Education & Work Hey Datto, found a job for ya....

this ad is for a comedy/production company run by a friend of mine, Bonnie, who is an absolute superstar and one of the most genuinely amazing people I know. I've seen various works of hers over the years, stand up shows as herself, variety type shows in one of her alter egos and a few others, shes great.

she's also pretty smart in terms of getting publicity, eg this ad as an example.

Hey @sanj Are you trying to derail this thread?

If she's that good why isn't she on PC? Get her over here.

 

haha she has no interest in property.

besides, why would someone running growing business/es that need time and most importantly capital and cashflow invest in property at this stage? doesn't make sense financially

 

She seems sweet.
Speaking of fame, was that you I heard on RN this morning @sanj ? Sorry to derail @datto.

 

No it wasn't, have I got an imposter??

pity it was radio and not tv, you'd be able to tell if it was me based on the shirt being pure gold and not plated like some of my doppelgangers

and yes she is sweet, one of those people who always leaves you with a smile on your face.

 

He admitted he has a face for radio so I suspected he wasn't you . A very liberal-minded and thoughtful man - I thought it could've been you on your best behaviour.

 

hahaha thanks, I think.

what was the segment about?

 

He was filling in for Jonathan Greene (I think). He interviewed some women about some typical feminist issues and let them talk, etc. He also did the usuals like tweet of the week (a mystery bird sound) and convened a panel on a weekly political overview. Said his family originally from Pakistan and has a 4 year old daughter. Had an accent. Very nice style the way he just let people talk without interupting them or arguing as even the better ones all seem to do these days.

 

Bonus point if mounted on the bonnet

 

Could they afford - dare I say it - a Datto?

 

Too expensive, too scarse.

 

I would love an old 1600 or 180SSS for nostalgic reasons (or even a 200B Aspen) but finding an unmodded one in good condition for a good price is nigh on impossible.

My list of cars for nostalgic purposes is long but starts like this (not in any order):
Lancia Delta Integrale
Alfa Romeo GTV
Escort RS2000
Mini Clubman LS1275
Datsun 1600 (or rather the Jap version ie Skyline GTR)
Maserati BiTurbo
Lotus Esprit
