Difficult choice this week.
I only drink filter coffee (only allowed one cup per day because of the dicky ticker)- instant coffee gives me headache. Not into all this Fair Trade hype, which has been hijacked.
New Year's Eve - I can take or leave. Refuse to pay hiked up taxi fares, hate having "friends" around and pretending to like people I don't. Much better to have a few real long term friends stay for a few days and get ratted in comfort. Best New Year's Eve was at Center Parcs with all our kids. Swimming in an outdoor pool, with snow on the ground, stars out above and steam rising. Bike rides in the forests and meals around a log fire.
Car names are just ludicrous. My Morris Traveller was 50 odd shades of green (primarily British Racing Green - best name ever). Midnight Blue, Boston Blue,Oyster Grey, Stone, Tahoe Blue, Mercury Ivory, Arizona, Diamond Black, Flame Red - and that's just for a Renault Captur.
So it has to be................................ car colours

I grind coffee beans so cant get into nescafe. At worst Gold Blend is just about palatable.
New Years Day... yes it's just like any other day and cant get excited about the midnight hugs and kisses. It as great when I was younger..but now I have to behave...
Car colours...yes it's all marketing hype, but even back in '59 BSA had a 'Pearlescent green' paint which was a metallic green,
which to an owner or admirer, prospective customer sounds a lot better than er....green.
Some good choices there, but no choice but to bin the Nescafe..

Tough choices this week,
don't drink coffee (teenage incident involving an entire bottle of whiskey). So it is tempting to put Nescafé in
NYE is always a let down (especially the once I went out with my now wife in High Lane in 1990) so just to spite it I might put it in.
Car colours are the only way I distinguish between cars (after being crashed into once I could only describe the other vehicle as small and grey). So I think to avoid getting confused I will have to put this in

I have nothing against Nescafe or New Years Eve really, so will have to be car colours for me not sure why they have to make up names for colours that I can't even pronounce just stick to Black, White, Silver, Blue & Red.

Names of car colours takes the lead, after it looked as though New Year's Eve might run away with it! Two days to go...

Eppy, how do I vote for the exceedingly annoying Nicky Campbell. The smuggest of smug smuggenoids who ever spun a wheel.

I love New Years Eve, it's one of the few times a year that the family get together for a reet good booze up at someones house.
Car colours don't bother me at all, They've never been plain old simple colours so to me the stupid names are the norm.
So it has to be Nescafe. For me they are like Gordon's gin, people only bought it for years as it was the only one they knew!! (I love gin but hate Gordon).

New Year's Eve all the way for me. An absolute f**king sh*tefest from start to finish. There was once a time when staying in on NYE depressed me, but not anymore, I HATE it. People you couldn't stand and barely acknowledged all year round suddenly become your best friends, wishing you "all the best" for the new year and "hope it's a good 'un for you", and don't get me started on that "Auld Lang Syne" bullsh*t. It's a f**king con, and the person who invented it can f**k off. The only people starting January 1st with a smile are the greedy b*st*rd Taxi drivers and the landlords who charge their 'regulars' to see in the new year in the pub they've helped stay afloat for most of the previous one. They can all f**k right off, money-grabbing tw##s.  Beautiful, gazza! |
