Skinny, why don't they do coloured brake fluid? There that's made his day.

Really, I work on Land Rovers, so it really isn't boring, just reptative (yes ma'am, they all leak like that)
Purple brake fluid, Red ATF, golden Brown/black oil, blue gasoline (petrol) Green Diesel, clear Kerosene (parafin), Dark guiness, honey colored or nut brown ale, and red wine.

No wonder universities have to charge top up fees- upgrading peoples monitors!

Is there any actual need I wonder?

I work in I.T.

By the end of tomorrow I will have spent 2 weeks making print queues!

If it wasn't for having the Radio4 play of The Lord Of The Rings and The Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy on tape I'd have gone mad with boredom.

If I finish the rest of them by tomorrow I firmly to spend a lot of time next week off sick! Probably with an illness that can only be cured by spending a lot of time in the garage!

Cheers,

James

So, erm......., what is it?

wow, you must be even more bord than me! it's a fully synthetic diff oil that can be used in the latest range rover but is specifically not to be used in any other range rover / land rover.
