Is that the 1970's, 1870's or your 70's Darwin?  rubschin:

Some of them are a bit of a judgement call.  There's always a pack of tissues in the car but for cleaning the inside of the windscreen - well that and clearing up the blood when CDB restarts.  So I had to say yes but don't think that's what they meant

Anyway why is only the Meister and I brave enough to show our scorecards then Boogs?
