| Grrrrrrrrrrrr Ran out of petrol How stoooooooooooooooopid  Was driving along with the red light on thinking I can make it to the next garage and then splutter splutter stop  I was sat there , in the sunshine , windows down, no power and feeling a right lemon when this bee then flew into my MINI  First off I was worried it might sting me but then I was fascinated watching it, buzzing up to the fuel gauge repeatedly , almost like it was trying to tell me something, stupid thing I thought, i know I've run out.  Suddenly it buzzed around my head a couple of times and then shot off out of the window again. I got out of the car and opened the filler cap, rocked the car to see if i could hear any liquid in there at all but nothing. Then there was this load humming noise, I look around and there was this bee again but with a massive swarm of bees behind it - PANIC They headed straight for me so I dived out of the way and back into the car, amazed to then watch the bees all one by one go into the fuel tank  After a while they came out again and flew off - needless to say I was really perplexed by all this now and the anger at having run out of fuel was replaced with a sensation of surrealism !!It was then I noticed the fuel gauge, and the reading was now half full again I turned the key and the engine started first time Well I drive off putting the whole experience down to a hangover and that last bottle of red wine last night when I suddenly realised what had happened ........... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . the tank had been filled with B.P.   |

| Oh dear ... you should really be getting out more (or maybe you should be kept in by the nurses at the special hospital more  : : ) This is the most unprofessional bit of site management I have seen since I was banned from a certain other site...at least they had the excuse that they were enthusiasts who had strong views and not professionals paid to keep thier cool! |
