Yeah, I have leopard print sofa's for f**k sake?!

I quite like how ugly they are.

Yeah, not her fault that a puppy has got health problems. It's really sad, the rest of the litter are sold and had no problems, but she is so conscious that she can't re-home Pierre now that she feels obliged to keep him and give him the best life ever. The least I could do was sell her a car cheap.

Ok. So I was all set to buy Pierre, the French Bulldog. 16 weeks old this weekend, so he went off for his Kennel Club checks, vaccinations and health assessments. Unfortunately he has health implications, and has collapsed/restricted airways. Which would mean I couldn't get pet insurance for him, and his chances of having a heart attack from trying to regulate his temperature are high. The lady I was buying him from was very upset, because it will mean he will have a greatly reduced lifespan. She isn't happy to give him to me and she wants to keep him for herself because she's so conscious of his potentially short life span and the implications his ongoing health problems. This made me unhappy. When I was considering getting a French Bulldog, I wasn't even considering getting a French Bulldog. I was considering getting a Sphinx cat, but then Pierre came up and I had to have him. Aaaaaanyway, what with Pierre now being un-homable I still felt like I need a pet. I've had a cat at my house forever, and they're considerably less upkeep than a dog. So I spent two hours with what can only be described as the ultimate cat lady, and now have a deposit on Spartacus the Sphinx kitten. Who I believe to be second up from the bottom in the below picture. Yep, I've bought a hairless cat called Spartacus.

Yeah. He put it into first instead of third.

It's did think about them, they all seem too unreliable if they are fast, or too slow if they are reliable. I was strongly considering an E30 325i whilst I can afford one, they will be 10k in 18 months I think.

Apart from putting it into first instead of third I think it is pretty much the same. Which is a f**king miracle, because I struggled to get first when I wanted to.

So, almost unbelievable I'm making a move to buy the S3 back. The guy wants to sell, but we can't agree on a price.

It's for a K03 or longtudinal engine. No use to you.

A 1.8t Mk2 would be nice, a 1.8t 205 GTI would be better

Probably a Mk2 GTI or another 205 I think.

I'm just coming down to see some mates, and have a night out. I've neglected you lot lately. Yep, any 1.8t duties that are currently in planning can also be addressed in one fell swoop. You were the last passenger in my S3.

Rainbird, I'm coming out in Plymouth on Saturday 14th. Be there or be square, I assume Ride still exists? Meet you there at 20:30?

I don't think she has been practicing, not even I'm good enough to make a girl come in 90 seconds just from touching their boobs.

Girlfriend is home, 24 hour sex-a-thon completed. On the sofa with a bottle of wine and Silent Witness. Life is good.

I think the Panda looks like a whale at the front.

It looks a bit more at home in the snow and slurry. Just outside fleet, so not too far away. We've got about half an inch in Basingstoke at work, it's going to play havoc with my end of month hand overs!

Did she have a go on you as well then?

All fun and games until someone loses an eye.

She's landed and home safe. Needless to say she has already had an argument with her mother.

I've already bought a parka jacket for the French Bulldog I don't have yet. It will probably end up on my cat. By that, I mean it already has. http://www.glamourpawz.co.uk/product-category/clothing/ Animal "clothing" is HUGE.

I wonder how much colder their plugs are?

She's on the plane. I'm so f**king excited.
