    The good news is my tyres aren't illegal :j:j:j:j:j
    the not so good news is that there is 1mm of tread.

    Given that the legal limit is 1.6mm - I take it that you mean 1mm over that?

    That's not a lot is it!

    Nope...I swapped my winter tyres out at 3.5mm and they had been pretty crap in the limited snow we've had.

    Got chatted up by two blokes when I was up north for the last beer festival. Have the telephone number of one, but he lives 100 miles away. Can't decide whether we should meet up for a date, whether I should look on a map and let out a big sigh or whether I should bin it.

    If you like him (and vice versa), the 100 miles will be nothing for either of you. If you don't, you'll ignore him so the 100 miles will be nothing again.

    I can't really see the difficulty.

    LOL. Can't fault your logic!

    Yes it was 1mm over and handling like a bag of spanners!

    Technology has the answer...

    Will also make you look taller in a pub...

    Though if I had ever tried to paint without completely covering the carpet, I would have been murdered on the spot... :eek:

    I would have a spot straight on the carpet!

    Still ok peeps. Bit flat at the mo but cheered up by a few friends at the weekend and customers at work. Someone wrote in this week to complain about the condition of the garden behind their new house. They very helpfully send a photo of a worm to prove they had worms and slugs in the garden.

    I was so shocked I had to sit down.

    Did they get it to pose? Was it smiling? Remember, if it had its thumb up, then it's happy with your work...

    I know how you feel. We were told at work (which is in a rural setting) a few months ago that we may have rats and mice in the field to the side.

    Some had palpitations and needed smelling salts to bring them round. The women were almost as bad...

    Must learn when your friend suggests a challenge the correct response is "Pass the crossword"
    NOT "Yes" followed by her suggesting the Coast to Coast cycle ride :eek::eek::eek:
    Hence tomorrow I will not be leisurely reading the papers over a cup of tea, I will be training by cycling 31 miles in 3 hours.
    The whippet look is in???
