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...

But you aren't funny you are pathetic. No one believes you about your sad a*s job and so called income because no one with a wife and that amount of money would waste their time acting like a complete sad b*stard.

1) I work for myself, not a firm.
2) I've helped develop IT systems for the NHS that have a direct impact on life-threatening decisions.
3) I don't want to make friends on here.
4) Your "so called ripping to shreds" is acutally really funny!!

No it isn't, it's a VX220.

As much as I can't stand the pr*ck he is right about the VX220 being a faster and overall smoother car than the Elise. Top Gear did a show on it a few months back and they all agreed that the VX220 was more than just a rip of the Elise.

It's also worth noting that as a consultant in business you'll probably drop dead from a stress related illness before any of us, plus you're old so we'll get to be pensioners after you're gone, and being born later than you means our life expectancy is higher. Plus very few of us are tied down, sorry married, or have things like mortgages to worry about. And you're stuck with a pretty crap time for personal pensions aren't you ?

No I'd rather not thank you.

Excuse me? No? Shut my sorry little face? Who the hell do you think you are talking to? I'm no kid! I don't earn as much as you (supposedly) do, but I sure know how a majority of these cars drive. Yes I have driven a VX220, and although it is quite quick, it's nothing special and there are many more cars out there that I'd rather drive.
> More comfortable and handles better than the Elise
How can it handle better than an Elise when it IS one? The only differences are cosmetic ones and it may be a little more efficient but it certainly isn't better than the Elise...
> When you grow up, you will realise the difference.
Lis**ten mate, you're probably not much older than me, so don't s**tart with the 'you kids don't have a clue' crap.
> The problem with you little whipper-snappers
Again, you ain't the elder we mus**t respect. Back off, shut the hell up and leave this situation be, before get completely hated by the entire forum.
And trus**t me, they're a vicious lot...;P

Gramma, grammer, grammar...who gives a sh*t. Do as I say, not as I do.
As for the VX220, have you ever driven one? No, so shut your sorry little face! More comfortable and handles better than the Elise, is fas**ter than some Ferrari's, and cos**ts jus**t £25,000. It's not a true sports car, it's a pocket rocket; a "sporty number". When you grow up, you will realise the difference. You might not like the look, but that's a matter of tas**te, but performance cannot be disputed.
Yes, I can afford a Porsche. In fact, I will probably get the new 911 or similar in a couple of years time when I've got a bit more cash behind me. Or, I could get a new Ferrari. At the end of the day though, they are only cars; get you from A to B, jus**t like a Ford Focus.
The problem with you little whipper-snappers is, you don't know what living is. When you've worked for your money like me, you don't jus**t splash it around on pointless cars unless you can truly afford to throw the money away. We've got a £300,000 mortgage to pay off soon, and plan on retiring subs**tantially earlier than mos**t of you lot will.
There's more to life than cars. Like XBox consoles for example, of which I can buy 2 every day! lol

3) You need a dictionary
4) You're wife is easily impressed, but hey she probably has to be
