One of our neighbours has bought a very bright red ‘boy racer’ car with a soft top and two doors – naturally. He says when he was younger he was dedicated to racy sports cars and he knew every Chrysler 300 accessory that was on the market. Then along came marriage and family, and only now has he started up on his hobby again.

I may come across as a bit of a business minded dog, but I have to make a crust (or bone) like everyone else. One thing I really find annoying when I am online is those completely uninvited ads that cover the screen when we are trying to read our email. We are planning to start using a popup blocker to stop them annoying us. I think this is best, as the swear box is getting quite full.
