    The jet lag flying east from the states is crippling. You basically lose half a day and because flights travel through the night and you're chasing the sun, if feels like a short amount of darkness. You see the sun set, then rise again a few hours later. Then when you land it's half way through the following day and you've skipped one.

    I tend to stay overnight in a cheap travelodge at near the airport and get the train home the following day.

    I dropped off the spare set of keys and they looked wrecked. I didnt hear from them for about 3 days <laugh>

  3. ...via the M25.

    My wife always insists on driving, just in case I decide to have a few shandys.

  4. The segments will be in a state of revolt when they read that comment, Roofie.

  5. Thank you.

    My wife was terribly shaken up. Our 14 year old, who was sitting in the front passenger seat suffered a few minor cuts from where the windscreen exploded inwards. Myself and my 6 year old, who were both sitting in the back, were asleep and were woken by the impact.

    The car is a write-off. The police and the salvage crew told us that we are all very lucky to be alive, and if you saw the car you'd understand why they'd say that.

    We were dumped at Winchester Services with all our bags and cases, and were it not for the generosity of two family members, who drove some distance to collect us, we would have been stranded for many more hours than we were.

    It is very difficult to let too much get you down when you have this kind of experience, so I don't mind the segments having their fun. It makes them happy.

    Don't worry HIAG, your avatar is safe with me. I'm going to be busy producing cream, 7 days a week over the coming months, to keep up with demand, however you give me a shout when you want your avatar returned.

  14. Thanks, Clive.

    It will be almost as though I had never changed my avatar.

    I wouldn't normally do this ... but it's "You're" ... plus it's actually Trigonella foenum-graecum and Cannabis ...

    PS Can you girls sort your Quote paramaters ... it's very confusing and could lead to me taking the piss out of the wrong person ...
