Seems a good idea till you try it. I once carpool'ed with a woman who
started playing cassettes of Xmas music in mid November, and spent half
the trip putting on her make-up, whether she was driving or not :-(
Van-pooling was good though - and gave a perfect excuse to leave at 5 on
the dot.

You should have car pooled with The Reid!

A 4-person car pool is probably the best, in terms of controlling
behaviour!

He's not fat, he's just BIG! I saw a photo of me the other day with a
few Italians, and my shoulders are about 50% wider than theirs, and
I'm taller than any of them.
At least in the bog I'm about average.

What's legal may differ from country to country but generally I think
they've no such rights. By mistake I had a pair of miniscissors left
in my luggage when Ryan advised me take the bag as handluggage. The
security in LÌbeck found it and told me it was forbidden in handluggage and
I could check in the bag.
O.k "throw it away" i said. "No,you must do it" was the answer so I had
to throw it in a bin personally.
When stricter rules applied after 9/11 we faced some problems at our
mailterminal as a lot of passengers from Stockholm-Arlanda airport choose to
send back refused items in envelopes back to themselves.

What's legal may differ from country to country but generally I think
they've no such rights. By mistake I had a pair of miniscissors left
in my luggage when Ryan advised me take the bag as handluggage. The
security in LÌbeck found it and told me it was forbidden in handluggage and
I could check in the bag.
O.k "throw it away" i said. "No,you must do it" was the answer so I had
to throw it in a bin personally.
When stricter rules applied after 9/11 we faced some problems at our
mailterminal as a lot of passengers from Stockholm-Arlanda airport choose to
send back refused items in envelopes back to themselves.

How about a surcharge for whinging wankers who are also complete
tightarses? Oh yeah, so you want more leg room? Pay for it, then.
Oh, you mean you want it as a right?
If (fat/big bastard) I can deal with cattle class, why can't everyone
else?

I have often thought it amusing that flextime which is intended to
reduce traffic tends to promote individual drivers.
