If I was my brother I'd be asking 'any shàgging in it?'

You should tell your brother you don't need to go to the cinema to see shagging any more, since the cine camera was invented it's been available for home use in many formats.

I'm reliably informed the first 2 cine cameras ever sold were used for POV and one on a tripod.

TBF, it's a family meme from our teenage years. We've all had full sex with a woman since.

25 years ago I volunteered at a national trust property to help with some maintenance, I was 32 at the time.

These 2 lads about 17-18 years old started giving me "advice" as they were old hands having volunteered at many NT properties, one of them said, yes we've been on some jobs where we had to stay overnight.

Then he nodded towards the other lad and said, see him , the last job we did we had to share a dorm, he slept , next - to - a - girl .

I thought he was taking the **** until I saw that "oh yes" look on his face.

I think if I'd told him what I'd been doing with girls his head would've exploded

At the other end of the scale worked with this guy who was a bit of mummy's boy, lived at home, and was training this lass up (on Novell, so was a while ago) and thought the way to her heart was showing her videos of people being shât on and watersports etc....

Urgh....

What
Isn't it time you changed your signature picture to a pipe and slippers to go with your new car.
Nothing wrong with a Jaguar XF matey.
Mine has been so good in a year im really fancying an XK or XKR type X150.

"Whatever" ;)



I'm annoyingly pleased with mine. From the inside.....

C

I came close to buying an XFR but a mate with a 4.2 put me off with tales of woe , I dont think they're any worse than the germans for reliability
See those men who drive American cars and go 'oh look at me, I like American things now'?

Well that's you that is and so's this!

I dont regret buying a mustang one bit , I love driving my american car , probably as much as ghibli drivers enjoy driving their chrysler 300 , I dont know what the levante is but my guess is something american, they're everywhere.

I was doing History Today, The Mary Whitehouse Experience. I've had 4 Yank cars, all Cadillacs, a 63 Convertible, 73 Sedan, 75 Fleetwood and an 05 CTS. I'm hankering after a 61 Coupe de Ville..

I am off to see LeMans66 tonight at The Odyssey, St Albans, a revamped 1930’s delight with proper comfy seats. My preference would have been The Rex in Berkhamsted, which is also a 1930’s wonder with exec chairs and tables, bar service and cheese and biscuits served at you table. Can’t wait - wife is driving so a few beers can be sunk !

I prefer to watch films in the comfort of my own home. Too many antagonistic issues that would drive me partly insane at a cinema. I have to endure a view visits with kids parties etc. but it is rare.

If I can build a new house and the planning dept let us build it big enough there certainly will be a cinema room and a snooker room. If they don't let us then I'll have to knock up some external fancy sheds to do the same.
If you go on AV Forums. Plenty of people have built there own “shed” cinema rooms. This advice comes with a wallet emptying warning though. Some are professional install quality builds.
