  1. In my long and on-going naivety about all things automotive, I always used to think that the Little Deuce Coupe featured this amazingly cool and trendy piece of kit called a Big Slip Daddy, which undoubtedly made the iconic vehicle go even faster than it's bodyside stripes would allow, but now I'm disappointed to learn that the lad is simply telling his father that he's got the log book.

      I thought it was a limited slip differential, which made you look big with your mates. The logbook is a bit of a let down. Blast, I'll have to play it now, where's the LP? (Along with cherry cherry coupe and Little Honda!!!!!)

  7. A washing machine walks into a pub and asks the landlord for a chicken burger and chips.

      The landlord says that'll be £18.65

      By the way, we don't get many washing machines in here.

      Well, says the washing machine, at over £18 quid for a burger, I'm not surprised!

  8. College Lecturer for my Model Engineering Evening Class is being made redundant :( - not sure what will happen to the evening class, but it's not looking good. May only have 2 weeks left....very, very p!ssed off.

  9. How do some people's minds work? Just come back from taking my dog over the fields and discovered that someone, quite properly, cleaned up after their dog using a poo bag but then just dumped it at the side of the footpath. White plastic bag in the middle of a nice green meadow - poo bin less than 100 yds away! Warped!

      we've bought a Duplo train for our 18 months old by Christmas grand daughter but its 3 boxes on wheels linked together so probably too young for yours. Ikea do some wooden trains on wooden tracks, worth looking at, even if for la.ter

  18. "For too long, readers throughout the Federation have been exposed to The Tragedy of Khamlet, Son of the Emperor of Qo'noS, that classic work of Klingon literature, only through inadequate and misleading English translations. Now at last, thanks to the tireless efforts of the Klingon Language Institute, this powerful drama by the legendary Klingon playwright, Wil'yam Shex'pir, can be appreciated in the elegance and glory of its original tongue."
