    I had a car like that once. It could be written off just by emptying the
    tank.

    I think I might have read this years and years ago - Is it the book where
    nearly every chapter contains the sentence "it was at this point that
    disaster became inevitable"? The one where the author is trying to pull of
    a dry, dispassionate tone, but seems to have an eerily morbid fascination
    with the subject?

    Not sure of the "disaster became inevitable" quote (I haven't a copy to
    hand). I think the morbid fascination is /because/ of the dry detached
    tone. Given it was written in 1957 ish (updated 1971 IIRC) it has a
    certain deadpan humour.

    Well, I think its hilarious. TBTGOG...

    Err... How are you with bright lights ATM? Only a stiff neck can (IIRC)
    be a symptom of meningitis.

    Yeah, here we go: http://www.musa.org/symptoms.htm

  7. A particularly fascinating book was "Great British Railway Disasters",
    published some 20 or 30 years ago. Curl up with a copy of that and a cup
    of milky cocoa and you're sorted on a dismal winter's evening.

    The message <>
    Apparently, if you have an accident while you're giving it laldy
    with the *first* sneeze, it counts as "an act of god" but if it's
    a second or subsequent sneeze it counts as "dangerous driving"?

    I read that somewhere........perhaps JP will know if it's true?

    Perhaps through the dispersal pattern of the, er, deposits.

    Well yes, but how do they prove that one was desposited 12m/s before that
    one?

    (I realise there is absolutely no benefit to knowing this.. perhaps we
    should change it to be sneezing in a helmet...?)
