I don't see it in that ad. No cigarette lighter. He is sitting in the car and admiring the leather, remarking that at least it is not fur...

How boring, empty and pitiful must some people's lives be that they feel the need to even bother making a fuss about this sort of thing?

Tell mw about it. We have gone from stiff-upper-lipped 'never say anything', to a country of right whingers.

I was working on relaying a section of knackered rail in Derby Station on Sunday.

Some sad git came up to us and started moaning at great length about how much noise placing the new stone made!

Ironic that at one point he stopped his rant 'cos we coudn't hear over the noise of a passing train (which he may well have ended up under if I hadn't walked away)

Cheers, Phil
