Well blow me down, just had a chap from mitre ten mega knock on my door, I've spent days on end in that bloomin store recently buying a kitchen and stuff for our little do-up house in the wop wops. Many a delivery driver has knocked on my door over the last few weeks so it was no particular surprise to see him there grinning like a Cheshire cat, thing is though I couldn't for the life of me remember what I'd ordered this time.

Anyway, cutting to the point of this thread, the very nice young man announced that they would like to invite me to the store on account of the fact that I'd won a Kia rio!!!! I don't even know what that is other than it's obviously a car of some sort. Yeah right says I..No really you've won a new car!

I can't ferkin believe it, I've never won a bloody thing in 50 odd years on this earth and between you and me I'm flat bloody broke right now, buying a can of coke and a news paper has become a major financial decision so I am absolutely gobsmackingly thrilled YEEHAAAA!

I've got a few doubts now that he may have said I've won a new cat or that he didn't exist at all and I've dreamt it all...nah I'm sure it happened, handing over the keys at 1.00pm, it must be true...OH MY GOSH:mellow:

Go the MEGA....bestest store in the land.

Congrats.....not a bad wee little motorcar is the Kia.....do you get to choose the colour?

I'm not sure, but don't you have to keep something like that for a year before you can sell it? Heard that once upon a time.

How cool, you won a car on Friday the 13th....YEEHA

Don't sweat it mate you can have a ride on the back of my Harley anytime, the only requirement is that you have an arse less than 2cm square to get on the pillion :shit:

Worth a visit mate but nothing to write home about in biking terms, a couple of nice beaches and a cafe in summer and 'ME' of course so yeah good road for a wind down and smoko but there's better out there for scooting along. Always welcome though Pritch, what you like at landscaping :msn-wink:

LOL If you could see my place you would see that it has major potential for a talented landscaper. What with a river at the bottom of my backyard and all.

Alas! While I'm here it will all likely remain "potential".

I was just doing some chores and I burst out laughing on recalling Nadroj being offered a chance to win ride on the back of a Harley. I think there were four bikes in his shed last time I looked including a Honda STX and a Hayabusa.

Interesting to contemplate the exact nature of his reply?

So pleased for you. It's always nice to hear of great things like that happening to lovely people.

Enjoy your win. (Ooops, fingers mis-hitting keys, I just said "wind", changed that back to "win" so as to not make a prat of myself hahahaha)
