Sorry New Zealand, second best today
I'm smiling now, I can't even imagine how those at the Aviva are feeling!
Oh - picked up the "new" motor this morning ...... driving back through the drizzle felt like freedom day after 3 weeks without one
Dinky, but happy to go - and for someone who learned to drive in a Hillman Imp, no problem staying in the power band.

That somebody actually bet some money on a certain darts player today to beat Jonny Clayton. Clayton won 5-3 and the name of the losing player Rusty Jake Rodriguez.

Re: What made you smile today? Part III
I was in Marshalls yesterday, getting a pair of wool socks. At the checkout and going to pay cash, around $10. The cashier said the customer at the next checkout had paid for my purchase. So surprised and very thankful. I will go ahead and wait for an opportunity to pay it forward to someone else. Made my day.

However, my Matchless G2 CSR, which my old man sold "in boxes" when I was back in Ireland, still exists and is of similar vintage. FEL 351D was registered in Bournemouth in 1966 and had a Red and Chrome tank (standard Matchless) but is now described as "black" (?)
