<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" /> Thank you UB. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

Kyra_Ny <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

No problem at all, esspessially since I got another post <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />! (in case you think so, that was not the main reason I posted though...)

Übereil

I touched on it in passing, but I really love the fact that we have automobiles nowadays.

I drive, round trip, 124 miles = 199.6 kilometers five days a week just to work and back home again.

What would your life be like if you didn't have a car?
I sure wouldn't want to travel that distance horse and buggy everyday.

Kyra_Ny <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

I don't have a car. You could try and take the bus, like I do.

Übereil

I did that once.
It was a very boring 10 hour ride. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sleepey.gif" alt="" />

When you get a car or truck of your own UB,
you'll know exactly what I mean. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Kyra_Ny <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Two miles (one mile= 10 km)= ten hours <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />? It takes me 20 minutes to go from here to centrum, but thats only 5 km (eg 1/4 of your distance).

Übereil

No, when I took the bus I traveled over 200 miles = 321 Km.

The bus also stopped at what seemed like every city along the way.

Very, very boring. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sleepey.gif" alt="" />

Kyra_Ny <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Doh! I swear to the gods I work 10-15 minutes (driving time) from home, this takes like 45 minutes by bus or train taking waiting in consideration, like Kyra I did that once ...... never again, so instead saved all my booze money and bought a Mercedes ... much more comfy <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

A Mercedes!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

And here I am with my lowly ole Honda Accord LX!

Hey, I'll PM you my Acct.# and Bank Info.
So you can T/T some of that money my way!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" />

Love ya Mea!
Kyra_Ny <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

Erm, no wonder the bus took some time, but on the other hand I didn't mean you should take long trips by bus.

Übereil

go for it Hon, you never know your luck in a big city <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

teeheehee!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

kyra, u have to excuse us. it's tradition in this forum to go off-topic once in a while. heck, most often we can't find our way back to the main topic. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" />

Shyon, thanks for the info. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> by the way, u should look for info on SteamBoy. i've seen the trailer & it's beautiful. almost like Metropolis.

Are you still hankering for the Audi TT that you mentioned in another post? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I had a drive of one a few weeks ago, and very nice it was too.

It belonged to a friend who kindly insisted that I have a test drive. Unfortunately, it was in the city, full of kerbs, traffic and fussy little roundabouts, whereas I'm used to driving more in the countryside. So I was terrified the whole time - and did all the usual nervous things like trying to indicate with the windscreen wipers. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Nicely made and finished, but somehow not quite me. I think I'll stick to what I've got.

Audi TT!?!?!?!?!?


I heard it mentioned!?!@?!



<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />

Not just yes, but HELL yes I still want an Audi TT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" />

Oh the round abouts. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
I remember those well, the short year I was living in Bermuda. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
Such a wonderful lovely place. (sigh)
The water was so clear it looked only 10 feet deep.
When it was really over 200 to 500 feet deep. (ah...sigh again)

@ janggut => Offtopic... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
As if I haven't done that myself several times already. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

@ Lew => The original Audi TT comment
I originally made that wish comment when I mentioned Halloween and Ube mentioned Christmas and then I said something like...Ohhhhh, Christmas!!! I want an Audi TT Quattro!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Kyra_Ny <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

Interesting that my friend with the Audi TT is also a woman. I wonder if there is something about them that women particularly admire? Certainly they're very nicely finished, and kind of sleek and muscular. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

A bit out of my price range though. And an old codger like me needs a more sedate 'Gentleman's Conveyance' too.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shhh.gif" alt="" /> It's not quite a Mercedes or an Audi TT, but it's still a lot of fun...

My Gentleman's Conveyance

BTW, Bermuda sounds almost as nice as Australia. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Shoot Kris, old codger!!!
An RX8 !!! I know that car well from watching "Fear Factor".
It has been a prize on many occasion. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" />
You're only ? years older than me!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" />

Are you trying to put us in the Old Fart Family already!!!!!????

Kyra_Ny <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" />

Oh, decades older I'm sure.. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/stupid.gif" alt="" /> I'll be 58 next Friday (12th) - so plenty of time for last minute present shopping folks. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

But as this has fast become the "Everything is off topic" thread, here are some quotes to doing with language (weren't we talking about languages, and misunderstandings, a page or so back??).

Anyway, I love the direct way that kids often use language - in much the same way as person from another country might not quite get the right meaning.

I was in the shower the other day and my young son came in and had a good stare at me. Eventually he said thoughtfully "Dad is very skinny!"

Now, I'm far from obese, but nobody would ever call me skinny <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> - so why the comment? But we eventually clarified it. Normally I have my clothes on, so I don't show much skin. In the shower it's all skin on show - so by kid's logic I was "very skinny". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

And another day he was intently watching the water run out of the bath. Wanting to express that the water was disappearing, he shouted excitedly:

"It's getting goner, it's getting goner"! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

And one from a friend's little girl. She had been asked to help by holding a handful of nails - without dropping them - while Dad hammered. But he noticed that a steady trickle of nails was hitting the floor. "hey, you're dropping the nails" says Ken.

"No I'm not dropping them" she said solemnly "they're falling...." <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
