Just a thought.

Not that I'd do such a thing of course.

I was wondering exactly how much to retighten them? Trial and error.........

Of course Paul, I'm certain you would never do such a thing.............

jimskater · May 28th, 2004, 12:10 PM

I'm off for a 3 day weekend as well. After I go into work today, late. After I take Steve to hospital. Never ending stomach story, phase 23--endoscopy today at 7 am our time.

Here's hoping they find something--and that it can be fixed.

Bad day then Chris ??

Sounds really stupid, but after a bad day and the car gets a little bit abused on the way home when i do get home I feel slighty guilty about thrashing her

mad brummie · May 28th, 2004, 12:15 PM

my car always gets stick but she never seems to complain so it'll be ok

plus I have a certain visitor later that will cheer me up no end
