Once caught one from London to Leeds and thought the thing was going to tip over. We don't have them here except those open top things for tourists. (Easier to shoot at them without the roof on). My tractor runs on deisel, can you send some? Quite an eventful night alright! I love double-decker buses. Once caught one from London to Leeds and thought the thing was going to tip over.

You have just answered all their problems!! Mind you, I did suggest before that Mary Harney could be melted down for bio-fuel. It’s amazing the result of a simple typo!

The stuff you cook your chips in. Running buses on PPL would be very smelly. Mind you with all the passengers who travel free, using PPL might at least generate some return for Dublin Bus.

PPL = People? Dublin Bus are mixing passengers with their fuel? I suppose it makes sense. As long as they pay their fare before they are melted down. Hold on Ian. PPL = People?

When I lived in the country I had a central heating boiler that ran on 35 sec heating oil, rather than the 28 sec kerosene. Odd ones amongst the parishioners used to say that it was so I could run the car on the stuff. I hesitated to point out that it was because they were too mean to put in a more modern and efficient boiler. Anyway, the excise men used to put dye in the 35 sec stuff and would have sneaky checkpoints on back roads in Co Down where they would dip vehicle tanks.

I can handle myself I think! Although I'm spoken for :| Grannymar my whistlestop tour lasts another two days. I was in Belfast last night, working Newry at the moment, Downpatrick tomorrow then back to Newry tomorrow night and then back to Belfast and flying back to Cork Friday night. I should make it back to my home town before closing time on Friday night ;) Grandad - Grannymar is alright. I can handle myself I think! Although I’m spoken for :|

I'll find out then if it was a Bombardier. Nancy - For some very strange reason, three of them went on fire in this area. I <em>swear</em> I had nothing to do with it. Grannymar - Fortunately, I don't use Eircom. That's why my Internet connection is so good. And leave Robert alone. You and your appetite for toy boys!!!!

Robert why did you not call in for a cuppa while on the whistlestop trip to the north. Maybe the diesel fuel that poured intothe Eircom manhole will add a spark to your internet connection!
