Wow rd, is that insurance as well?

V, agree with RD, you are the DB Queen. Congrats on the new car!

Hi Edz, no, just road tax, insurance was 800 this year but it is covered for business use. We have VRT in ireland as well which puts 30-40% on top of the purchase price. When my merc was new it cost 119K euro ( bought it at two years old before people think I have that sort of money) in the UK the same car would have cost under 65-70K

thank goodness for Europe !!!!

Sorry Vanillia, abit of a take over.

No probs RD, t's my turn to host the party.

My insurance?

£137 for the year! V has full no claims plus she has advanced driving test plus she has a black box! Car cost £2,000.

Boring little old lady driver. Never speeds, never overtakes, never swears, and dear hearts (polishes halo) passed driving test at 17 and never had an accident, never caught speeding. My other car is a 800cc Daewoo Matiz, insurance £87. Might have a bumper sticker car on Ka, my other car a Daewoo Matiz.

RD, do the Ss have access to your car? Is that why so high?

Bought some floor mats from Lidl £7 and am thinking of a go faster stripe probable cost little old lady image. Yippeeeee

My tax is free but thats for driving a very fuel efficient small diesel. A bright red convertible it isnt but it does the job.

You've always said your standing for V and its clear that on that front you doing a brilliant job.

When you drive do you always have the radio/ music on?

Hi , Vanillia. no access for the S he only has motorbike licence and his insurance. cost me over 900 euro a year I have a clean licence now but banned a few times for speeding in the past. Everything in Ireland is more expensive, motoring especially so. A Range Rover is 2600 euro a year to tax so that's why I didn't buy one of them !!!!!

Small bit of news on my W so when you have time vanilla, please have a look

I picture a grace kelly type complete with head scarf and glasses , whizzing along the White cliffs of Dover with your H standing by the side of the road with his thumb out !!!!!

Take care and drive safe. Rd

Looking over on your thread.

H

Just had another talk about the news, we are discussing the racist incident on the French underground.

H: you know I am very racist. There are far too many black presenters on TV.
V: I am definitely not racist H.
H: I would not join any racist groups mind you. And one of my friends is black.
You always invalidate my views on things and you know I am right.
V: just because I disagree with you does not mean I invalidate your view. I am entitled to my views too.
H: not really
V: Are you sexist too?
H: (thinks) I do not think so
V thinks Nice to know

There was plenty of expletives in H language. I hope these statements which V hears for the first time are just for effect. But the sentiments make V feel physically sick. V believes in higher spirit not race, sex or religious belief. H never ceases to test Vs limits, V kept her cool. The screaming banshee did not appear. H is entitled to his views but I feel sad he has them. How limiting. Did I really marry a racist and why did I not know?

H is also fattist, he says all fat people are stupid and lazy. He says people who live on benefits should be stopped from receiving benefits and immigrants should be sent home. People who have tattoos are common and vulgar. Or so he says.

I just keep thinking 100% of what they say. I do hope so.

Whatever next???
