Just as a matter of interest,my old man makes a lovely cup of tea.
Lately ive been noticing little wet drops on the side and thought they were water

He bought me in a cup of tea to the lounge the other sunday and then just stood there watching the telly for a couple of minutes.

While he was stood there i noticed him Dribbling.

I looked at my tea Noooooooooooo

I'll be driving from Bath to Lichfield to Lancaster intime for Christmas lunch. It'll either be in the Audi or the Caterham (if I can get it going reliably on Saturday...). The empty roads are great

Sorry im with you mum on this one, she obviously wants to sit down to eat dinner as a family, and if you turn up after they have finished and yours is in the oven then you will eat alone.

I just want someone to give me a time when they want me, give me a time and ill be there. Used to pee me off when I was karting, I used to arrive at a track 200miles away with time to spare and one of my team mates would arrive an hour and a half late after the race has started
