You couldn't make it up!

Quote from: Yahoo! Web Site
A coach carrying the jury for the inquest into the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, has crashed outside The Ritz Hotel in Paris.

Crowds of journalists watched the coach pulling up when it struck a small pillar, bursting a tyre and sending a resounding bang around the elegant square.

The vehicle's wheel trim shot off and a large gash could be seen in the tyre.

Heard this on the news ........ BUT ..... a question. What are you doing in the UK that enables you to spend all this time on a PC/Laptop talking to us? You could have done it from home and saved the airfare (and carbon boot print).
It is always a joy to talk to you but for Heaven's sake go out and enjoy yourself!

I jus’ know you wouldn’t cope without me (specially Wenchy) so I feel it is my duty to be here…  whistle:

Anyway, have visited just about the entire family at the crematorium this morning so I need some R & R now.
