I am doing a benchmark with a business partner down in Winchester. I was utterly delighted to walk out to the hotel car park on Monday morning to find that some kind soul had keyed the back of my 7.
Words cannot express the joy I felt, or my warm wishes towards the person who so kindly improved my car for me. The delight goes beyond my ability to express, and I trust that he or she will be suitably rewarded. (Is that better, Killian?) ------------- Ciao, Spokey

Makes you sick doesn't it, bet if you'd have caught the **** and done what I'd like to do to the **** who keyed my M3 you'd be straight down the station..... What kind of place do we live in where there is no respect for anything or anyone....... ------------- M = Money 3 = 3 x as much.... |

What comes around goes around.....3 times worse - Vandals will have short and desparate lives, who are we to change that for them, they might create havoc on the way for others, but their lives are muc tougher and less rewarding......shame ------------- Phil |

I won't like to say what I'd do to them.
How about giving them a nice big bunch of flowers...  ------------- V reg Rustbucket Merc C220 Cdi estate J Reg Saab 900i 16v '63 Ford Anglia 105e deluxe R reg Honda PC50 moped.. No BMW as yet... |

The local police here are known for giving warning shots to the head for such behaviour to property. Some think they are being overly aggressive. Skip |

Is this wishful thinking or do we have proof 'cos that'd cheer me up no end! We should be allowed to put them out of their misery, it'd be the kindest thing. ------------- The world is a tragedy to those who feel, but a comedy to those who think. |

erm....well...ummm.....a rusty Sierra with pinked edges migh do the trick, specially if painted girly pink..perfect to parade the numbnutz who like to deface other peoples hard worked for property.. We have a pink minibus over here that is used for unruly schoolkids, it has no heating and windows that don't close, the seats are so close together that the kids get pinned into place and its a lovely shade of pink...the kids love it (not) ------------- October 2-6 2008 - Houston, Texas - Long Distance Wedding March 15-April 1 2009 - Transatlantic Cruise October 10-25 2009 - China, Korea, Taiwan & Japan Cruise |

I suppose if we're not allowed hurt them then mortification might be ok. Damn this being civilised....

apparently if you tell a policeman that your taxes pay his wages, he will bend over backwards to help you - worth a try! ------------- Current: 2009 E60 520d "Sport" tractor Previous: 1989 E30 320i SE 1997 E39 523i 2003 E39 525i Sport Individual |

Actually, I do! But I can quote: van·dal·ize Audio pronunciation of "vandalization" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (vndl-z) tr.v. van·dal·ized, van·dal·iz·ing, van·dal·iz·es To destroy or deface (public or private property) willfully or maliciously. vandal·i·zation (--zshn) n. It's a lame excuse though, I did mean "vandalism". ------------- Ciao, Spokey

Absolutely true, we love to be told that. Suppose I pay some of my own wages too. Does that make me partially self employed? ------------- Alive.........but for how long? 1999 V E46 318se Black with grey leather |

Dictionary.com has Vandalization but given that we are using English and not American a search on http://www.askoxford.com/dictionaries/ - http://www.askoxford.com/dictionaries/ gives nothing for Vandalisation ------------- Current: 2009 E60 520d "Sport" tractor Previous: 1989 E30 320i SE 1997 E39 523i 2003 E39 525i Sport Individual |
