I'm still checking in from time to time, mainly lurking in the background!

About 17 years ago I was out on my bike and a muntjac shot out and managed to get between the front and back wheel. I was only doing 35 odd but the back end jumped and I did have my brown trousers on!

For god's sake don't attack your ear with cotton buds, apart from pushing the gunk further in it inflames the ear canal which makes it we...

Citroen C4 "Cactus". I couldn't stop staring at the thing it's so ugly!

Good on you Welly! I got caught for headlights out of adjustment & steering column controls loose, picky barstewards
