I didn't find that one at all funny, I just felt sorry for any Irish people reading it. Only joking! Terry.

I understand, Tony, that the sat nav speed is pretty damn exact and that all speedos on cars are optimistic. My Disco says I am doing 76 when the sat nav says 70 and the Mazda, 75. I wonder if there have been any cases of people challenging speeding offences when their sat nav said they were going slower at the time they were zapped. Terry.

Me too, if that's possible, Dave. Pleeeeease. Terry.

Perhaps this is what you're looking for, Jack; the place to download your own log Download e log. Hope this helps. Terry.

In my current situation, I would have to vote for number 2. However, if I was going for number 1, i.e., keeping it afloat, I don't think I'd go for an outboard. In this case, Adam's preference has a lot of merit. Terry.

If true, that's not sad, Adam. You should think yourself priviledged that you had a proper upbringing who learned the risks of life from experience, respect for yourself and others and that life doesn't owe you a living. You are, indeed, a fortunate one amongst your peers. Terry.

And something I noticed about my father's generation (born 1909) when there were no school buses (or any other sort). The older they got, the farther they had had to walk to school. In his case, when he started at age 5, the distance was 3 miles each way, which I know to be correct. Before his death aged 89, this had stretched to 5 miles each way! Nobody argued though, it wasn't worth it. He'd just claim things were different in those days. Terry.

I have to say, Adam, that having converted from bags to prop sox, I know which I prefer. They stay on, dont tear and are easy to fit and remove. Job sorted. Terry.

And if your teachers told you off in school, your father didn't go in and threaten them with physical violence, he threatened you. Terry.

Thirty six, is that all! Many happy returns, Tom and no, I haven't forgotten the camera. Hope to catch up in the next couple of weeks if the weather holds good. I'll get the bike out for a day trip. Terry.

Many happy returns, Martin. Have a virtual pint on me tonight as I will not be present at the meeting. 51,eh, who'd have guessed it? All right, form an orderly queue. Just remember, though; getting older has the advantage that, once over the hill, you begin to pick up speed again! Terry.

Because at that time she wasn't in clink. They were frit. Terry.

No, it's just the nautical branch of his Gay Badgers Brigade. Terry.

Funny that, me too. Terry.

Jas, mate. I'd never realised that being an amputee was actually a job opportunity. I should look at getting an equity card, there may be openings in Casualty, etc. Terry.

Well done, Alun and Dommie (he say's through clenched teeth). I'd put my rods away for the winter but am now wondering if I was a little premature. Terry.

MEN ARE HAPPIER! Men Are Just Happier People -- What do you expect from such simple creatures? Our last name stays the same. The garage is all ours. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack. We can never be pregnant. We can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. We can wear NO shirt to a water park. Car mechanics tell us the truth. The world is our urinal. We never have to drive to another petrol station

Hopefully still 'not quite dead', Jack. Terry.

Well done Andy and Poole Angling Centre. That is a really worthwhile prize and an incentive to report those catches. There is always the feeling that this could be the month. I should imagine anything reported in January could be a contender. Terry.

We had a dusting as well this morning. By the time I'd got the skis out and waxed them, it had gone. Terry.

I don't know, Jack, I was thinking

Charlie, it's also called a transfer switch here. Try this link for an example. Automatic transfer system Terry.

SPEECHLESS! Terry.

That's very elitist! And very funny. 2 out of 2! Not bad going. Terry.

And so say all of us! Terry.
