Craig Orr's ,next to C&C, is recommended for an MOT . They have taken good care of a few vehicles of mine in the past, when they were in Renfrew . My V-8 Landrover , my brothers Beemer 520 , my dads Carlton CDI and other cars all recieved treatment for various ailments at Craigs and they always sorted the problems first-time and at a good price. Craig was always looking for bigger premises so that he could do MOT's etc , instead of farming it out to his Dad's place I'm not connected in any way BTW , just passing on a recommendation based on experience

As above . I've been offered a Nokia 6600 mobile cheap . Im informed that it will run Tom Tom Mobile software if I get a 128 Mb card and a Bluetooth GPS receiver . I can't afford to go the PDA route , so is this setup a good alternative ? Anyone tried it ? Al.

I once got 27 mpg I was taking my Dad (78)home and back (180miles A-roads ) He was wearing his neck-support , so I was not accelerating or braking hard , but I was still hitting 3 figures at times When we got home the old man told me he'd done the journey 1/2hr quicker a few years ago when he'd the BMW 323 But he said my Magnex back-box had a nice "note" to it , and I should have put my foot down more PS; He only sold his 323 convertable 'at 76yrs cos he was unable to get out of the seat 'cos it was too low , he has a Rover 75 now

May have been posted before . . . but there's some beauts here . . . I saw a woman wearing a sweatshirt with 'Guess' on it. I said, "Thyroid problem?" When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bike. Then I realised, God doesn't work that way, so I stole one and asked him to forgive me I've often wanted to drown my troubles, but I can't get my wife to go swimming. I was doing some decorating, so I got out my step ladder. I don't get on with my real ladder I went to a restaurant that serves 'breakfast at any time'. So I ordered French toast during the Renaissance Well I was bullied at school, called all kinds of different names but one day I turned to my bullies and said - 'Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me', and it worked! From there on it was sticks and stones all the way My Dad used to say 'always fight fire with fire', which is probably why he got thrown out of the fire brigade Sex is like a game of bridge: If you don't have a good partner, you'd better have a good hand I saw six men kicking and punching the mother-in-law. My neighbour said ?Are you going to help?' I said 'No, Six should be enough' If we aren't supposed to eat animals, then why are they made out of meat? I think animal testing is a terrible idea; they get all nervous and give the wrong answers You know that look women get when they want sex?

Why is it called Alcoholics Anonymous when the first thing you do is stand up and say, 'My name is Kathy, and I am an alcoholic'? Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer?

Peter Kay's Universal Truths; Triangular sandwiches taste better than square ones At the end of every party there is always a girl crying One of the most awkward things that can happen in a pub is when your pint-to-toilet cycle gets synchronised with a complete stranger You've never quite sure whether it's ok to eat green crisps Everyone who grew up in the 80's has entered the digits 55378008 into a calculator - then turned the figures upside down Reading when you're drunk is horrible Sharpening a pencil with a knife makes you feel really manly You're never quite sure whether it's against the law or not to have a fire in your back garden Nobody ever dares make cup-a-soup in a bowl You never know where to look when eating a banana It?s impossible to describe the smell of a wet cat Prodding a fire with a stick makes you feel manly Rummaging in an overgrown garden will always turn up a bouncy ball You always feel a bit scared when stroking horses Everyone always remembers the day a dog ran into your school The smaller the monkey the more it looks like it would kill you at the first given opportunity Some days you see lots of people on crutches Every bloke has at some stage while taking a pee, flushed half way through and then raced against the flush Old women with mobile phones look wrong It?s impossible to look cool whilst picking up a Frisbee Driving through a tunnel makes you feel excited You never ever run out of salt Old ladies can eat more than you think You can't respect a man who carries a dog There's no panic like the panic you momentarily feel when you've got your hand or head stuck in something No one knows the origins of their metal coat hangers Despite constant warning, you have never met anybody who has had their arm broken by a swan The most painful household incident is wearing socks and stepping on an upturned plug People who don't drive slam car doors too hard You've turned into your dad the day you put aside a thin piece of wood specifically to stir paint with Everyone had an uncle who tried to steal their nose Bricks are horrible to carry In every plate of chips there is a bad chip Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad

Do you have Chicken-balls ?

My Mum was telling her friend that she was thinking about buying a 3-door car . her friend said that it was a good idea 'cos . . . . . . . . . . . "no-one really uses the back-door on the drivers side"
