I apologise.

Stalkers can be irritating, but fun.

I`ve never fixed a car by the way, I pay people to get there hands that dirty.

All mechanics seem wear rubber surgical gloves these days..............

Sissy's Don't know they're born

Not like in my day, swarfega wth added sawdust and a soak in bleach, followed by the scrubbing brush was the usual method of getting the hands something like clean

My car back in the UK had a recall on its battery. I saw them 'approach the car' wearing special headgear, white gown, giant gauntlets and others in the bay standing well back. It looked like they were working for bomb disposal...

Nice to think the battery was deemed that dangerous. Only been driving the car with it for about two years...

Lady gets out, lots of arm waving, van driver laughs (mistake), lady makes a phone call.

Moments later local police man arrives with stern look on face. Lady retrieves baby from car and points it at everyone to ensure the law is on her side. After five minutes backup arrives in the form of another local plod. They circle the van taking notes. Its clearly serious because moments later another local plod arrives, swiftly followed by another. There are now 4 looking at the van. They all get introduced to the baby. Van driver looks worried. Crowd forming, traffic stopping, waiters dissapear .... I want my bill!!!

I go to the supermarket and 15 minutes later its still going on.
Photographs being taken, baby being waved etc etc

Such is the crime wave in Oliva ....... as I walk away a police car approaches ... maybe they'll lock him up forever
Did you pay your bill - or are you now on Olivia's most wanted

If you want anything doing in Spain just wave your baby in the air. You can step onto pedestrian crossings with no fear of a car not stopping, magically appear at the front of the supermarket queue and all will smile at you ...... did anyone see that TV prog about the women who were buying very lifelike dolls costing thousands because they couldn't be @rsed to have a real baby. They were walking them out in prams, treating them just like a real baby. They weren't so mad you know ... they had a plan!!!

I think I'll get one, keep it in a rucksack and shamelessly wave it around in the air whenever the need arises.
