Post of the year.
Well he rang last week to say it’s in the country, which I was pleased about, as I’d sort of given up on it, or at least resigned myself to it. It was supposed to be delivered last weekend, but first the lad who was supposed to be delivering it said that he had to go to Wandsworth to get the number plates (I kid you not). Anyhow, this apparently got delayed because his other pal went off with the keys. Then, as part of the final valet, the delivery lad was supposed to get the engine bay steam cleaned ( this according to the gaffer, and, I swear I am not making this up). Apparently the valet place let an apprentice do the steam cleaning, he did it wrong, and soaked the engine, so it wouldn’t start.
Your man now says he’ll deliver it to my brother in London, who unfortunately is in Japan with work for a month.
The whole thing is so far fetched, I think it’s probably true, so all in all, I’m upbeat.
All of the above stories are completely true.
The cunt that swindled me is the one that still vexes me the most.

A ton does not = 1000 kilos. A tonne does. Thats why people use the term metric tonne to distinguish.

Flatty lad you are way too nice & have way too much money.
I’m not really. Herself pulls in a decent salary which makes things a lot easier. Some months we have extra, some are a bit tight. We never had much spare growing up. The best bit still, for me, about having a few quid, is being able to go into a bookshop and buy a book if I want (though funnily enough I mostly get them these days from the charity shops as they are handier), or being able to buy a record if I want (a pleasure strangely spoiled by Spotify)
I’d try and help any lad out if I can, and I don’t really expect it back though I’m always disappointed when it works out that way.
Lads helped me when I was an arrogant student fuckwit labouring on the sites. Tough men who had nothing and never had a chance so I’m always inclined to help people out if I can’t.
I’m ashamed of what a prick I was when I was younger. If a lad wants to give a thing a fair go. I’ll always try and help.

You’re seasoned enough to roll with the punches but @glasagusban is a delicate flower. Your sniping at him is unedifying.
Hear hear.
I’d say you’re a lovely fella in real life Flatty xoxoxo
These fucking tax exiles sicken my hole. Come home here and pay your tax like the rest of us and stop looking for credit for doling out your philanthropy from abroad.

Thanks mate I’m only alright really, not half as nice as Flatty.
That’s true. But Flatty is the nicest guy on the board. Everyone knows that. He even tried to take a picture of his wife’s friend’s fake boobs to post on the Internet for everyone and I think that says it all.

I don’t buy this “I’m a lovely, rich, innocent simpleton” persona @flattythehurdler has cultivated on TFK.
