Damn these special deals. I have enough money to get that new XBox deal (Halo/MM3 + LIVE, or that one from some shop which is the same, but LIVE is replaced with SC)
Seeing as I don't have BB, the SC deal would be better, but BB is probably coming very soon......and you get more moneys worth with the LIVE deal.
Question - I assume the Live account only starts once you activate it, rather than simply buy it. Stupid question I know, but just making sure...
And then of course theres all the other things to do with money.
Like, er, saving it, like I should be...

I've got 5 pension plans actually, have you got one? They can start from when you are as young as 1 month these days; just right for you whipper snappers.

Sure, there were other people involved. I lead the ERP team, and of the 3 projects that came out of that, I lead 2 of those teams. Not thousands of people, maybe 30 at peak. Leadership is a quality you can only dream of.

I'm my own boss so work the hours I want. I don't waste time as you call it. Time isn't for wasting; it's for enjoying, and laughing at you lot waffling on with your dross is too much to miss!!

Not "took" them, worked "with" Lotus. Given that I own a VX220, I think I know a bit more about them than you. Having researched what to buy (an Elise or VX220), there was no contest. The Elise underperforms and is for people who only care about the brand name. The rest of us go for the better car, made by Vauxhall, called VX220.
I totally agree about the cars heritage, but at the end of the day, a VX220 is a VX220, not an Elise.

I just can't take you seriously. The way you act, talk and the hole-riddled information you give us just tells me you're making up everything that comes out of your mouth. Honestly; how can someone so immature, so computer illiterate, so arrogant have the life you alledgedly lead?

considering you're alledgedly older than a lot of people on here, you come across as very immature and patronising. That tosh about the vx220 made me laugh - faster than some ferraris, ok.
So go buy your 911, new ferrari or whatever, pay off your 300k mortgage, retire at 35, and live in your amazing little world where everyone else looks to you for the answers, cares what you think, thinks your jokes are funny, and the planet revolves to the tune of your every whim and fancy. It is you my friend who has the growing up to do.

It's not funny if you're the only one laughing. Plus what'sa 100k man like yourself doing arguing the afternoon away on a chat forum? I'm a student, hence time wasting is an art by now.

You obviously didn't watch Top Gear then where they did a whole show on which had the upper hand. Its more than just a rip.

Yuo obviously don't know your cars then. Do the research and you will find out that Vauxhall took the designs and specs from a Lotus Elise (with Lotus' approval), tweaked it a little and put a VX220 shell on it.
