Expensive compared to other cars. He said "If you can afford a Jaguar...you can afford the service." :shock:
Rolex owners can afford the service...IMHO :lol:
You've hit the nail on the head there Woody. :D
Much respect to Hans though for providing this space and dedicating so much time to it - All Hail Hans :gott:

Hi, :D

I hadn't realised that!!!

Sounds like a good thing to do, to me! :D

Till next time...

The Laird :D
I didn't realise that either, but will do it from now on. So some good has come out of this thread then - Respect 'The Laird' :D :D

If Hans needs financial help with the running of the forum he knows who he can ask, until then will you both go and 'shake a tin' on Oxford Street if you want to help a cause.
There is a great line from a Happy Mondays song, forget which one now.
"I never help or give to the needy
because god made it easy
god made it easy on me"
And god could presumably make it easy for them too. No need for charity!

Warning! Do not watch video if you are easily offended!

I had often wondered if that were the case, but I was too lazy or forgetful to post a question on here. Now we know! With the amount of watches we all buy, if everyone here remembers to follow that link when buying, it's sure to add up.

That probably means that you and I make up both members of his television audience! He's definitely one of my favourites.

He'll be thrilled to have that many viewers ! Well as thrilled as Mr Lee ever gets anyway!
It's intelligent comedy & not afraid to confront or challenge his audience...similar in a way to Bill Hicks, though a tad more subtle
