Here's another one for you -

Ball dress for works Christmas Ball £250 (what's wrong with the one you wore last time? - slap)

Shoes to go with dress £100 (Whats wrong with green shoe's with a blue dress? - slap)

New earings and necklace £80 (I can get you a pearl necklace cheaper than that - slap)

Hair do £60 (bit o hairspray look lovely - slap)

handbag and accessories £150 (whats wrong with the other 60 bags upstairs? - slap)


The look on your wife's face when you tell her that you've ordered some shock's for the car that "only cost £250!" - priceless


Oh, and I just found out she cancelled the order - cow

I laughed out loud, eerily familiar!!

Though my missis said she will forgive me if I buy her some overalls with her name embroidred on them, so she can help!?

I did quite well Xmas 02 - bought her an eternity (and it is!) ring for a hundred quid, and she said to go and buy some seats (320 quid)

Xmas 03, I bought her a necklace and bracelet (500 quid) and she moaned that I was spending 75 quid on bits for me exhaust.

Go figure

I tried that, and a job at Mc donalds, found they've all been taken by 17 yr old boy racers.

How can they afford to get full body kits, respray's, lowered suspension and a stereo you can hear in france, when I'm struggling to find 50 quid for some bushes??????

Whats going on!


DOH! just realised why - married. killer

What is it with these fellas with the saxos and corsas, they must spend thousands on their wagons, where do they get the cash? I grumble when I have to fork out £60 just to get the car through MOT.

My cousin has a speaker in his car which cost him more than my TOTAL locost budget

I was in my local spares shop a few years ago; some chap was letting us all know his 2.5 grand stereo had been nicked (with the car - a £200 Escort)

Laugh. I nearly bought a round

really steve!!! what makes you think these litle angels would do that?

Macdonalds sell burgers Steve, but you can have a large coke as well.

yours, Pete.

Kiwi, you're very calm having just posted it on here....

I'd have gone absolutely ballistic at her.

Is there age descrimination now with Credit Card hounds in Motorway Services?

The hounds will pester anything in trousers or skirts for a £50 bonus...

I've just seen a Vauxhall Nova being fitted with 18" wheels - for £1K! The youth of today... tch tch tch

over 20 years back, ny grandad, who was a mechanic, said he regularly saw cars with extras fitted that were worth more than the car.

Its not a new phenomenon.

I had a 100 quid mini in 1977 which was fitted and had over 200 quid work on it. I stuck it in a tree.

There was a thing on telly a few weeks ago looking at the car add on phenomenon and you could buy a house for what some of them had spent on an £800 Corsa, most of the stuff didn't even make them go better just noisier. They just hung round a shop car park because they couldn't afford to go anywhere I think.

yours, Pete.

We are not all like that, then again lookin @ some pll
