Yep. After several broken promises, I finally received a workshop manual for my Honda Firestorm on CD today. Bit sad I know, but it means I can get on with stuff now. Hoorah!!

Congrats, wah, I can relate to what you have been through, after 12 weeks there is a significantly less chance of a loss as I am sure you are aware, well done and keep positive

I think I was supposed to get the rest of walthamstow as well when I bought my house

at least the guys in the kebab shop always give me a few extra chillies, and the guy in the off-licence tends to throw in the odd free gift, and the people in the cafe give me free refills of tea. so it's not all bad, is it?
