omg omg omg!



best part now:

delivery driver called me to ask for directions. so all grand and i was awaiting for him. when he drove his first words were:

-is that a present?
-huh?
-i sow on the box, it came from lego crowd, just was wondering.
-ah no, its for me!
-really?! i collect lego too!
-what? really?! you are the first person i met who did not judged me for buying this!!!
-ah no! i got myself lego technic sets. my wife got me a big excavator! she told me i can get it with one condition - i wont be putting it together now. i ended up staying till morning building it and pissed off my wife!
-lololol. you whana see whats in this one? its 4x4 crawler!
-sure open it up!
*conversation gone on and on! fair play to delivery driver. he might have skiped on my delivery today. he was just asked to deliver it if he could on his way home as it was in area.

now i have to wait for xmas morning... i wonder if i will resist it though!!!!

Meccano also have some very good kits like that, where you could build multiple machines and control them by remote control

Galway Senator Healy Eames gets a €1,850 fine for her cars tax being 6 months out of date. Is that the normal fine?

€1850 is very high for this type of offence.

Actually when you take everything into account, 6 months loss of revenue, a merc so high tax and failing to appear it is justified.

I had the submarine too!! Still have it built at home.... also have a massive box from when I was a kid full of Lego, probably a few grand in it.

Might buy some for Christmas now....

Anyhow. Off karting in Kylemore now to break up GaryITR. Anyone who wants to witness this spectacle come on down!!

I got that for my young lad last year. fantastic build with V8, pistons move when car rolls, doors are automated, as is spoiler and bonnet. A few tricky bits during the build and I built it all.

Came in one night wasted from pub during last Xmas last during the build (3 days) and having remembered in the pub that I made a mistake. Spent 2 very drunk hours fixing the mistake (colour code of some items very close and causes problems) and only went to bed when the wife came downstairs. It is still fully assembled on the mantlepiece. Every visitor to the house goes straight to it and has a good look.

I got this when I was like 13, A lego F1 Ferrari edition. :cool: I was on my window sill st. stephens day and my bothers friend din't believe it was made from lego. Until he fcked it off the wall and it smashed into 10000 pieces. It was a dark day for the pit crew.

Dartz

I would've murdered him for that.

Then told his parents what he did. Before murdering them. Then all living relatives.

One does not mess with another mans lego.

dunno m8. 83£ looks very cheap for amount of fun it can give. i am a gamer and i used to pay 50-60eu per brand new game and sometimes i would not even play 10 hours damn things. i could easily buy 2-3 per week.

and i will just leave this here too:

Jaysus lego is expensive. You'd nearly buy a real car for that.

NCT retest booked for the 6th, thank fuuuuuuuck for the Christmas break.
Air bag light sorted, just plugged it in, did some magic and took the tape from over the light. I'll kick who ever did that!
