She hasn't gone to Cardigan Fields has she?

I don't see Top Gear as a car programme. It's 3 mates, having a mid life crisis, messing about on TV each week. Sure there's cars involved, but they're almost an irrelevant part of the show these days. If you want opinions and advise on regular cars then 5th Gear is much more the show for you.

As for Clarkson, I prefer it when he's not talking about cars. His rants at politicians usually come from the motoring angle as well, so I take them with a pinch of salt. He's much better when he's making serious documentaries. The one for Greatest Living Britain on Brunel was a fine example, as was the show about his father-in-law, who won the VC. The only time he's come remotely close to this on Top Gear was at the end of their American special, when he layed into Bush and his administration about what they found in New Orleans.

I've got a car some might class as a p[ieni[/is extension I suppose.

Its' lower end luxury but top of its' range.

I got it not because I considered it "cool". I decided against a BMW 3 series as they're driven by t[ioss[/iers.

I do however like the really unimportant but gadgety gadgets that its' got. Rear parking camera means I now never have to look behind me when reversing, which creates problems when I drive my wifes gadget free car, Automatic lights and wind-screen wipers mean I never have to exert myself to turn them on.

Wing mirrors that tuck in when I switch off the engine (and come out when I switch it on) and a steering wheel that moves out to meet me when I do it makes me feel like james Bond.

These are the things that are important to me.

Is this thread drift?

Tesco sell allsorts of stuff now, you dont have to eat fish and chips every night.

They have a great selection of Australian Wines at Tesco. A lot easier and cheaper to get then hopping onto a Quantas is nipping down to my local Tesco.

They also have a fine selection of californians which I find to be much nicer.

It's Qantas, not Quantas. Of course it should have a u as the second letter, we all know that, but that's Australians for you,

I think acronyms are exempt from that rule. Not that they know that, they just got lucky.

To get back on topic - boring I know - what 23 year old wouldn't relish the chance to earn good money, experience a different lifestyle & still be young enough to go back home if it didn't work out or he didn't like it here after all?
The salary cap means that you can't have (or at least keep) world class players in every position so the art ss to balance the books, maintain the balance of the side and plan for the future.
Something that I think the club has achieved over the past few years.
I bet Bradford wish they had an administration as adept as ours.

Oh be quiet. Any excuse to have a go at the bread stealers, you should know that

Have you ever put it in reverse to have a look at any ladies walking behind the car?

I'm defo no wine buff!! But Some of the best aus wine makers export a minimal amount of wine!! I would say a visit to the barrosa vally for a wine tour is a must for anyone going to aus who likes a drink!! A top day out and down to earth as you can get!!
