If you've got a missus like mine a £50 Tesco shop is a given! I use Tesco 99 all the time these days - mind you, a tankfull lasts me well over a month nowadays.

1. KamaSupra 2. GreaseMonkey 3. Dangerousknopfler 4. StevieB (Maybe) 5. Homer 6. Sabrina (Maybe) 7. MANFAT (maybe) 8. Ivan (I'm a maybe too) 9. 10. I found out when I took my Supra for MOT the other week I'd only done 2000 miles in the last year. Like the mechanic said - "What a waste!"

I like that one. I take it you changed Irish to Aussie because you felt they were less of a threat being so far away?

I was just about to reply saying exactly that - they'll bump the price on Thursday by 5p.

So basically what you're asking for is the power for any group of nutters (whatever religion) who objects to a visit by (for example) George Bush to go to a sympathetic Magistrate and block that official visit? P!$$ off.

My mother and my sister are both with Talk Talk and have terrible connection speeds with no sign of any sensible solution forthcoming. Sis is now switching to BT. Mum only switches on the computer now and then and forgets how to 'go on Google' in the meantime so it's not worth the hassle of retraining her...

Quite a few of us mate.

A biker is riding by the lion enclosure at Longleat when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's enclosure. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents. The biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch. Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly. A reporter has watched the whole event. The reporter addressing the Harley rider says, ' Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I've seen a man do in my whole life. ' The Harley rider replies, ' Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger and acted as I felt right. ' The reporter says, ' Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a tabloid journalist you know, and tomorrow's paper will have this story on the front page... So, what do you do for a living The biker replies, ' I'm a Royal Marine and I am on leave after a tour of Afganistan' The journalist leaves. The following morning the biker buys the paper to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads on the front page: MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH

Has she twigged yet?

Philips SPD6000L1 DVD rewriter here - no problems for years.

I finished off the 5 parter MI5 (Tales of..) recently and it really brought back the memories. As good as the originals. Needs a decent PC to run though - or you have to turn the graphics right down. Mind you, that didn't detract from the game IMO.

Yeah, watched it. So it's NOT Europe's fastest street legal car then - Red Victor still is.

I don't remember seeing this thread before now but this has got to be the best answer ever...

I would!

Nah, it's still £77.50. It's £85.50 with the £8 PO Check And Send service included though. Waste of £8 if you can read and follow instructions...

How do you come by the reasoning that your posts are "very helpful, informative and entertaining"?

Do it now and you're just about guaranteed to get it in time. Why wait?

I blame the parents.

Apparently an X-Factor production team were spotted at Gamu's house earlier. The (SyCo sponsored?) plot thickens... I love watching the X-Factor team play games with the public.

Wanna rethink that bet now?

Please tell me you lot don't blindly follow these satnav misdirections?

Here's a solution to all the controversy over full-body scanners at the airports. What they need to do is develop a booth that you can step into that will not X-ray you, but will detonate any explosives you may have hidden on or in your body. The explosion would be contained within the sealed booth. This would be a win-win situation for everyone. There'd be none of this crap about racial profiling and the device would eliminate long and expensive trials. And talk about a deterrent! This is so simple, that it's brilliant. I can see it now: You're in the airport terminal and you hear a muffled explosion. Shortly after an announcement comes over the PA system, "Attention standby passengers, we now have a seat available on flight number ... ."

Obviously not then. Actually it's back next week: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/8036036/The-Stig-set-to-join-Fifth-Gear.html

WTF? That's just stupid! What about the poor folk living in Wimborne trying to get to Poole? All it's going to do is force more traffic through Corfe Mullen.
