If fsn wins 1st prize, can he swop it for the Centurion ride instead? :D

I dare say whoever wins the Centurion ride would be happy to swap. I know I would :)
And if the third prize winner isn't willing to swap, then FSN has found someone to talk to about Centurions ;)
Who in their "right mind" would want a ride in a Centurion?...er...oh... :-[
Might be worth a Sho't.
(I'll get my coat)
I've bought 4 tickets!

Safe enough if you stay on the expressways and don't try the bridge - wont take the weight. (They have to scrap off the current surface layer before resurfacing)

There are expressways in Runcorn? I thought they'd only just introduced muddy ruts.

While I do not wish any bad luck to Nobby,
but I dread the thought of him winning the ride in the Centurion - Can you imagine it, he would be unstopable in his posts, there would be 20 million posts starting "when I rode in the Centurion" or "Did you know the Bovingdon Centurion" etc. etc.etc.
To say nothing of the tissue shortage in Runcorn caused by the result of him "Thinking about the ride in the centurion! :-& :-&

There's a word of four syllables there - what are you trying to do to this forum?
What's a syllable?
Is it that pudding made of cream and lemon?
I like that.

To protect themselves from window lickers and FSN :D
The thing that annoys me about the window lickers, is that they charge me £5 for window cleaning afterwards.
And they leave smears.
