Default Brief Encounter

Popped to the autobank in Wednesbury this evening to get some cash. I parked right by the machine and stood behind a pretty rough looking geezer who was trying in vain to get some money out with about 3 different cards.He wasn't having much luck as the machine seemed to be in 'Come In And See Us Mode'
He stood aside for me but made no effort to move away so I'm drawing the dosh with one eye on the machine and one on this guy who'd got all the piercing shit in both eyebrows, lips and a nose stud

Him "What makes that then?"
Me (very politely)"It's a Honda"
Him "They any good"
Me "Yes I'm really pleased with it"
Him "How much am they?"
Me "Just over 26 grand now"
Him "What engines in it then"
Me "It's a two litre"
Him "I don't like the colour."
Me "What colours yours then?"
Him "Bollocks".............Walked off!!

Don't worry about the piercing. Probably too gob smacked with the hoola-hoop to say much else

If all you guys are from the Midlands area, how come I haven't seen any of you?

PS I am not coming onto you as I am recently married - just thought I would make this statement to avoid any misunderstanding/disappointment

It was just a phase I was going through. I packed it in when I realised they wanted me to go IN the toilet. Must've been after me sweets!

This young kid is playing on a rubbish dump and he finds a welders mask with the big screen in it. He thinks it's a space helmet but one of his mates tells him it's a welders mask. Anyway he puts the mask on and he's walking down the steet when this guy pulls up in a big car and says "Do you want a ride in my car" The kid says "No I don't think so" The guy says " I've got some sweets!" the kid says "O.K" and jumps in the car. They drive around for a while with the kid scoffing the guys sweets and swinging his legs in the passenger seat still wearing the mask and looking around. Eventually they pull up on a deserted factory estate and the guy says " If you play with my willy you can have the whole bag of sweets." The kid lifted his mask up and said "I'm not really a welder!!!"

Recently, I've seen a black S2000 pass me when I was driving my old Fiat. This was along the Ashby road heading out of Tamworth.
Also a silver S2000 that briefly parked up at a pub called the Curzon Arms in Twycross....

What colour do you have resse ?
Maybe we should arrange a local midlands meet sometime after this september meet. ?
