    Mine does that too:rotfl:

    I also managed to run out of washer/wiper fluid today. Shows a little animated fountain out of more pleading pixels. I have no idea how I managed to run out though. The bottle is huge and lasts me years...

    Dining room~~posh.
    I sit at my kitchen table:rotfl:

    I have one of those too - though I won't be putting it in the kitchen. May be using it as a work table as it's a bit gouged at this stage in its life.

    Ah...you don't want that... You'd only go :eek: if I said I've spent £891.80 in Asda so far this financial year - and £716.38 at Amazon...

    This is the first - and probably the last - year that I'm being organised... :rotfl:

    Came back to this house in the dark last night. Met a cow. For such a large creature, they're damn near invisible as matt black against an unlit hedge.

    Meeting them at speed can be serious. I was on holiday in Ireland and went to play in a music session in the pub. Next time they held it one of the locals wasn't there, killed hitting a cow on one of County Clare's little lanes. Mind you, he may well have been slightly anaethetised and going a lick, which is why I was glad to be staying in the village.

    Absolutely! They're rather heavy - a good fraction of what a car weighs - with a rather poor NCAP rating...

    To be honest, if you're going any faster than it can run away, you're going to be in trouble. Because of the way they're built, if you hit them, a normal car takes their legs from under them, then half a ton of bone and muscle slides up the bonnet, through the windscreen and through your face.

    That's Bad News Bears right there... :eek:

    I'm usually pretty careful driving round here, though the more usual (though lesser) danger is sheep. They give really dirty looks if you nearly run them over...

    That's such a true comment, I've decided to give it 5 stars.
