As per my avatar, I had a Choc Lab, lovely dog - lost him a few years ago no.

Only downside of the Chocolate one is that they are much more difficult to train than the other ones.

Their behaviour is more like 535dboy, i.e. unpredictable  :))

We are getting a new dog as well - this saturday to be precise, English Pointer. "Only" in Devon though, so will be a bit of a track.

Should fit nicely in the X5 to keep it on topic  :)

He was a lovely dog although I'm not quite sure why you trained him to keep sniffing my nuts !!!

As you say back on topic, Sue - fancy a shag?

Right I'm really off now ..... You've gone too far Mr Duggan  >:(

Just to be clear...this was mock indignation,  I think I ought to clarify that!

Well let's be honest cars are generally a complete waste of money whereas property should be as, well, safe as houses!! I'll get my coat.....

The only exception to this at the minute is GT3 RS 911s.

The White and red one that IQ loved in the pics a few pages back has shot up in value. My mate paid £100k for it. He has been offered £130k for it. I'm kicking myself because I wanted one

The f40, bought for £180k, now probably worth £500k

Happy Sons birthday.

And yes put pics up, I love property things hence I dabble myself

Thanks buddy son will be chuffed he got a mention on the forum - will be 10.

Gotta add the F1 to that list too - albeit, impossible to acquire nowadays. Know there's a few american old metal that's also good for investment - not up on it though (most likely the Shelby's and Impala's no doubt).

Might get a good return on this one - is a house for life with all the home automation, underfloor heating, insulation, nice new bathrooms and kitchen, etc. But it's in a good street. You know what they say, location, location, location.

Taster without pics, 2 bed bungalow now 3 times the size, with 6 dormers (hence the F15), new windows and all that bollox...

He gets a back hander.

House may well end up being what we want - Xmas day always ends up with my better half in the kitchen while all the guests are having fun in the lounge/dining rooms. That will change now with an all-in-one large room. That was something I had to change considering all the effort she puts into this time of the year (and thinking of the presents for the kids - I'm a useless dad).

OK - will do a thread but will have to be cautious, lots of twats out there - 'Hello, this is my house on a public forum, come burgle me!'

After all, X5Sport worked out where I live from one photo (EXIF dat) - dirty bugger!

Mums always buy the presents, you are not the only dad not to.
Love the idea of one big room so that the person cooking isn't segregated - easier to delegate then aswell and get people helping out with peeling the spuds etc. Definetly do a thread just make sure pics cryptic enough to foil X5Sport!
