It washes the dust off very well I find. Also has the effect of clearing my bowels every time I go round a corner.

Wow! That's some modification, fitting a colonic irrigation pipe in your car - Very Lax Bowels.

I've just been down to the Tyne, bugger me if it's not the highest I've ever seen it! Quite fun for me really (I live on the top of a valley) but I feel for the people who are now flooded

Yes, down the bottom of the valley there is a street which is near the tyne, when it gets as high as it was the other night they are flooded.

To be fair, the sign "water level here, 1826" (or similar) should give them an indication that the river floods when they bought the house .

did you not know that walk is flooded?

These were taken just down the road from me :




There is a house just round the corner which the water floods through to get back to the stream - you'd think he'd do soemthing about it as it's been flooding there for years!

I've got one you can have. Don't use it anymore. It's for young bendy people like you.

My dad has made a Canadian Canoe, all it needs is to have the fibre-glass sanded down and painted and we're set.

Then again, since the last time I went in a Kayak I nearly drowned I might have some reserves about getting in it

No it bloody can't!!
I'm struggling to get the car put together for the MOT, which is less than 4 hours away!
I've had to get my Dad to do most of the work today as it's dry.

Summer time my hat...
