Begging AdvertsMy garden isn’t big enough to keep a wild animal anyway... I think the authorities might have seething to say as well.ViewDate:

Begging AdvertsThen they go onto offer you a cuddly toy or an gift incentive.... Surely the money should be going towards the actual cause. ( After pay the bosses wages of courese)ViewDate:

Worst car(s) you have drivenHi ya... I think that Marina’s had an undeserved reputation as well Maybe it was people just used to love to bash BL products etc. When I was a teenager, my older brother had a 1.8 TC. Twin Carb.... but went like stink. My neighbour had one.... plenty good enough for him. It was the Ford, Vauxhall, BL groups. Obviously.... not so many Far Eastern models then.ViewDate:

Is modern technology really anti-social? Does it get in the way of real, old-fashioned conversation? What do you think and are your experiences.My 92yr old Dad has a saying.... Quote: “ Technology will be the death of man” He is usually right... but we fear for the younger generations future. What goes around, comes around.... I do hope so. I have nothing against evolution, but the World has gone Technology crazy & is creating a sterile environment.ViewDate:

Are we alone in the universe?What’s not to say.... that we are the aliens. Watched a Sunday morning programme, about this very subject. They reckon that aliens would be more insect liken not bipedal like us. Personally.... I believe, why in all the trillions acres of the universe, what makes us so special As for spaceships.... I have seen something, very close up that can’t be explained. A few years ago, a large ‘cigar shaped’ / small airship was hovering virtually just above some houses near me. I thought it was actually landing, I observed it & suddenly it was gone Note: Daytime, lovely clear sky & no drugs or alcohol involved. I have only told a few people.... but you can imagine their response WE ARE NOT ALONE...ViewDate:

Capital PunishmentLike many.... I don’t believe in the death penalty in any form... Mistakes are made, & innocent people are set free many years later. How about old school... hard labour ( Breaking rocks & hours on the the ‘hamster wheel’ etc)ViewDate:

Do tailgaters bother you?Maintain your speed... don’t be intimidated. My dad taught me a trick many years ago... & it works. Just switch your lights on & off. quickly... the flash of red is usually enough for them to get them to react.... or at least get the message. They will learn.... one day. As a side note... it’s dazzling in my rear view mirror that bugs me.ViewDate:

Worst car(s) you have drivenI thought afterwards, that perhaps not everybody can drive. But, even for us drivers.... Please include ANY car you have had the misfortune to be a passenger in. The car doesn’t have to actually have been owned by you...it may have been a hire car, on holiday etc. Basically... anything goes.ViewDate:

Items to put a smile on your faceI took my car for its MOT yesterday & the mechanic asked if I was staying or coming back later. I had the day off, so I said I would stay & sit in the observation areas. The mechanic explained, that it might take a bit longer than normal as he had a trainee with him. It was no bother & he would not charge me full price. The test was going OK. thumbs up all around. The mechanic then shouted to the trainee. “Are the indicators working” He replied....”YES, no, YES, no, YES”...ViewDate:

Did the punishment fit the crime?My teacher in Secondary school & used to pull you up by your ear. When you was on tiptoe.... he just kept pulling. ( Note: Only the boys got this treatment) Other than that.... PE teacher had a very flexible old style ‘Pe shoes). The cane was also still in use then...I was a good(ish) boy though.ViewDate:

Nuisance Telephone CallsI have just changed the ringtone on the phone. If the default tone rings... it gets ignored. Direct family & friends have separate tones too. It’s still a bit annoying, but at least we can ignore it or just ‘red button’ it. Our motto... “ if it’s important.... they will ring back”ViewDate:

Worst car(s) you have drivenMy neighbour had one of those....a Vanden Plas, the really posh one with the horrible grill. (Pretend Rolls Royce) And don’t dare call it an Allegro...the original Mrs Bucket who lived on a council estate.ViewDate:

Worst car(s) you have drivenIn the early 00’s, I had two young children ( only 15mths apart) & young teenager. The 205, double buggy etc had to go. Wanted.... 4 door, medium sized car with a large boot. Result: 1993 Proton GLS ( 1.3 MPI); The engine was quite smooth & relaxing & the GLS spec included wind up windows all around. BUT.... It was so gutless & Jeremy Clarkson was bang on the money... Quote: “I’ve been on better handling barges”, or words to that effect. Now... where’s that Datsun Stanza.ViewDate:

Repeats you WANT to seeI think that there are loads of old series that should be shown...but it’s all about the ‘PC’ content. So alas... many classics will remain on the shelves gathering dust.ViewDate:
