Wuss.

I am repeatedly getting the situation that the edit box does not clear when I submit a post. I open the box to reply and my last post is still there with a bar asking if I wish to clear it. This should not be necessary.

They're at least 3 storeys high, higher than the two-storey house on the other side.

The waste of money (and lives) is inconceivable.

The tree that concerns me is this one in my neighbour's yard. If it were to blow over it would take the two back bedrooms off the house. As it is, when it sheds bark, it litters my back yard, and birds love to sit in it over our clothesline and crap all over the washing. My house is on the right, behind the hedge.

Marty, look at the top of this page.

Saw a brief clip on TV where Brian Johnson (AC/DC) and Joe Walsh (The Eagles) were discussing using aliases when they travel to avoid attracting crowds. Joe said one of his aliases was Frank Sumatra.

An old man thinks he is going to lose his driving license and all just because of a stupid police officer.
The conversation went like this when the old man got pulled over in his car:
Officer: “Can I see your driving license please, I think you are drunk!”

Old man: “I assure you, I do not drink alcohol.”

Officer: “Ok, let’s do a little test! Imagine driving in the dark on a motorway at night, when you see two lights in the distance. What is this?”

Old Man: “A car.”

Officer: “Of course! But which one? A Mercedes, an Audi or a Ford?”

Old Man: “I have no idea!”

Officer: “So, you’re drunk.”

Old Man: “But I don’t drink alcohol.”

Officer: “Okay, one more test — Imagine, you drive in the dark on a motorway at night, and there is one light coming at you. What is it?

Old Man: “A motorcycle.”

Officer: “Of course! But which one? A Honda, a Kawasaki or a Yamaha?”

Old man: “I have no idea!”

Officer: “As I suspected, you’re drunk!”

Then the old man started to get annoyed and asked him a counter-question;
Old Man: “So…, counter-question. You’re driving in the dark on a motorway at night and see a woman on the roadside. She wears a mini skirt, fishnet stockings, high heeled shoes and only a bra as a top. What is this?”

Officer: “A prost!tute of course.”

Old man: “Yes, but which one? Your daughter, your wife or your mother?”

Things went downhill from there and now the old man have a court date to attend…

I thought a little old car like the Escort above might just about suit me. Looked them up on the net and people are asking $29000 - $35000 for them. A brand new MG has been advertised on telly for under $20000.

And here are the final solutions to tidy things up. Sorry to have bothered you.
