Ok, this should be the ideal contest for ukrmers as it involves a knowledge of France, the ability to do back of a fag packet maths and loads of blind luck. What you have to do: Step (1) Select a petrol station in France Step (2) Calculate how far from that petrol station a small, flat object placed on the roof of a large car (driven at +/- 50% of the speed limit) would take to fall off. Step (3) Go to the co-ordinates plotted by steps 1 & 2 and see if there's anything interesting there.

what a fucking muppet I insure against such occurences by having a spare credit card stashed in the car. Of course, selling your Mazda MX6, just after a trip to France, with a Goldfish VISA card stashed in the tool roll is not the best idea. Especially when you only miss the card about 15 months later, after a replacement for the soon to be expired card is received.
How about unlimited use of the plastic? -- Dave GS850x2 XS650 SE6a "It's a moron working with power tools. How much more suspenseful can you get?" - House
Well as he texted me to get the numbers he had to call to cancel them there's prolly not much point. Plus, who ever heard of a Geordie who wasn't bang up to the limit on all of their credit cards? You can buy beer and scratch cards with them, you know. -- AndrewR, D.Bot (Celeritas) Aprilia RSV-1000R, Honda VFR750F-L, Kawasaki ZX-6R, Fiat Coupe 20v Turbo BOTAFOT#2,ITJWTFO#6,UKRMRM#1/13a,MCT#1,DFV#2,SKoGA#0 (and KotL) BotToS#5,SBS#25,IbW#34, DS#5, COSOC# Suspended, KotTFSTR# The speccy Geordie twat.
I had some weirdness when swapping from an SE phone to Nokia. I transferred the numbers by putting the new SIM in the old phone. I ended up with a load of the numbers stored in locations such as "other" rather than "mobile". Of course, a quick sync using the Outlook address book on my PC soon had it all under control.
It's in mine, tho... -- Champ ZX10R | GPz750turbo | GSX-R 600 racer My advice as your attorney is to buy a motorcycle To email me, neal at my domain should work.
Oh dear. That's not at all funny. At least it wasn't when I did it years ago. I guess times have changed.
As long as you can laugh about it now, eh? Time and it being somebody else are great healers. -- AndrewR, D.Bot (Celeritas) Aprilia RSV-1000R, Honda VFR750F-L, Kawasaki ZX-6R, Fiat Coupe 20v Turbo BOTAFOT#2,ITJWTFO#6,UKRMRM#1/13a,MCT#1,DFV#2,SKoGA#0 (and KotL) BotToS#5,SBS#25,IbW#34, DS#5, COSOC# Suspended, KotTFSTR# The speccy Geordie twat.
And got a response. When I told him his stupidity was all over ukrm, he responded 'Fame at last!' -- Champ ZX10R | GPz750turbo | GSX-R 600 racer My advice as your attorney is to buy a motorcycle To email me, neal at my domain should work.
Actually, it was a car park. We got back to the car; I'd taken my wallet out of the camera bag and put it on the roof while I chucked the camera bag into the back of the car, intending to pick up the wallet and put it in the front door pocket when I got in. Before doing so I got distracted by observing someone manoeuvring a large 4WD into the cramped space next to us... the next time I thought about my wallet we were 15 miles away. Well, I guess somebody's had a good night out on the ~EUR200 that was in there. The most annoying thing about the whole experience was the waste of several hours of our holiday involved in two visits to the local police station, talking to four different coppers, filling in the same form twice (apparently "le photocopier" hasn't made it to southern France), only to be told at the end that because it wasn't a theft and there were no pieces of ID involved, the police weren't getting involved so I can't prove that I've reported it for the insurance claim.
Yeah, thanks for that. Unfortunately, one of the numbers, after navigating the menu system, dropped me into a voicemail system. Fan-bloody-tastic. And motorbikes. Don't forget motorbikes.
