Doug, you tell us that speed is bad and kills, but I'm not dead? But how many bugs were splattered on your windscreen eh? Tell me that! Murderer!!

That's a pretty severe case of mis-attribution.

Don't forget though, Doug told us that it's OK to murder if you have a driving license! Although its not fair to pin it all on my car: I mentioned elsewhere in here that my family all went out for a cycle at the weekend. I murdered two innocent flies whilst cycling too - one flew into my mouth and I had to fish the other out of my eye. And I don't even have a license to ride that bike. Damn, what can we blame those deaths on then because clearly the certificate proving that I have passed the legal driving test isn't to blame this time!!

Possession of a car was never mandatory. Peter

I will, after you explain why any driver drives anything with luggage space less than that of a tranbsit van - since otherwise how on earth will they get a dozen panels of 8x4 plywood home? regards, Ian SMith -- |\ /| no .sig |o o| |/ \| |
