Useless Advice And A Product Oppurtunity
"Objects in this mirror are closer than they appear"
I dont seem to have a problem when brushing my teeth every morning? I am neither tailgaiting the bathroom mirror or straining to see it, ergo, why dont the happy chappies at toyota, ford, etc, make their car mirrors out of the same stuff as every other mirror on the face of the planet!?!
Rant.....

Today
I found a mop in the garage that had printed upon it "do not use near overhead power lines"

I blame France
Went off to south of france with the rents about 5 years ago. Did we fly? Nope. Coach. Most people would run away at the idea but it was a "King Class" coach and boasted comfort and meals throughout. Nice way to see a bit of scenery too. Trip down was ok, coming back was the icing on the camels hump.
If i recall we left the site at about 5am, by 5.05am we smacked a coach coming the opposite direction, left the coach with a nice go faster stripe down the left side and the pensioners sitting at point of impact with go faster stripes on their "extra legroom" seats. After 45 minutes of swapping insurance details we were off again. They then announced that the meals to be provided consisted of chicken and mushroom pot noodles and hot water. That really didnt help the already clogged space toilet at the back, which by the way was only for use in emergencies?!?!? We stop in service station to stretch legs, and the driver snaps they key in the ignition. french assistance called (ill leave you to speculate whether the gits turned up or not) Everyone has a go at fiddling with the key to see what would happen, after a good 2 hours, engine roars into life. Off we go, another pot noodle induced toilet stop three hours later, guess what happens, driver turns off engine. Bus falls silent, quiet "merde" heard from front of bus. Ok this time were really feckered so we call again, eventually succeed by flagging down french RAC from the road. New ignition, were off. Ok petrol, (by this time its night) we stop, fill up, driver sits down, "snap" key breaks, "see title" so now were back to taking turns fiddling with the key when the lightning starts, forked lightning, lots of forked lightning, centralised over the small town were parked in, next to the aged petrol pump. Nobody wants to die in a shite coach in france so fear helps us start coach again, and were off. now about 20 hours into our 12 hour drive were appraoching english channel, bus starts swerving. Man in front row kindly starts chatting to driver to keep the gimp awake and eventually we make it to england (after being told we HAVE to turn engine off on ferry for obvious reasons......cue fiddling) me and the rents decide not to continue to london to get train back and get taxi from ferry home.
Moral of story
A) Dont go to france
B) Dont go to france on a club cantabrica coach
C) dont eat nothing but pot noodle for 24 hours
Length, considerably bigger than any frenchmans, less likely to break.
