My Disco has seen the desert and it was gooood! 
I have travelled around 300km South into the Sahara and covered around 1,000km on roads and tracks ranging from poor to dirt. Sand dunes have been crossed, rivers forded and rocks climbed.
Aaaannd I have never taken it to Chelsea.

You really don't want to go to Chelsea!

John Cooper Clarke's "I don't want to go to Burnley" is an equally fine (and even more acerbic) piece of work.

The worst my Rangie has ever had to put up with is towing a horsebox complete with 2 nags off a wet field on standard road tyres. It did however cope admirably  .

I erred about getting a Defender but because of the long motorway miles we do, cross Europe is about 2,500km back to Hungary, we decided on the Disco. Best car I've owned and, with nothing but affection, she has been unanimously named The Battle Tank. Funnily, it's the first car we've had the girls didn't want to give a girly name to.

Same for me, best car I've ever owned despite it being 7 years old. Only downside so far is the price of some parts - £186 for a rear light (eek!). Good job we've only wrecked two so far in the 7 months I've had it - jack-knifed trailer both times  .
Would love to do a full overlanding trip in a kitted out Defender some day, but it's always likely to be a dream rather than reality.

Tell me about it! We are running our services slightly ahead of the book as the fuel is low grade and the atmospheric pollutants high and the spares out here, wherever that is, are bloody expensive. Luckily the labour costs are low so a full service comes in at around £400. I do have a problem with some nasty chips on the windscreen, but so far they can't even get a new screen, let alone someone to fit it.

That's why he can't get parts: delivery guys don't want to go there, and you aren't allowed out while still in a shell suit.

Besides that, it's wrong.
The correct quote from Apollo 13 should be "Houston we've had a problem."

You already been told - there was no landing on the moon. It's a fake!!!

I know. All that junk on the moon and the footprints have been placed by a 1960s robot that was able to cover its tracks and disappear without a trace. And that's by far not the strangest thing I was ever told here.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
