75 miles each way is doable daily, much more than that (and depending on location/traffic/etc) and it's staying away territory.

Have we got a new sockie in our midst?

Is the Pope a German?

my old man wants to take the kids shopping for some Christmas presents - I suggest taking them to tesco and letting them choose a DVD/wii game/music CD, rather than spending his only night with them walking the late night shops.

need to charge ipod up this evening as its had some stick this week

The heater in the car is barely warm by the time I pull up onto the drive

Get a smaller car. I'm sure my Seicento is almost warm by the time I get to the end of the back lane.

Not much good for 150 mile round trips though.

Get him logged on and let them choose something from Amazon too. They'll gift wrap it and deliver direct to your house.

the wife is making a lamb/mushroom curry for tea tonight

She is mustard at curries, and her lamb is fantastic.

Lamb? Mushroom? Mustard? Curry?

What the hell's she cooking?

However did I manage to do that?

150 miles a day.

Must have been mad, mad I tells, quite quite mad.
