You've been playing with babelfish.

putting "liar, liar, pants on fire" through english-japanese-english-korean-english gives "Liar, liar and sudden pants."

adding russian to that gets: "Liar, liar and not expected are drawers."

then go from that to french, german and back to english:

"The liar intended liar is not and contactors."

like I said a while back, all our threads contain either Python or HHGTTG ;-)

I can recommend Gaffa Tape - it's (sadly) now seen as a bit 'Un-PC' though, as is using bungee straps to keep the little bleedahs on the roofrack.

yes, 'tis the only way to get good mpg figures from a 101!

How do you maintain your seatbelts ? You don't, you inspect them, or the MOT does. The same should apply to your car seats, rather than creating needless waste.

There probably arnt many 101 owners whose trucks havent spent some time on a transporter truck! ;)

Regarding the 'hot water' nannying, a certain TV station in my area has recently moved premises. I'm delighted to say that one feature that's survived the move is the notices in the washrooms "Beware of Very Hot Water coming from the Tap". Now personally I'm not worried about very hot water coming from the tap. It's very hot water coming from the light fitting, out of the door lock, through the paper towel dispenser, up through holes in the floor etc that scares me!

Lol. Like "out of sight, out of mind" becomes "invisible idiot".

Looking on the bright side, they are supplying you with Very Hot Water, informing you of the fact, and then leaving you to decide as a mature individual what to do about it.

Better that than to have only tepid water, just in case anyone hurts themselves. What use is that, if you have spent your lunchtime fiddling with the Landy to make sure you get home again, and have an important client to see in the afternoon?

or up from the WC?

It's a right of passage with owning a 101 :-)

T'would probably have been Halon.

Perhaps our brains are too highly evolved.

Well after my first off-roading session yesterday in the now road-legal pinz, I found out that not only do I have six drum brakes to clean, but also it does 10 MPG so I reckon I might have to use the RAC to save fuel too!

When the self-same driver and truck came for mine, the first thing he said was "do you know the bloke with the purple one?"....
