Met a bear in the woods and I couldn't remember if you are supposed to play 'Dead' or 'Dad' :(
Long story short, he can now ride a bike without training wheels :thumbup:

When you are watching tele and see A gorgeous girl in a skimpy little French maid's outfit pushing a Hoover around bending over provocatively. And all you think is, "We used to have a Hoover like that one."

When you know where all the public toilets are
AND
you are V familiar with all the toilets at your friend's houses
AND
when you go into a new building for the first time you are making a mental note to find out where the toilets are

When you fill up with 4-star and think "This used to be 37.5p a GALLON!"

Just because I'm paranoid, it doesn't mean they're not out to get me

4 STAR :!:
Can you still get that?
Not sure when it was exactly but I remember the day they sy=tarted changing from selling it =buy the gallon to by the litre.
I asked me dad 'Why are they changing?' and he said that the old fashioned petrol pumps only had 2 dials and couldn#t go over 99p so that why the sold it by the litre
So, I asked the V obvious question 'What happen when it goes over 99p a litre?'
He laughed and said 'Don't worry son that will NEVER happen!'
I'm glad he died before it happen, think the shock would have killed him
