The IT Crowd is one of my favourites too (same writers as Father Ted?).

I HATE Little Britain though.

Within 5 miles? They're everywhere here :wink: I remember a group of teenage schoolgirls walking past my old bx whilst I was waiting at some lights, and I overheard one comment, "nah, I've gotta find someone rich or I'll end up having to drive something like that"

I did my window up. Humph!

My dream would be to have enough cash to get a reasonable yacht and just travel until I got bored or died :) (The latter being most likely as the most sailing I've done is in a Laser dinghy on a lake)

True, although some* of it is bought by the Eastern Europeans (mainly Latvians, apparently) and taken back by the car-full on the ferries.

* by no means all, looking at some of the munters round here.... :shock:

Yes, once. To help a very nice (and rather vocal) girl move house...

TBH I didn't see enough of it to be able to form an opinion.

Ah, understood :) It's nice to have words of encouragement and appreciation (though perhaps not at 120dB in your ear :) )
I bet the neighbours appreciated though :D
