Merry Christmas

Here you can talk about the joy owning a Volvo 480 brings. Non-technical discussions take place here, like what is the difference between an ES and a S version.

Merry Christmas

Post by esta » Wed Dec 12, 2007 6:57 pm

Hi all!!

Well i am about to leave my Leamington residence and go down for a short stay in Devon to spend Christmas with my parents. As it goes, they have just had their internet cut off for no reason, so i dont expect i will be online over Christmas so i am wishing you all a very merry Christmas to you and your 480 now!

Hopefully i will have some "spotteds" (if you see a grey XR3i flash you it'll be me thinking i am still in the 480 :lol: ) and some news on the GT (i heard i am getting "make her better presents" from Santa... :lol: )

Looking forward to a more 480 filled New Year

Cheers guys ;)

i wish!!!!

we are rota'ed to work it so tough....we get an allowance rolled into our salary for the year to include all bank hoidays, then if we work them, we can claim them at X1.5, so effectively we get X2.5, but not exactly rolling in it!!

and holmes...i know where you live, and i aint got a tree yet, so watch it, or there may be a spitfire shaped decoration at the top of mine this year

....and a Merry Chrimbo from us :D ................Ally's been down at his folks' stripping rusty clapped out 480s to get em ready for the 480 "funfair" (to mention the word scr****rd would be to painful for them) and cleaning burst gearbox oil off their drive, to try and make room for the guests' cars on Chrimbo day....so we're down to 4 now! and counting......
Talking of 480s, it will be Freddo's first Chrimbo with us

Have a great time! Snow and pressies and misteltoe, and love to all men, and singing by the fire, and Bing Crosby, and Chrimbo pudding, and general festiveness to all...................am I sickening you yet... ;)

I agree with what Murf has to say.

But no harm in saying Merry Christmas to all you guys (and gals) :D

Well there's a simple solution- don't do any of that crap. I don't.
Just be nice to those you know who deserve it. Why be a hypocrite because it's Christmas?
