Another alternative might be to politely keep quiet.

thats no good, this must be the most stimulating thread on the whole Volvo Club Forum.
I wonder what message we XC60 owners are sending out to the rest of the Volvo Forum - and no I do not smoke a pipe, have a dog, wear a cap....!! Yes, I went to Uni & like darbs watched the LOB too many times & like VC studied Latin at school - maybe facts like this distinguishes us as XC60 owners.......!!!

Sad to say that I had forgotten how much I enjoyed 'Life of Brian' until this thread reminded me - just downloaded a fresh copy so that I watch it once more at leisure

Defo gets my vote as best thread of the year!

Excellent, a response that is entirely inline with the rest of the ambiguos comments

Mind you I though the 'handle' was synonymous with the login name - guess that comes from being an 'old sod'

Hi Simonjedrake

I smoke a pipe have a dog and wear a cap.lol.

Yeah, I was actually interested to see and read what twists and turns a topic could take and how it could alter from a single topic onto a diverse range of topics ,when how and why. I wanted it to be stimulating and it is you guys that have made it greatly so.Cheers

I find it intriguing ,and as someone on here pointed out , that if one says a poor word about an item , and someone else has that same item and think its great , they seem to defend the item as though it was a living breathing human being ,wife, daughter, mother, son which is really rather interesting (well to me at least!)

Oh and by VC do you mean me..??...if so youve changed the R to a C.! lol
mmmm now thats an interesting name for me

to ensure a liking for MP runs through my family i've openly encorouged my 2 yr old's copying of the horse riding mime in the holy grail. not that he's seen it. i think it's just something they do at nursery. just need to get myself 2 halves of a coconut shell to knock together whilst he's doing it and i'm sure we'd have a youtube hit on our hands!
