Just wondering if anyone else would use a live chat section (chat room), if admin made one available on this forum.
I've been on a U.K. Army forum, and been on their Live Chat thingy, such a laugh and made a long boring night shift fly by.

O.K. so you might think I'm going a little mad here, but I've noticed that the water in my bath goes down the plug-hole clockwise, and anti-clockwise (counter-clockwise) down the sink plug-hole.

And no, my bath and sink are not on opposite sides of the equator. Nor have I forgotten to take my medication.

Anyone else got this strange thing going on?

The Volvo I won't be able to pony up a year's insurance on for at least another two months or so, and I don't want to for three. The ford will be running out in one, so I was thinking I'll just let it all run out, sell the...
