic response, and is a lot of fun. His RX7 is a rally car, no air conditioning, rough, tough, and brutal. I love the RX7 to death and I'd choose it over the RX8 in a moment.

Gaaah! I want my new 240sx right noooowz! Look at what you've done x3.

in the UK we drive manuals. its very rare for someone to drive an automatic. But you can get manuals with break and stearing assistants.

Sorry!! go get your car, IDK what time it is but you need to man up get a loan and get your car! >:D YOLO!!

I honestly understand how we've gotten so far away from manuals. Driving more enjoyable with one, you have to pay more attention, and you get a few extra MPG. I would very much like to spend some time in England again, it's been a few years.

I really should sell my current 240sx first, I don't like to dip into my savings. Once my current 240sx sells I'll have more than enough ^^.

So you've been to england before? Where abouts?

okok plan of action

1. sell the car
2. buy the new car
3. go out and DRIIIVE

I've been four or five times, I believe. I was over for three weeks once, but the other times have been during long layovers on the way to other places, 2-5 days. The farthest north I've been was all the way up the M6 to Bolton. Otherwise I think as far as Exeter, Brighton, and London. I've gone through Oxford, Cambridge, Coventry, Leicester, Sheffield, and loads of other places that aren't crossing my mind right now.

And cheese, there was a wonderful place with cheese. Little old ladies with lots, and lots, of cheese.

I'm currently waiting for a interested buyer to come by ^^. Because of my work schedule (I might be posting from work, actually) I haven't had time to show it to him.

exeter!! *squee* that's the city I shop in. :3 I live on the south devon coast.
I used to live near Oxford too.
Cheese? O.o Sounds like a Devon thing :'D

dang.
OMG idek if im working tomorow *cricricri* i need to go there early and check.

We've probably shopped down the same streets x3. Wandering, wandering, and more wondering. If you're a beach sort of person, it sounds like a absolutely lovely place.

How do you end up living in such lovely places? I have dead grass, limestone, and I'm surrounded rednecks.

I just remember the cheese x3.

Work or sleep in? Choose the second one!

Well, I took photographs in the Princess Hay dressed as princess peach and I got kicked out. ;) My princess foot must have touched the street where your foot did O_O

And we live here because my dad retired from the raf. And its a nice place to live :) I think somebody needs to emigrate to the UK.

Dang I chose the first option, i used a lime body wash to wake me up.

As this is a picture thread:

towel turban!! :3

The Princesshay? I found refuge in a internet cafe there :3. Aw... but why? What's wrong with Peach? D: Bastards!

More than likely I'd think, I walked about for hours without really any intention of paying attention to where I was. Got turned around a lot, decided that was just fine with me.

RAF? That's really cool ^^. All I can think of now is Spitfires.

It would be a great experience to get a visa and stay over for a few years. Not sure if I could ever make it permanent. I know I at least want to move somewhere cloudier, rainier, and colder x3.

A blue monster has attached itself to your head! Soon you'll be entirely made out of blue cotton?

I suppose I concede...
I don't much care for mornings.

It's morning for Fluffy also.

And my newest experimental venture: wine. Getting close to bottling time :D.


Well that's at least half a dozen pages of no need to post photos for me x3.

O_O
OMG!! Bunny!! <3 Squeee!

:'D litterally too cute. x3

And my dad never flew planes just fixed stuff on the ground. >.< but idk how much I'm allowed to talk about his job :p So I'll talk about mine instead.
omg D: the tents are selling so cheap, idk how I even managed to make £700+ in four hours today. O_O Dayaaam.

In September I'm moving out to study in Somerset which is next to Devon where I currently live. but I plan to work in America for a couple of years just for the experience. I plan to teach art, i know american teachers aren't payed brilliantly but i just want to live ina different country for a bit because I've never had the oppertunity to really leave the country much and I've never been outside of europe. I've only been to Italy and Spain on school trips so i don't count those.

Oh and i think it was because i was taking photographs on private property and it wasn't Princess Hay it was the Guildhall I just remembered. Shoot. Still illegal apparently. :( I was only dressed as princess peach because my friend was doing ashoot too. But I slipped away for an hour to do my shoot. This was for photography. I better have got a good grade :( I'm hoping for a B.

Oh gosh :'D I bet your wine is lethal.

I've dubbed her the 'Dark Lord Fluffy' [because apparently "Bunny" doesn't count as a proper name]. She'll draw in you in with her cuteness and then, you're all hers.

The experience of working on Typhoons, Harriers, Tornadoes, or whatever else the RAF has in their arsenal still sounds like a lot of fun.

You made £700 in a day? That's a load of cash! I take it Devon's smothered with camping grounds?

Sumersets so pretty x3. Lucky you, lucky you! Okay, most of England is pretty when you chop out the industrial areas. Prettier than Dallas. Dallas is hideous. If you can find a job as a college professor the pay can be quite generous! Our public school's aren't great to teach at, or even be around. There's plenty of great universities around though. Some are quite wonderful.

I'd do it ^^. Getting out of your usual environment, or wherever you grew up, is a great experience. Italy's a wonderful country! Filled with history, architecture, and all that good stuff. I'd count it. I didn't like Venice too much though, smelled off.

