It's Friday!

I literally just got back from the garage with it. Got a red 2005 Ford Fiesta Steel. 6000k on the clock, sun-roof (ideal for Ireland), alloys and good tyres. regards, Paul Watson Ireland Feed Henry!
eh, stop bugging me about it, give it a couple of days, see what happens.

I'll be visiting my wife's family and attending her cousin's wedding. Monday isn't a scheduled day off here, but the company I work for (construction) has a primarily Hispanic workforce and we don't really know how many people will show up on Monday. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, there is a "Day without a Mexican" protest planned for May 1st wherein Mexicans in the USA who observe will not take part in any part of the American economy. This includes not going to work and not making any purchases that day. Their stated goal is to show the impact they have on our economy in an effort to win legal status for those who are here illegally. It's a shame really, because (depending on how many people really take part) employers - sometimes small and sometimes large, with us being on the smaller side of medium - are the ones that are really going to take the hit. These same employers are some of the biggest supporters of legal immigration or a guest-worker program. Oh well, call it collateral damage, I suppose. Wow, did I get off topic or what?!

Jackasses. People like that should go home and make an impact in their homeland. BW
If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

Yup, just like that one. I'll take some proper photos of it over the weekend and post them up. They go well enough, just a 1.25l engine so it won't be breaking any records. Pretty weird owning a Ford. Never thought I would. regards, Paul Watson Ireland Feed Henry!

No kidding, why not go back where they came from and try to make it a better place for them. I am not directing my thoughts to anyone group of people, just illegal immigrants in general.

What are you doing this weekend? :) It's a long weekend (May Day is a holiday here), but my weekend is shot. Totally. I'd planned to go to Pondicherry, but both the chaps I asked dropped out. I thought of going alone, but my uncle in Pondicherry will be out of town. What's worse, my friends will be out of town too. :sigh: I'll probably read something, do some Sudoku and perhaps visit somebody in Madras. And there's always laundry :| Cheers, Vikram.

I've owned three Ford's (although none currently) - a 1973 F250, a 1984 Tempo, and a 1998 F150. My wife also used to drive a 1997 Taurus. They were all good, reliable vehicles. None of them had any mechanical problems (not even minor ones) and that includes the '73 F250, which was older than me. Charlie if(!curlies){ return; }

I honestly don't know. We were supposed to be going to a party tonight, but both of us were feeling worn out today and we didn't make it. :( Anna :rose: Currently working mostly on: Visual Lint :cool: Anna's Place | Tears and Laughter "Be yourself - not what others think you should be" - Marcia Graesch "Anna's just a sexy-looking lesbian tart" - A friend, trying to wind me up.
