I wouldn't steal a car. I'm not that stupid.

If I stole a car, with my inability to drive, inability to glance around, and general inabilities, I'd probably drive.. straight into a wall.

If i stole a car I'd probably wish I had stolen the keys to the car also.

@rockford: Me niether. @Jayenkai: Driving ain't as hard as it sounds, a bit like a GoKart with an extra pedal and a gearstick. |

An automatic is even easier. Too easy, some might say.

I only ever owned one automatic, never again.

I would never buy one, unless I couldn't drive a manual - even then I'd consider not driving. My work's van was an automatic a few years ago - fecking uselss in snow/icy conditions, especially on a slope. They replaced it with a manual, however they've ordered an automatic for next year. |

@rockford We live on a steep hill and it recently snowed and our area does NOTHING for roads covered with snow. Seriously, WTF? I have never lived in an area that does not treat snowy roads. Our 1984 4WD Toyota pickup truck (manual) has been parked about 1/4 of a mile away as it cannot make it up the smaller hill, that leads to our hill. I walked down there and tried to bring it home today and still no-go and I ave it in 4WD and even low range. 2 Days in a row. Meanwhile FWD vehicles are zooming around fine. I love the little pickup, but never been impressed by 4WDs in the snow. My old 1980 Fiesta (FWD) would never get stuck or my 1969 VW Beetle. |

Question of the Day : December 8thWhat's the cheapest gift you've ever gotten for someone? |

One time we bought my good aunt a lovely wintery sleigh, with loads of Ferrero Rocher and a giant one that sat on top of the sleigh. It definitely wasn't the cheapest thing we'd bought. ... until she opened it on Xmas day, and it looked like something we could've bought in the pound shop. My mother was utterly disgusted, and we've never used that particular high-street catalogue shop again. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

I got a single pair of socks (in a colour that I never wore) as a work Secret Santa gift 25+ years ago. We'd been asked to buy presents upto £5.00 for a random member of staff. I did my duty. Someone else obviously went to almost 50p... ಠâ•â•®à²

The first works secret santa where the maximum you could spend was £1. All the prezzies were a bit shit that year!

To the shops. A rarity... It's nice to go anywhere, if I'm honest.

Shrewsbury. And more specifically to one of the very rare Wimpy's still in existence. I do love this town though. It's like a 1980's town with shops and things to buy. Almost perfect except for no John Menzies and Boots is still crap having a very poor selection of 8bit games. -=-=- Andy H 8-bit games at www.hewco.uk Cartoons at awful.ovine.net Ovine at ovine.net

John Menzies was bought out by Martins (Martin McColls) - who have just announced that they are closing most of their shops. Soooooo, even if you had a Menzies, it'd probably be closing very soon anyway!  As for Wimpy - I worked in a Wimpy for two weeks over 30 years ago. It was a fun job, but I'd applied for a better (work and pay) job elsewhere and got that the day I started Wimpy. So I gave Wimpy two weeks notice the next day! |

Yeah McColls stock died out in...September-ish this year, i had a few of them, oh well. Hopefully they get bought out by Morrisons soon as it looked like that was on the cards.

Bolton's McColls was on the inside of Crompton Place, on the right of the British Home Stores entrance. I know BHS went kaput a long long time ago, so.. quite what's there now, no idea. And is McColl's still there? Who knows.. I'm visually walking around town, right now. *cries* -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Question of the Day : December 10thHave you ever had to run from the police? |
| Sat, 10 Dec 2022, 08:18 | |

@Jay. That's a perfect description of what I thought it looked like too! I'd never run from the police. I've seen it happen (working in mental health for the last 30 years I've seen a fair share of police and their "clients") - it always ends up worse for the person doing the running. |

Just tacos served fajita style. Very good, love the chicken ones, too, but usually get the beef. Wifey loves their burritos, which are huge. What gets me about people running from the police, is when they are fleeing in a car trying to outrun the police car and helicopter, and they crash the car and get out and take off running thinking they will have better luck outrunning a helicopter on foot. *shakes head* |
