to think personalised number plates are one of the most pointless things in the known universe?

Actually it'd not personalised, just very, very old and looks like one!

IDoNotLIKEFun · 08/02/2012 12:48

A local dodgy (but wealthy) tax-evading builder has CR00K and DH once nearly crashed the car in hysterics when he saw who was getting out of the one which incorporated MILF.

Life's rich pageant - don't mind 'em.

Also nosey about Silverfrog's - what and why Smile

I rather think that the "I am a twat" type comments are bitchy don't you?

AKMD · 08/02/2012 12:49

There's one around here that reads H1 8OXY. Hi Boxy? Really? LOL

ArielNonBio · 08/02/2012 12:49

And MN is never bitchy?

YonSeaCow · 08/02/2012 12:50

Soup why the number plate though? Would the old number plate on the new car you bought yourself not make you smile?

Is it not just a 'fuck you' at your ex?

SoupDragon · 08/02/2012 12:51

Where did anyone say MN is never bitchy? I simply said I think less of people who bitch about this (and other similar things).

JustHecate · 08/02/2012 12:51

I never said anything about anyone being a twat.

MissBerta · 08/02/2012 12:51

I'm gonna get YABU 1

SoupDragon · 08/02/2012 12:52

No, it wouldn't youseacow.

TheParanoidAndroid · 08/02/2012 12:52

I did. Grin

Based on my non scientific survey that the people I have known or known of that have them have all in fact been twats.
I'm willing to conceed you may have one and not be a twat.

SoupDragon · 08/02/2012 12:52

I never said you did, Hecate.

YonSeaCow · 08/02/2012 12:52

Soup why?

JustHecate · 08/02/2012 12:53

Oh, sorry, I have clearly got hold of the wrong end of the stick.

silverfrog · 08/02/2012 12:53

IdonotLIKEfun: nothing exciting. just a 'normal' numberplate that happens to match my (rare) combo of initials with a relevant number too.

I can't even remember why I put it in search site to check availability - but it came up, and was cheap, so I thought 'why not?'

given that we change cars every 18 months or so, having personalised plates makes it easier to rememebr the bloody registration Grin [pregnancy brain]

SoupDragon · 08/02/2012 12:54

Because it wouldn't, Seacow.

YonSeaCow · 08/02/2012 12:55

Soup But WHY? I am not arsey, I am curious BTW. Is it to do with what it says or something?

SoupDragon · 08/02/2012 12:56

I don't have to explain myself because it is what it means to me that is important.

YonSeaCow · 08/02/2012 12:58

Soup well that's a bit arsey for no apparent reason.

IDoNotLIKEFun · 08/02/2012 12:59

Cheers Silverfrog! Why not indeed?

ajandjjmum · 08/02/2012 13:01

Mine's held it's value more than most of my investments recently! Grin

SoupDragon · 08/02/2012 13:03

That wasn't arsey at all. This is arsey:

FFS, Seacow, it should have been quite clear that I don't want to explain it and you kept on and on and on. Butt out. It is no one's business but my own why it means so much to me. It is not for "show" it is just for me. That is what I wanted to explain without going into details.

droves · 08/02/2012 13:08

My ex boyfreind is a 6" 2 , ex rugby playing blonde with huge muscles .

Hes also loaded , has several businesses.

Why did i dump him after only 6 months ?

Because hes a self obbsessed twat.

PROOF ? He just bought a plate that spells his name .

Worryingly DH , now wants a pn too....but cant get the one he wants because his cousin has it !!!Grin .

Bunbaker · 08/02/2012 13:09

I once drove a company car that coincidentally had my initials on. It did look personalised but it wasn't.

MistyMountainHop · 08/02/2012 13:17

i want a PN, and if i had the money i would have a BMW X5 with one on it. don't care if its "chavvy" Hmm

i am quite chavvy anyway
