I was hoping it was a Twingo

I think it was along the lines of "a whole new dimension" regarding the supposed Tardisesq qualities of it.

I'm not sure I understand you - in what way is the government greedy? What do you suggest they are doing with fuel taxes?

Well, i don't see much evidence in the duty being invested in improving our our roads. I don't know about anywhere else but the roads round here are a mess. Pot holes, sunken manholes blah de blah. Not just motorists complaing, cyclists are complaining too.

So when you hear how much MPs claim on allowances it is confirming the theory that in every game there are 2 pockets.

Well yes but one pocket is much bigger than the other. The other one's like that little pocket-in-a-pocket you get in jeans that has no conceivable use.

In my youth, I was always told that those pockets-in-a-pocket were designed to carry certain rubberised contraceptive devices; and were kept separate from the main pocket so you didn't mistakenly hand the barman the item in question with the 45p for the third double vodka you were buying her to get her in the mood.

Genius. I never knew that!

I shall remember to make sure I keep such items in the small inner pockets in future.

My mother has natural gas piped in to run the Aga, which keeps the house particularly snug. Well, one end of it at least.

Presumably they are burning off excess on the platforms. I could ask my dad. He was a construction engineer for BP.

Still working at Tesco, then?

I have used it myself in the past for my house key; keeping my bus fare separate and ready to go; my poker chip stack protector; two paracetamols in their blister pack cut off from the rest; storing those litle Monopoly game stickers from McDonalds packaging; and a paperclip.

You watch...when ID cards are introduced they'll be just the right size...

No, they kicked me out for nicking a load of AAs when noone was looking.

You're wrong: they must have been looking or you wouldn't have been kicked out.

Yep, that's Tesco for you.

All the staff are pretty random.

(Sorry Mr Grandtheft!)
