    Dont worry about your carbon footprint BB, you dont do enough miles for that!

    The Honda HR-V at Motors.co.uk would suit you. 98 miles from you though so you'd have to take the OH with again ( and get him to be sensible this time!)

    I am just flicking around the tv channels and chanced upon ' A Child's Christmas in Wales' on BBC 2. It is set in the 1980s and there is a bloke in it who looks just like lenny but with long hair :eek: :rotfl:

    Is it OK to be scared of a) giving up smoking, and b) having a coil fitted? A I'm scared of as it means a big change to my life, and B as it might fall out and there might be mini-ElfPints to contend with

    It's never wrong to be scared - or scared of failing, we are all like that. It's only wrong to let being scared stop you from doing things :D

    Hello everyone! :hello:

    I think I have had one of my more embarassing moments of the year...

    The ice out here is so thick and all over the pavements - so as you can imagine walking is slightly treacherous! So i decided to cycle between the stations - i figured i would be safer in general that my clumsy feet!

    So tonight they cancelled my train - so i cycled home. 2 miles - no accident and actually was pretty alright on my bike! Didn't feel it try to go once underneath me!

    2 metres from my front door though it all goes wrong - i got cocky. So i started slowing down towards my front door... and i think "red leader, stay on target!" and snigger to myself...
    "Red leader!! Stay on target!!" snigger snigger... then I feel a slight slide kicking in... and try to straighten...oh dear.. Just as I thought "she's turned her targeting computer off!!" wheeeeeee!!! wipeout!
    :o:o:o Guess I do not possess the force :D
