Christmas Presents

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

The one thing I hate when out driving my range rover is people dithering right in front of me. The other evening someone was doing 5mph so I flashed my lights to request that he pull in so I was able to pass. When he finally pulled in there was a bit of a flood so after driving through it, I had to test my brakes before pulling away. ;)

GN, what car is your red spoked wheel from?
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

Don't know - it's something from around the 20's but its not my wheel or 2 CV - come to that they along with the late 30's MG TA in the garage at the time belonged to the previous owners of the property and the Merc belonged to the estate agent that was showing us around the property prior to our purchase of it ;)

I got no Christmas presents, I was that ill over christmas I didn't even know what days was what!
I didn't see a Christmas dinner which I know that the rest of the family had, I will settle for a chicken
dinner on Monday nigh which will be the closest thing to it! I'm just happy to be alive after someone
my mother knew who was in the same situation as me wasn't as lucky and never made it back into
hospital like I did and they died before Christmas.(they too had also been sent home by the idiots at
the same first hospital I was first at!!)

Sorryif I burst some bubbles with my post but the biggest gift I got was the gift of life!
I'm Diabetic,& disabled BUT!! NOT DEAD YET!!

I'm lucky I have a good gp who ot me into a good hospital James Cook University Hospital
at Middlesbrough.
It was a little further away but worth it, the local NHS authority has been yelled and screamed
at by the locals and had that many votes of no confidence it is stupid, and council can't get
them out and change the bloody thing I had to go to the next one over for good care!

DON'T fall ill or have an accident near Hartlepool or Stockton on Tees, if you do their NHS is
the dangerous one. If you do have an accident in the area, insist on going to Middlesbrough's
James Cook Hospital! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!
