I lasted two weeks without crashing

OK, a few weeks back I had a prang in my car, which caused me to need a new bonnet, new bumper and some repaint work done. It was really annoying because not only did that mean I had to pay out my rather large excess, but I also had to drive around in an awful courtesy car, a Kia Placenta (or whatever the hell it was called).

So, I had my car back all shiny and new and made a pact to go at least a year without needing it fixing again, as the BMW body shop know me by name now.

However, last night it had a little bump again. This time though it wasn’t my fault. Some guy reversed into me in a car park, driving a Renault Espace. The bump didn’t seem too bad at first, but then I noticed the knock on my bumper (on the drivers side) has caused the other side of the bumper to buldge, which has pushed it out passed the headlight. Also, the side panel on the passenger side has been pushed back, causing the passenger door to catch when it’s opened.

Bloody typical. 2 weeks, that’s all I lasted, 2 weeks. Now I’ll have a damn courtesy car again. It better not be that Kia.

Mr Daz receives an email from his past

This is so cool. I just received an email from myself, from 2 years ago, through the website www.futureme.org. I wrote an email to myself when I was going through divorce, and set it for two years later. Now it’s arrived, and shocked the hell out of me.

Here it is, for your reading pleasure.

Dear FutureMe,

As I write this you’re getting divorced and fighting a war with Don Murphy. Hopefully by now you will have defeated Don, have an ex-wife and will have conquered many, many women. I trust you haven’t been foolish and gone and gotten married again, or got back with Hayley - cos that would have been a big mistake.

I trust you are now at the peek of physical fitness after spending the last two years in the Gym, and are of course well on your way to being a millionaire. You should be raking it in from numerous websites, be a porn baron and have at least two extra properties that you rent out.

If you’re a lonely miserable wreck, then snap the fuck right out of it knob end. Go out, get fucked and fucked up.

If you’re a millionaire already, well done dude… and can you lend me a tenner?

About to shag Amanda… did I? You’ll know.

Wow, a kick in the ass from myself. Just what I needed. Have I succeeded with those points? Well, I am renting one property out (and looking to buy another, though the CSA are stopping that one). I’m not quite at the peek of physical fitness, and I’m not a millionaire (by some way).

I haven’t conquered many, many women either, but that’s a good thing. I’ve had some great girlfriends since getting divorced though, so I’m definitely better off there.

I am pleased to say that I haven’t gotten married again, which is good (for now) and I’m certainly not likely to get back with my ex-wife.

As for the sign off comment, no, I didn’t… despite the rumours to the contrary.
