Pulled over, spent ages looking over the wheels and underneath the car, picked up the bonnet, all seems ok.

1/ the focus has Brakes
2/ apart from the servo you won't find them under the bonnet

No wonder you got ripped off with that Lemon

An abitrary date chosen by the roman church to fit in nicely with the previously existing pagan festival.

No, they're just a bunch of grease monkeys.

They seem to dislike that song as much as anybody else. It was good at th etime, but has become somewhat of an albatross.
I was disappointed when they refused to play it at a gig I attended on their come back (My oh my era) tour. I could understand if it were summer, but the gig was about 20th December, should have been the big finish.

If I was drinking coffee about 30 seconds ago, I'd need a new keyboard.

As a Slade fan I have been able to feel the noise for years. I could not describe it to an outsider though.

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll be checking under my car for gibbons from now on.

Or is it only Ford Focus's they like?

It may have made a home for it self around the steering rack. You never know!

I'd rather talk about ashes to ashes...but this seemed to be the silliest thread on today.

I think it might be my fault. He interpreted my sarcastic remark in another thread as a request.
