THE CURMUDGEON: 99

Monday 18 July 2022

99

No, not her.

I was looking at Neighbourly yesterday and saw that someone recounted how they'd bought a car back in the 1970s for $1199. This got me thinking, as it does, of what I bought my cars for.

1948 Austin Eight - $99

1962 Triumph Herald - $399

1963 Hillman Super-minx - $599

1965 Hillman Super-minx stationwagon - $799

1976 Ford Escort - $1099.

After that I had company cars so didn't buy them until after I retired and bought:

2008 Peugeot - $39999

2006 Toyota Ist - $4999

2016 Toyota Corolla - $17999

Now - wasn't that interesting.

ACCOLADES

"Alert, conversant, speaking full sentences"

- From hospital doctor's report.

This just to hand - an accolade from one of this blog's followers:

"Reading The Curmudgeon's blog has opened my eyes and mind to the silliness of religion and the stupidity of catholicism in particular. I now see myself as a modernist even if I don't really understand what the term means. Well done that man for giving us the low down.
That's why most readers reference Curmudgeon first."

- Robert the apoplectic sinner

And another one:

"What I like about The Curmudgeon is that he's fair. When he posts comments on my blog they are positive and always contain a hint as to how I could improve my own blog. As an older person I find this to be helpful."

Richard (of Richard's Bass Bag).

An updated accolade from Richard:

Hello all. I really like this blog. The quality, humour and professionalism gives me something to strive for in my own blog. Recently I've run out of ideas and have reverted to writing long and boring posts on violin playing. I wish that I could create blog posts as fresh and interesting as The Curmudgeon's.

"This is the first tantalizing (sic) surprise of many as The Curmudgeon introduces us to ...."
