Hmmm. The train suddenly seems a lot more appealing.

All this and they want Agincourt recognised as a war crime. Methinks Kermit is getting a little above himself. Now where did I put that longbow?

Bollocks to them, they have a history of surrendering when confronted. Don't know how they will catch the flying GTV with a tatty old 405 diesel anyway. And their guns look a little gay to me ::)
On the other hand I drive with respect when on foreign soil- I am an ambassador for my country's high driving standards ;D Take the back roads and enjoy the scenery- we're on holiday. Whats the big rush?

It's the fine balance between driving slow enough not to get pulled whilst still being over the limit from the ferry crossing and driving fast enough to get back on the beer before you've really sobered up and things start to go wrong.

Not when you here what happened to the guy who dropped his phone down the bog of a TGV. He had to be cut out of the train.

RoTM Emergency services were on Sunday obliged to cut free a TGV passenger whose arm was swallowed by the high-speed train's sucking dunny, the BBC reports.
The unnamed 26-year-old victim - travelling from La Rochelle to Bordeaux - dropped his mobe into the bog and ill-advisedly attempted to retrieve it from the lav's depths. Cue a unsheduled two-hour stop for the train as firemen detached the unit, still clamped firmly to its victim's limb.
Shaken witness Benoit Gigou recounted: "He came out on a stretcher, with his hand still jammed in the toilet bowl, which they had to saw clean off."
This is the first reported incident of cantankerous crapper attack across the Channel, where the machine uprising has until now relied on mephistophelean motors to do its dirty work. UK citizens are, of course, already fully aware of the danger posed by innocent-looking toilets following a spate of assaults which began back in 2001. ®

Henceforth he shall be named "twat" ;D
