    You had me worried there Ken, but its a curved fronted glass shelf, just an optical illusion:)
  3. Big argument brewing here already. Top Gear, last part of MotherLove and the final of Big Brother...all on at 8 tomorrow. We can tape one, but can only watch one other, so of course its ok dear, I'll miss TG just for you dear. Like bollocks I will:d
  4. Well that made me look an idiot:p Other than snow mode, does the face-lift TC work in a similar way to the non-facelift TC ? I had a few TC issues in my old Aero TT auto, but not in my current one.
  5. Just out of interest, is the standard TC on facelifts (or Tiptronics ??) different to that on non-facelifts ? I've never had issues with mine when its on. (touching the piece of real wood I keep next to the keyboard these days as I type)

    Thats my boy !

    Bless his little Homer Simpson socks, hes gone for bling over 60-grit nylon seat covers. Still, its a mono-rail for the future, a future where the act of putting grubby fingerprints or bogeys on the transport systems property is a crime punishable by amputation, and all fat people are sent to a clinic where they are inhumanely killed and made into green biscuits. So it says on his project description anyhow.

    re

    That reminds me..... Ever wondered if Hell is exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)? Well, heres a possible answer... First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added. This gives two possibilities: 1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose. 2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over. So which is it? If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, "it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you, and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number 2 must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct...leaving only Heaven thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God."

  12. Pots the pink and brown with one shot ?
  13. Life begins if and when you wake up in the mornings. At 47, Im careful not to try too hard to fit in with a young office staff and to some extent, a young forum membership. My attitude is naturally childish anyway, so combined with my incredible age, I think I take the middle ground ok. Not too Victor Meldrew, not too giggly adolescent. My biggest problem is how to deal with feelings toward young attractive women....one womans attractive older man is anothers pervert:d

  17. A young fellow from Oklahoma moves to California and goes to a big 'everything under one roof' department store looking for a job. The manager says, "Do you have any sales experience?" The kid says, "Yeah, I was a salesman back home in Oklahoma." Well, the boss liked the kid so he gave him the job. "You start tomorrow. I'll come down after we close and see how you did " His first day on the job was rough but he got through it. After the store was locked up, the boss came down... "How many sales did you make today?" The kid says, "One." The boss says, "Just one? Our sales people average 20 or 30 sales a day. You're going to have to improve considerably or look for another job! How much was the sale for?" The kid says, "$112,237.64." The boss says, "$112,237.64 !! What the hell did you sell ?" Kid says, "First I sold him a small fish hook. Then I sold him a medium fish hook. Then I sold him a larger fish hook. Then I sold him a new fishing rod. Then I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down at the lake, so I told him he was gonna need a boat, so we went down to the boat department and I sold him a new bass boat. Then he said he didn't think his Honda Civic would pull it, so I took him down to the automotive department and sold him that new Ford pick-up. I asked him how long he was going to be out at the lake and after he said 5 or 6 days I took him down to the RV department and sold him a slide-in camper for the truck." The boss said, "A guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a boat, a truck and a camper?" Kid says, "No, he came in here to buy a box of tampons for his wife and I said, 'Well, your weekend's shot, you might as well go fishing."

    Naughty Nauticals

    Heartbreaking for the owner, but its insured. Technically it was still in the process of being delivered, so was not actually under the owners care. So the builder and transport company will battle it out with the port authorities. It was a mobile crane with outriggers, so could be as simple as operator error, or a fault with the crane. Shame, but no injuries at least.
