    Sorry guys and girls. I suppose I was feeding the troll!
    I couldn't help it. I have friends in financial difficulty through no fault of their own and when these idiots come on with thier stupid comments and take the pi$$, I don't find it very amusing.
    You are a really good lot on here, so keep up the good work.....

    That made me laugh. I am just going to turn 40 this month (ouch) and I remember writing line after line. Oh and the cane. Oh and detention - although I didn't mind that so much in French - our Miss was absolutely gorgeous,:D

    As for feeding the trolls. I fell into the trap a few days back and they just don't let go. So just ignore. I know it is easy to say but it really is best in the long run.

    well....out of curiosity [or boredom, depends on how reactionary one is]...I've juts scootled over the motoring forum......and what a hotbed of misinformation, anger, abuse, etc I found.

    The donkeys were well and truly at it over there....[donkeys being my euphemsim for trolls]...



    we are relatively lucky on this forum.....maybe because more people actually know what they're talking about?
    No, I don't think all other drivers are idiots......but some are determined to change my mind.......

    Congratulations and welcome to the 40's, nothing to worry about really, haven't you heard - 60 is the new 40 anyway so I still consider myself below middle age.
