Wow. I thought I had it bad... I get only get 19miles per gallon on premium (probably the same as "optimax"?), but I don't have to pay ridiculously high gas prices... If my math is correct that's only around £4.5 for me to go 45 miles. You get to go a lot faster than me, though, and I'd gladly pay the extra money to go that fast

It's an installation, one of a series of 'Panopticons' across East Lancashire. More info HERE. Certainly an odd sight, but it made for a few interesting snaps.

Mulcahy, you're a grumpy old cu....

I will be 36 this year nearer to 40 than 30, it is a bit of a wast of money and as for culture I watched last night at the proms about 10 years ago. The pics are fantastic Pete you are getting an eye for it now.

She can't be that bad, she just has to lay there and think of Tamiyas or is that you? To delay the explosion? Or does it make it worse?
