Lovely! read Cat In The Hat to my lad only last night. He's too young to know who Dylan is, but I'll have to play this to him!

Don't they? With recent day car design trends they often integrate them somewhere in a cluster of lights that may make it look like there is no indicator. But then it's only obvious if/when they actually indicate!

That is very common everyday usage where I live.

On occasion indicators/winkers/turn signals only actually occur when the expensive car has actually started making the turn. Still, we should be grateful for small mercies

The new law regarding using mobile phones whilst driving is being blatantly flaunted. As are a lot of driving laws in this country.

I wish a law were passed that said instead of the feeble and ignored prohibition of the use of cell phones while driving, it was actually expected of upright citizens that they would shoot anyone seen driving with one in their hands. Maybe get a reduction on your insurance premium for instant death

well, that seems a little harsh. Maybe paint ball guns? Or BBs? I like paint ball better. Seriously, I do not habitually talk on mine while driving. I'm usually busy putting on my makeup or fixing my hair.

p.s. just kidding!

I think it should also be compulsory to smack people who walk around airports and other public places on their hands frees. I saw about 15 today, and they all looked like pricks. And they all had nothing to say, they were just pretending (which is a funny thought, as this was Madrid, and the first time I saw someone driving with a mobile was there c. 1990, and we joked that he - 50 year-old businessman - was on the phone to his mum asking what was for dinner, which is probably what he was actually doing!).

I am delighted, though, that they often find it necessary to speak at such volumes as to compete with the airport intercom system, and the jet engines of a 767. The stories are fascinating: "how Phyllis let me down again!", or "why hasn't the tender gone out" or "what I am going to do when I get home from this extended trip" or "how cute the kids are when they are shooting flaming arrows into a marching band" or the like.

I am so tired of passive conversation eavesdropping. It's as bad as passive smoke. Probably more carcinogenic.

Or those bastards that are driving along in the middle lane, doing 95 mph, looking at their iPods as they're listening to Heathen Town - trying to figure out which bonus disc the demo version comes from and not paying any attention to the road in front of them ........ uhhhh...... and what about that person in front of you, while your low on wiper fluid, decides to clean his windshield, getting his windshield washer fluid all over your windshield, forcing you to make unscheduled use of your precious windshield washer fluid......and the people standing two abreast on the moving walkway - I goose those folks now, gets 'em moving quick.

same, but substitute cashews for peanuts. Raw, preferably. Good for you too? Excellent source of Chromium, which beats the alternative method of ingesting it.

Funny, I just this moment mixed the following in a jar:

1 package Trader Joe's roasted salted fancy mixed nuts (Cashews, Almonds, Hazelnuts, Pecans, Brazils, in order of prevalence)
1 package Trader Joe's cinnamon [candied] almonds

Salt. Sugar. Fat. Mmmmm....

I really wish I could afford to live without a roommate. Or at least without a roommate who loves techno and has to listen to it every second of the day.
