Today I saw on a friends van a neat tool box shape in the same place. It sat behind the top of the spare tyre and was still the length of the pipe on mine. I thought it what a...

Don't know how PC this is but here goes: The sportsmen were talking about their greatest sporting ambition. The first bloke was a golfer. He said he'd love to be in the US Open and come to the last hole of play. He'd be a stroke behind with the leader making a beautiful 30 foot putt for par. He'd be well up t...

To fill, simply e...
