I can't believe how quickly having the radio on in my car accidentally left to the On position in the key area drains the battery. Flat in 10 minutes. I need a new car. . And am now stuck in a car park for an hour.

I did that once in a friends car - I suspect we must have also had the heater on. We were travelling through a country town - the car had power everything, so could'nt wind the window up and felt like dorks wandering around town with lots of camera gear around our necks.

I was flipping through an electronics catalogue while I was waiting for my coffee this morning. As the attendant handed me my coffee he noticed what I was reading and said 'You don't need any more gadgets, Jess'.

Hmmm.

You can never have too many portable battery-powered devices .

Hmmm.

It would be funnier if you were flipping through an electronic electronics catalogue, i.e. on your iPad or equivalent.

We spent 6 days in Ireland where there are roads capable of taking 2 cars if you all breathe in and provided you don't mind losing the hire car wing mirror. Now someone got a bulk deal on 100km/hr speed signs because they are up on roads where you would have white knuckled passengers if you tried that speed.
The streets have frequent name changes to prevent you from getting bored and it does pay to recheck road signs to be certain that someone hasn't turned them around as a joke.
Loved the Ring Of Kerry so be brave and give it a shot.

I'm glad you found the ones that take 2 .... I mainly found the ones that take 1, with a grass strip down the middle And street signs... what street signs? :mrgreen:

Mrs Flashback says I'm not the only one now, thanks cove!

Bob Hawke received an expiation notice for failing to wear a seatbelt (when he was the head honcho), however his behaviour was observed by television cameras...