Guildhall? I don't think I know where that is ><. Aw... unfortunate. I don't necessarily understand why it's such a big deal, folk over here can be rather sanguinary about it. You'd think there was a witch burning. At least you got your photos! Hopefully you get a good great x3.

Ye of so little faith. I'll have you know I don't think it's that lethal, but maybe a wee bit. My cooking's pretty good, and it's much the same. Follow the recipe. A friend and I have decided to start brewing, he recently finished his mead. Which came out rather swell. I want to do lagering next.


I did happen to take a picture of my breakfast x3.

I rest my case!

Awh so cute well I am renaming her fluffuls.
i Sold £700+ of stuff but idk how much of that is profit for the company, minus my wages for the day at about £24 ish.

I went to Venice, but we went around easter time, not the height of summer, it didn't smell at all. I swear you stalk me ;) Going to all the places I go to. Naughty!

Guildhall is the other indoor shopping bit in exeter where Primark is :D Primark = Cheap ass clothing.

omfg that looks so tastey. I can cook really well, but I'm too lazy and too health conscious to properly cook. I just try and take in the minimum amount of food i can get away with.

I'll let her know, I'm not sure how she'll react. Have you seen Monty Python Search for the Holy Grail? She's sort of like that. If I am disemboweled... well, you know.

If you're selling that much stuff, either way they should give you a raise x3.

Odd, odd, odd. I went around the same time, years ago. It could have just been me, picky sense of smell and such. Stalker? D: That sounds slanderous! Why, I'd never.

Primark? I'll have to remember that ^^. Is too much effort shopping though, I feel so worn out afterwords.

Aw... just go wild sometime, go to the grocery, come back, and make something equally unhealthy and tasty! x3 Occasionally treating yourself is a super good thing. What's your favorite thing to cook?

I eat chicken salad sandwiches, salads, and fruit for the weekdays. A tasty dinner and a tasty breakfast/lunch makes the weekend all the better ^^.

Well, this is me, with and without glasses.

And here's a picture of my dog's ERMAHGERD face for good measure.

Admonished: THATS why it reminded me of a Baretta 92! Its the imitation!

Adairu: Your lips! So gorgeous, I wish I had them. So bad.
And I love your glasses too.

Aww, thank you. They're probably my favorite feature on me too.

Uhm, people who work in retail companies don't get 'a raise' I get whatever my pay is i could do badly and i'd get that or i could do really well and i'd get it.

oh primark would wear you out. the staff are unhelpful and the shop is always messy because its huge and the people who shop there have no respect. And they push you. Especially the spanish people on holiday, they have not learnt the word 'excuse me please'.

I like cooking cakes :D I dont do the food shopping I eat whatever has been bought and put in the cupboard. its liek the unspoken rule in my house. but in september i'll be cooking for myself.

I work on the weekends so lunch food is usually a quick sandwhich (cheese and pickle) and some water.

I'd call it a improvement x3. Taurus purchased Beretta's factory and started manufacturing the PT-92, which I like better personally. It's very accurate, low recoil, and very simple to break down and keep clean. Plus it eats through whatever you load it with, even Bulgarian whatever junk rounds. I'll be using it for IDPA competitions.

Keo

Aw... that sounds rather unfair! Do you get bonuses or anything if you sell a ton? If it wasn't for my ethics I'd work in retail and spend work hours napping x3.

That's an exact description of a chain called Ross xD. A lot of immigrants work and shop there, which isn't a bad thing. Some of them are quite rude to me just because I have the skin of a bleached volleyball x3.

Despite what other people are going to tell you, yes cakes can be eaten as meals. Aw... I don't think I could survive on that rule. The cupboards dry anyway, everyone's off on holiday overseas actually. Except me. I have work.

Be sure to let out your inner chef :3.

Just cheese and pickle on bread? That sounds like it'd taste rather off xD.

Omg :'D bleached vollyball, I'm quite pale myself :/ But thats really common where I live i think everyone who doesn't live in the city in Devon is white! x.x

I wish I could eat more cake but, contray to popular belief, I am not one of those girls who can eat whatever she wants and stays skinny. And in my house being chubby if Seriously frowned upon, like if I gained a pound or two I'd be scowled at and comments would be made :(

Yeah its bread (no butter) with a thin spead of chunky pickle (not the green gurhkins, the brown branston type) and a little sprinking of half fat chedder grated. If i rememkebr i pack a cereal bar.

No bonuses o.o what world do you live in?

Anyways, trying to keep on track somewhat:


I think the whole of England is a rather pale place, compared to the rather tanned Texas. The sun's bad for ones skin anyways, isn't it?

Aw. That sounds rather ill, what's wrong with a pound or two? When you move out, treat yourself x3. If you haven't, you could take up running? Then you'll have no reason to not treat yourself to something!

Sounds rather odd, maybe with a slice of tomato and some lettuce. Maybe a dash of mayo.

Earth, or so I've assumed :3. A lot of companies, especially retail chain stores put up bonuses if you do this, make this many sales, have this good of a customer satisfaction, or whatever else the company's trying to achieve. Gives otherwise lazy employees to do better. I suppose it's cheaper to bribe motivation than hire and train someone new? It seems to work, some places are really nice now.
