Luke I Amyofath

Kept thinking that your username had a familiar ring.

Now I get it -you're a Stars Wars fan!

P.S I know a guy who named his son Luke, just so he could say that line!

This is a nice simple one, which I know is correct as Mr Pookin's wages match up exactly!

Of course it does, it eliminates about 25-30% of the average person's calories for the day. Just calorie counting again!

Unless you have a wheat allergy, this is another fad diet.

Re: Do double demerits make you think about the way you drive?

I'm still a P plater so I'm used to sticking to the speed limits. In the UK I could lose my licence after 2 speeding tickets.:scared:

I assume I still have 6 points in Perth? Anyone know?
