Top Gear for being so predictable.

Why aren't there any proper motoring programs on TV?
I long for the days of William Woollard and Chris Goffey that actually gave you the facts whilst still being entertaining.

I have a Gmail address and it seems to be very good at spotting spam and automatically sending it to the Spam folder without me even seeing it. It's very rare a spam email actually gets into the Inbox, maybe one every couple of months at most.

It must be that time of the year again, dozens of frogs copulating on my patio, god knows where they come from, we don't know of anyone local with a pond.
They were at it for about three weeks last year.

I hope they are taking precautions - far too many frogs in the World.

On the other hand, if they are the edible variety, I'll place a regular order for a dozen pairs of legs per week!    :P

Now I don't mean to be tight but why are nokia advertising a smart phone, with a blind man taking photos?  Have I missed something here?

A real Niggle that I have been building up to for quite a while now...

Why oh why do people have to wander out in front of my car in Llandudno without a care or even checking.
If they bother to look at me at all, they look with utter disdain that I have the affrontary to be on the road.

Its not just youngsters, it pensioners... its couples, its EVERYONE !!
People just walking out and not looking (or caring) that a car is using the road.

My car is not hidden by a cloaking device, and these people do not have steel legs,  so whats going on?   :rage: :rage: :rage:

Hmmm.... Possibly your garage has been infiltrated by a Romulan defector, who has installed one in the mistaken belief that your car is actually the Federation's attempt to mimic their singularity-powered runabouts.  On the other hand , perhaps they're just daft :-)))

It's a tradition there. You just walk into the road and the cars stop. It's the way it should be, people are more important than cars.

Definitely - this can be repaired!
