I was a wee bit worried about this, but knowing what dogs you own I'm sure it will be ok.

Its a tenner a year...you do know that dont you ?

Australians wouldn't give a XXXX for anything else. You can always get it at the Co-op. Its do-able. Sorry lad, I was all clogged up with slogans. Better out than in.

Its easier to average your mpg over longer periods of time than say, just a tank full, but this only gives you an average mpg for average use of the car. If you want to get a better idea of mpg at certain conditions (town driving, or motorway driving etc) all you can do is fill the tank up full, then run for say, 100 miles at whatever conditions you want to test and fill the tank full again and calculate mpg over that 100 miles using the amount of fuel you put back in. I've done this several times (before and after a new O2 sensor for instance) just to see if my mpg has been affected. I've just looked at my fuel useage history, and for each year of the six years I've owned my TT, I've averaged around 19mpg over the year. Lowest ever over 100 miles was 15, highest ever over 100 miles was 29. Town driving I average about 20 mpg.

Plop, plop, fizz, fizz, oh what a relief it is.

Good luck with the new venture guys. Who's going to be the first with a carbon roof then ?

Well I hope he liked me...I invested a lot of my time laying the foundations toward mutual forum one-ness with him. I hope he hasn't given me the flick.

Too easy going perhaps.

Incredible...the power of an elephant in just one sheet.

excellent

Agreed. I'm far more interested in putting some pork into sheep.

Linked to this...made me smile...

As the great man himself once said... I got a great big pointed fang Which is my Zomby Toof My right foot is bigger than my other one is Like a reg'lar Zomby Hoof If I raid your dormitorium Don't try to remain aloof... I might snatch you up screamin' through the window all nekkid An' do it to you on the roof, don't mess with the ZOMBY WOOF I am about as evil as a Boogie Man can be

yay...I'm happy again...I'd have hated going to bed with an ass hanging over me.

sorry

You should have quit while you were behind.

Set-up ? I wouldn't have thought so, but Natalie Wood.

I had an interesting chat with a relatives new boyfriend recently. He spends a lot of time in Spain, and has done the bull run. He's also been to a few bull fights. Like me, he has a threshold he has trouble defining....for me, its fine for pigs, sheep and cattle to be killed for food for instance, but I think it obscene for certain other animals to be killed for food in far less humane ways...a difficult stance to defend and qualify. For him, its fine for the Spanish to kill bulls during a bull fight, but has been shocked to learn about other Spanish Blood Fiestas that occur regularly all over Spain. Theres plenty to read about on the web, not all of it factual and some pure hysteria I'm sure. We have all heard about the goats and donkeys thrown off towers ? Even this is not confirmed as a regular occurrence, just the odd reports etc etc. Said chap has given me links to a couple of sites that want support / help in stopping what has to be said, is the rather unbelievably barbaric torture of animals during these Fiestas, and is now actively involved in stopping these practices (no, I dont know how or at what level). He still enjoys bull fights though.

Very intriguing I must say. Very promising reviews too.

I've mentioned it before, but I watched much of Cul de Sac being filmed. The cast and crew were billeted all over the village where I lived. Cant remember Polanski much, but I remember it all being rather magical. He came back a few years later and filmed some scenes for Macbeth on the Island too.

Rosemarys Baby was good, as was Repulsion, Frantic, Tess, The Pianist and especially Chinatown. What he did was wrong, and he ran away. So, good director, bad man. Let him finish The Ghost then bang him up for what good it will do anyone.

I'm absolutely fascinated by stuff like this. I'd love to find something like this. I really should get round to buying a metal detector, spending weeks researching arial photos of likely areas, set up a contract with the land owner, and spend weeks of my life walking up and down the fields of Britain. Or write a best seller. Or invent something worth millions. Or bend spoons. Lifes too effing short aint it ?

I saw one of them the other day...A4 I think it was.
