On the first day, God created the dog and said: 'Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years.' The dog said: 'That's a long time to be barking. How about only ten years and I'll give you back the other ten?' So God agreed. On the second day, God created the monkey and said: 'Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a twenty-year life span.' The monkey said: 'Monkey tricks for twenty years? That's a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the Dog did?' And God agreed. On the third day, God created the cow and said: 'You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer's family. For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years.' The cow said: 'That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. How about twenty and I'll give back the other forty?' And God agreed again. On the fourth day, God created man and said: 'Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I'll give you twenty years.' But man said: 'Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?' 'Okay,' said God, 'You asked for it.' So that is why for our first twenty years we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves. For the next forty years we slave in the sun to support our family. For the next ten years we d o monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren. And for the last ten years we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone. Life has now been explained to you. There is no need to thank me for this valuable information. I'm doing it as a public service.

Opps, what have I started here ???? :16:

A man was sitting reading his papers when his wife hit him round the head with a frying pan. "What was that for?" the man asked. The wife replied "That was for the piece of paper with the name Jenny on it that I found in your pants pocket". The man then said "When I was at the races last week Jenny was the name of the horse I bet on" The wife apologized and went on with the housework. Three days later the man is watching TV when his wife bashes him on the head with an even bigger frying pan, knocking him unconscious. Upon re-gaining consciousness the man asked why she had hit again. Wife replied. "Your horse phoned"

A Woman was out golfing one day when she hit the ball into the woods. She went into the woods to look for it and found a frog in a trap. The frog said to her, 'If you release me from this trap, I will grant you three wishes.' The woman freed the frog, and the frog said, 'Thank you, but I failed to mention that there was a condition to your wishes. Whatever you wish for, your husband will get times ten!' The woman said, 'That's okay.' For her first wish, she wanted to be the most beautiful woman in the world. The frog warned her, 'You do realize that this wish will also make your husband the most handsome man in the world, an Adonis whom women will flock to'. The woman replied, 'That's okay, because I will be the most beautiful Woman and he will have eyes only for me.' So, KAZAM-she's the most beautiful Woman in the world! For her second wish, she wanted to be the richest woman in the world. The frog said, 'That will make your husband the richest man in the world. And he will be ten times richer than you.' The woman said, 'That's okay, because what's mine is his and what's his is mine.' So, KAZAM -she's the richest woman in the world! The frog then inquired about her third wish, and she answered, 'I'd like a mild heart attack.' Moral of the story: Women are clever. Don't mess with them. Attention female readers : This is the end of the joke for you. Stop here and continue feeling good. Male readers : Please scroll down. ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... .. ... ... ... .... ... ... ... ... The man had a heart attack ten times milder than his wife. Moral of the story : Women are really dumb but think they're really smart. Let them continue to think that way and just enjoy the show. PS: If you are a woman and are still reading this; it only goes to show that women never listen...now run along and put the kettle on, there's a good girl.

I am a member in just 2 other forums, S-Max owners (as I now have an S-Max) and a football referee forum. This was also the first I ever joined and hope never to leave. Loved it when I first joined and loved the banter between members i.e. SA Intruder and a few others. I remember well when MUMO4 joined and the traumas she went through with her driving test amongst other things and it makes the forum that more personal and enjoyable and DIFFERENT from other forums. I always pop on here at least once a week just to see whats going on and hope to for some time yet. Just my 2 penneth worth

Seatkid, that was the exact reason I heard off another site (but couldn't remember the name). They called it a 'smart charging system' from Ford. I actually had my car into them once about this and all the did was charge the battery. I've learned to live with it now. :o

It sounds like you have the same problem that affects S-Max's as well. My 56 S-Max still has the flickering lights for the first few minutes and there appears to be no fix from Ford at all. There are lots of people have this on S-Max forums and i suspect as the cars are so similar to Gals, they must have similar wiring and electrics too.

Can I ask how easy they actually are to fit as I've heard some nightmare stories about DIY tints in the past. Cheers

I would, personally, go for the middle option as GPS is much easier to get after the event i.e. TomTom etc. and I dont think I could evr live with a white car.

If it is the standard Vistron unit that was fitted, then I'm afraid there is no way to change the regions or make it multi-region. I went through this myself a couple of years ago and there were a lot of posts about it as well.

Hi Bigtee and welcome to the madhouse. There is lots of previous posts all about tuning chips etc. (I had one on my old Gal). It seems to be divided between whether you have one of the cheap ones or expensive re-mapped\tuning kit. Try typing Tuning Chip in the search an I'm pretty sure you will find a lot of info. Good luck

I didn't think you could 'lock' the code in as if it was stolen, then the thief would be ok to install elsewhere etc. etc. That is the whole idea of codes for radios, I thought. B)

My son has the 1.6 TDCI on his new fiesta and that has the cover fitted.

Does anyone know of a dent removal company, similar to the ones mentioned, in the North Herts area?
