Cumbrias a beautiful county right enough. I miss the North.

I'm from Northumbria...less giant puddles AND a better beach:p

Ooo, hope it wasnt one of ours

So...passive smoking makes you live longer then ?

A few things I've always been meaning to get round to.... Write a best-seller, but make sure its childish, would look good on screen and has characters that make cute toys. Invent something that everyone in the world needs, anything that is except cats-eyes and Tetra-Paks. Design a range of greetings cards, featuring a universally cute cuddly animal and a love heart. Pretty straightforward really.

A man walks into the supermarket followed by his ten-year-old son. The lad is spinning a 1p coin in the air and catching it between his teeth. As they walk through the supermarket someone bumps into the boy at just the wrong moment and the coin goes straight into his mouth and lodges in his throat. He immediately starts choking and going blue in the face and Dad starts panicking, shouting and screaming for help. A middle-aged, fairly unremarkable man in a grey suit is sitting in the cafeteria reading his newspaper and sipping a cup of coffee. At the sound of the commotion he looks up, puts his coffee cup down on the saucer, neatly folds his newspaper and places it on the table. He gets up from his seat and makes his unhurried way across the market. Reaching the boy (who is still standing, but just barely) the man carefully takes hold of the kid's testicles and squeezes gently but firmly. After a few seconds the boy convulses violently and coughs up the 1p coin, which the man catches in his free hand. Releasing the boy,the man hands the coin to the father and walks back to his seat in the coffee bar without saying a word. As soon as he is sure that his son has suffered no lasting ill effects,the father rushes over to the man and starts effusively thanking him. The man looks embarrassed and brushes off the father's thanks. As the man is about to leave, the father asks one last question: "I've never seen anybody do anything like that before -it was fantastic - what are you, a surgeon or something like that?" "Oh, good heavens, no", the man replies, "I work for the Inland Revenue!!."

Why, thanks Matlee...just the two of us is it?

At least youve got some mates:( I'm off too polish my toy supras.

spookily accurate

Thanks for the replies and advice:) But a fellow member has now taken on the heavy responsibility of un-sticking said sticky-stuff.

Thank you, pleased you like her.

Heat shield ?

Heartbreaking to read. I dont know what I'd do if it was my cat...I love dogs too, but in this case I would have panicked and done the dog some harm in an attempt to save the cat. What a horrible position to be in, Im really sad to read this, what a total shame.

Great to hear

I've a new dash. The old dash panels had the OEM optional fake walnut fascia stuck to it. Thats all off now, and apart from the double-sided sticky stuff still all over them, they are as new underneath, and if I can get the stuff off, someone could benefit from these.... anyone advise how to safely get this sticky stuff off before I try something too severe? (face-lift dash, so they dont have the rubberised coating)

Robbo, this is your night....I wouldnt dare steal the limelight. Besides, I've a body like a pregnant pipe-cleaner.

Possibly...I havent posted my modelling shots yet:sly:
