Same sort of people who are calling their little boys things like Oscar or Archie or Fred or Arthur nowadays?

it's just a poor, and old picture, if you really think I look 7 in that picture...

is this just going to turn into abuse over my name? I don't see anything wrong with being called Ronnie.it's not as extreme as names such has "Zacharia" or "Xander" or "zebedee," or "Bibette." I know people with names like that, and worse

My parents aren't old-fashioned or anything. I am in fact, much older than seven, despite how you think I look...

those were the days. always fills me with nostalgia to think of when I was young.

And a fair point it is too. I go mental at any passengers in my car who throw their fag butts or any other litter out of the window of my car. I have 4 ashtrays in my car so there really is no excuse to bung them out of the window. As for banning smoking while driving i can see some sense in it. If i haven't got a passenger to light my ciggie for me i have to rummage through my handbag for my ciggies and lighter and then take my eyes off the road for a split second to light it. If i happen to drop it in the footwell i have to pull over to look for it before i burn i whopping great hole in the carpet.

If i'm doing a long journey on my own i tend to chew gum until i get to the services for a coffee and fag break. Unless i'm stuck in a traffic jam on the M25, then i have all the time in the world to find my cigs and lighter.

My "little man" is called Oscar, but then again he's a quadraped, and he's 11 (or 77 in dog years)

I had a simple solution to this problem:

Place fags & lighter firmly between thighs before starting engine.
Never take eyes off road/motorway during light-up sequence.
Never use car ashtrays, always dispose of said out of window.

I misread that as 'nude' at first.

Well, who knows what's going on behind our computer screens, eh?

Indeed Katnap - Alarsne53 could've been up to anything!
