tattoos... friend or foe?
more fuel to the fire of the tattoo discussion...
Leviticus 18...
28 “ ‘Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the Lord."
some would say that this is reason enough not to... but then those same people would surely have to also subscribe to the former sentence...
27 “ ‘Do not cut the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard."
non?

quality... and so true
For as churning the milk produces butter,
and as twisting the nose produces blood,
so stirring up anger produces strife.Monday, April 02, 2007
Suzuki Vitara...
Needs a service...
48,000 mile service, £439 incl. labour, VAT and parts... doesn't not include the Cam belt, which is an extra £247, and does not include parts like the brakes which need replacing...soon!
resale value is as Parkers Guide dictates:
So... new plan... sell it to a garage for a lower price then "what I could get privately" because if you take the private good sale price of mine, which was lower anyway... £2,000 and then take off nearly £700 worth of servicing, it'd leave me with £1,300... not impressed there... I've been offered £1,500 but sure I can grab more for it.
We'll see eh?!
