1157060	2010-11-28 02:40:00	**** me dead this is ******* fantastic,No ****I can and have done all those things. The skid control was when driving drunk on a gravel road managed to save it.

1157061	2010-11-28 03:18:00	Come on Terry! - a man of your distinction and generation should know it should be Thermos Flask (not thermoflask), and anyway, that's a trade name - it's really a vaccum flask (en.wikipedia.org) invented by James Dewar in 1892. Tell you what tho, I have seen the other thing spelt as "billie" (same sort of person who thinks that a female should be called "Leslie" and not "Lesley"!) :horrified	tuiruru (12277)
1157062	2010-11-28 03:31:00	A man must also know how to fix the winch when it won't stop. :p Happened to me once. Wouldn't stop even after we disconnected the battery :stare:	pcuser42 (130)
