    No! You can't just go cold turkey on ebay. You won't cope and will end up binge bidding. Cut down gradually ...with support from your friends and family.

    Is cracking another word for having a dump? If so, there's your answer.

Anyone know of a good, cheap action cam for recording driving footage?

    I use a Contour camera for mountain biking and don't see why it wouldn't be any good for use in a car. Decent quality footage, good build quality and battery life is great (good few hours) if it ever gets unplugged. I have the Roam 2 model which was around £135 last year.

    Also, there is a new GoPro out which is their cheaper model (Just the "Hero") which can be had for just under £100. Will probably be ok for the car too.

    I just don't see what all the fuss is about, over a little snow. my drive home in it was pretty uneventful and even getting down and back up my snow covered hill was just as uneventful

Well that's a bit rubbish: it seems my job is going "at risk" next week. Means I won't have one in a few months. Poo.

    Aw thanks sweetie :) It shouldn't be too bad - they will look to keep us but in a different role - we get priority whilst we're "at risk".

I honestly don't know how my engine was running at all... All pistons rings were shot with #3 piston being held together only by dark matter... Main bearings and big-ends were rougher than a cheese grater, and had attacked the crank very violently. Some bright spark had also managed to crossthread the flywheel bolt all the way in and the gearbox was full of iron shavings. Mind = blown.

    It had a piece of black tape over the oil pressure gauge because it had no pressure. Nothing at all. I wonder why... :P

    At least something didn't seize and then chuck a rod through the block. Seen that before - it wasn't pretty!
