I think I know now why nobody has turned up for the Mr. Magoo club meet!

Deppression is ...... Being stuck like this when the car radio is broken but CD's still play, and all you have is 1 Sydney Devine CD!

Broken friendship is ...... Suggesting the Sydney Devine CD is played again!

"You and your....'I know a short cut...be a lot quicker' !"

This reminds me of when a mate and I were driving to Austria, my navigating somehow got us taken through the centre of Brussels, when there was a demonstration going on and we drove round in circles, only realising when we passed the same broken down car for the second time....and my mates car was starting to overheat....;-)

"Roses are red, traffic congestion gives me headache. I know a dumb campaign, and it goes by name of... Ah, damn it; I forget now" :P

Just pushing the boat out :wink: It must be killing Steve not to be able to use that line here :lol:

Hey Zippy, isn't it aboutime you judged this comp and handed back the gold trophy that you've had hocked for the last couple of months? Rumours have it, that you've melted it down, to have a couple of nice holidays and to buy Xmas presents with....;-)

P.S. Just cos you've put in more entries than most, it doesn't mean that you can win it and keep it a bit longer.... :lol:

Zippo is currently on his hols in "oh no not another sunny day how will I cope" Lanzarote, and will get on to this matter on his return once the effects of all that sun, sand, sea, good food, fresh air hic, and ummm alcohol have worn orf. He's doing this on a dumbphone so scuse any typing tragedies.
