Olly, I love the way you spell neighbour as it once again proves that yanks spell this word wrong (see my last name... the 1/4 English background in my lineage is where my surname came from!)
Hey, we yanks don't understand some of your words, but we want to learn. Please define "plonker" as that's a new one for me.
And what kind of food do you serve in your restaurant?

With my current Z4 - since its a very new car on the market plus its a..."bimmer" I have received ton of good comments but several bad ones as well. I ignore them completely even if they are very frustrating.
I think the Boxster 986 I am about to get has less flashy looks and while a much better car than the Z4 I think just the emblem "Porsche" is what makes it stand out. If it was same looks but another brand it wouldnt have made such a huge BAM! if you know what I mean...
People are jealous in this world and they would love to drive a car we do. But no anyone gets what they want...thats life...

"plonker" someone between a wanker (i don't know if i can write this word on such a nice forum  ) and an ****************************! haven't you seen The Commitments movie or the Snapper, two really good Irish movies, one of the top of plonker coming out of here is Colin Farrel for exemple!!
As for dinner tonight we have some lovely locally caught fish, Scallops, John Dory, Seabass and Hake with of course run in the field last month beef and lamb!!
bon appetit!

What's a wanker?
If you keep using words that aren't found in the dictionary to describe other words not found in the dictionary, I'll never figure out how you people talk!
Could the amount of marmite you eat be the root cause of the odd accent and the wierd made up words?

ok, Colin Farrel it is. I checked www.imdb.com and discovered he's a real good looking young man with 28 films under his belt. What makes him a plonker? A role he played in a recent movie? His antics around a big city in your country?

No his antics in big cities in your country man, I know women loves him, 28 movies, not bad, the latest one is a home made one that just reached the news, in the Paris Hilton way, he drinks and smokes too much do drugs and had problems with the law on numerous occasions, have attended rehab and all, not a role model for new generations to come, but hey he is not the only plonker on my list you know just an exemple !
by the way I guess that probably makes Paris a plonkerette?

This thread reminds me of the movie Space Balls. When Rick Moranis walks into the guidance consoles of the space ship and asks the console operator his name Lt. ****************************,and he responds Major ****************************, and the fellow next to him at the console, Capt. **************************** he then asked the officer that walked in with Helmet and your name he responds Major ****************************! Helmet quips "What am I surrounded by ****************************s?''- that is like the fellows that drive next to Porsches. They have this insatiable thirst to pound our car by dazzling speed and questionable moves. Naturally these individuals are part of the Space Balls crew in their hopped up cars, Hondas with exhaust pipes that look like pizzas, 3 Series BMW are notorious at this, that is in the driving mode. IN the talking mode with coworkers when my wife bought me the car where I was working I was the recipient of many and numerous ill mannered remarks too offensive to mention here. Midlife crisis, this envy and that absurdity. One day I had enough after a particular nasty remark I answered "after all your nasty remarks and bad jokes guess what? I have the Porsche and you don't! Now I will go to the garage and drop the top and have a wonderful ride home.
