ReplyDeletedon't forget the immense fame that also comes with it...
ReplyDeletethanks for the link. and the priceless mug - that's the main prize, the unholy grail. it's a one-off trophy. somebody on the antiques spaceshow in 200 years will be asked to sit down as they tell them it's worth 5p.
ReplyDeletei like the car by the way. i was partly responsible for a certain amount of havoc in a car not dissimilar to that, back in the day. it was actually a spitfire convertible but it wasn't mine, i was only assistant havoc-maker. how does that hip-hop song go, 'i don't want no scrub hanging out the passenger side of his best friend's ride'. course that would have to be carefully translated into Eirglish.
