    Ahh, but we dont all drive indestructable, and apparently immortal, Blue Volvo's ZG. I'm not sure the same approach would work on a "normal" vehicle

    I got

    a new duffel coat, the complete works of Douglas Adams and some white socks.

    What more could a contractor want?

    My sister is fast becoming renowned for giving totally useless (but not cheap) and irrelevent gifts. The past two Christmases have seen her give me first a pair of divining rods, and secondly a wooden abacus. This year however it was Mrs Ws' turn, she recieved a tennis ball lump of rock salt, albeit drilled to accomodate a tea light, but rock salt FFS!?

    Cold urticaria, caused by stripping to the waist while soaked in sweat on a freezing cold night walking home from a concert. Missed two parties and a fair amount of sleep.
