The Irish Mitsubishi FTO Owners Club

how about this for a day! (not that im complaining) was actually really cool!


Well as some of you know i work in carphone warehouse.

I sold a builder (dead sound bloke) a blackberry 8100
but he came in today just was too awkward for him (was his choice and he wanted it) but he was sick of it and wanted to go back to nokia.


so he wanted to get a new phone but said he wasnt gonna spend a penny so i said look give me your phone and ill buy you any prepay phone you wanted.

i showed him some even the nokia 6300 (costs about 200 quid)
but he wasnt too keen on any phone there.

untill he saw my nokia N70 on the back counter and said he wanted that!
now my n70 is my old phone and only just by accident brought it into work today! earlier i tryied to fob it off to a friend for 50 quid last week!

he just pointed and said i wanted it! i explained how it wasnt new but had a few extras that an every day phone wouldnt have but he could have it!

so he said no bother and i got himhte phone and the charger for the phone (whice was 149 euro brand new compaired to a blackberry 8100 that costs 449)

i took the blackberry and charger off him...
and about 10 minutes later he came back.

I was expecting to get my head half taken off as he realised it was an uinfair deal but he didnt seem to think. and handed me a car kit for the blackberry too! E40 new and says that its no good to him anymore!

was a great end to the day

Do you want to swap it? I have some magic beans...

swapped it to one of hte lads who works with me for a samsung U600 (3 weeks old & 1 gig memory card) + 100 euro

Sound's like I had the total opposite day to you then!
Ok some of this stuff you will laugh at, some of this stuff will make you sad, some of this stuff will make you very mad!
Where to start?
Ok went home yesterday decided to give the house a deep clean, have a bit of a do in May so was thinking I need to repaint, so said I'll start cleaning out old presses and bit's and bob's we never use! Decided to mop the floor's, filled the mop bucket full of water, as I turn around to grab a cloth I knock over the mop bucket, floor is now a river I'm only wearing socks! So I grab the mop to dry it up, I'm getting no where like, so in my temper of squeezing out the mop I snap it in two, and it stab's me in the tummy I take a deep breath and grab a large bath towel and dry up the rest of the water! So next up I decide I'll hover the stair's, and as I'm extreamly pissed off at this stage I'm pullling and hopping the hover off each step, then I notice there is no suction and I'm getting no where? I turn around to look at the hoover, only to see in my temper I've managed to tare the hose open and it is now unravelling with each step I take!
I give up now and decide it wasn't ment to be, Monday night watch a few soap's make your dinner relax! I go into the sitting room and my daughter and her friend is dancing to high school musical, they both decide to jump on the couch at the same time!!! BANG!!! I look up they've both gone through the couch and broken it in two! At this stage deep breath's are no longer working I walk out into the garden and I'm pacing up and down wondering where the closest bridge is? And I look out onto the ave to see some WANKER has crashed into one of my car's!!!! Scraped the whole side of it, paint and everything gone compound wouldn't work ere! I ring my boyfriend to tell him about my crap day, and when I told him about the hoover he innocently said sure there is a brush there love, BIG BIG HUGE mistake I popped!!!
He wasn't so happy when he heard what had happened to his car either!
I've a fair idea which neighbour done it, but sure what can I do?

Well, it is a site about petrol heads...!

You said it not me!

My god what an insensitive lot......

The best thing to do Marie is this;

1- Take the socks and wash them seperately from all other clothes as the dirty mop water will contaminate everything else.
2 - When the wash is finished put them on another quick spin programme.
3 - When quick spin is complete, dry by hanging out and not in a tumble dryer as this will only cause the socks to shrink.

That should solve your problem.

And you want someone to share a room with you at the meet???

How does he know all that???

Ah, see I have no one to do my washing for me unlike some.
I'm a minefield of useful knowledge!

@ gfalls - its also called 'RRR', Really Rapid Revolutions.

tough break!

You'll make someone a fine wife someday Dragonheart...

Nope, single life all the way. I can live with doing the washing as long as I get to spend time with the real love of my life, my FTO.

Hmmm... I hope you won't take offence but I did notice she had a lovely ar$e at the Limerick meet...

*note to self*

find out for myself and consult bernard with my findings

She does indeed, nice, firm, shapely. Carved like a goddess, and when she talks all others are silent, she moves so gentle yet with passionate graces, and man does she feel good to be inside of!
