And while you're there Eggbasket, what is the following referring to?

"A great victory for rangers and hamsters everywhere. Right, Boo?" - Minsc

[eggbasket]

Koenigsegg CCX, the only supercar that has the distinction of having been crashed by the Stig on Top Gear:

Sparky - The quotation comes from Baldur's Gate or Baldur's Gate 2 where Minsc is a ranger who carries a giant space hamster around in his pocket. Other classic quotations include:

There is no hope of ever separating Minsc and Boo. Boo is small and evasive, and there is ever so much of Minsc to search!

Minsc will lead with blade and boot! Boo will take care of the details.

Despair not! I shall inspire you by charging blindly on!

Squeeky wheel gets the kick!

Terrible hamster justice shall be wreaked upon you!

Jump on my sword while you can evil, I won't be as gentle!

Boo must have his exercise, lest he bite us all in hard-to-reach places.

When the going gets tough, someone hold my rodent.

This behaviour will not be tolerated. Feel the burning stare of my HAMSTER and change your ways!

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day, but teach a man to fight and he can chow down on the meaty marrow of evil!

We must inspire fear in evil! Quiet tales of hamsters are foolish, but a man and his hamster that tear evil limb from limb? That's scary!

My bathroom, kitchen floor and,oh yes, plaster on all of the walls please.

Failing that, two cases of Pol Roger, Cuvee Sir Winston churchill, 1995. I can sit on one in lieu of fixtures, fittings and furniture, and drown my sorrows with the other.

WSIs do not concern me, Curator. I want that site, not excuses

Thanks Eggbasket. I am now indeed fulfilled.

Kevin, you can always argue that you can't get that Ale in OZ so need to stock up before you go. Where in OZ you off to?

I have a feeling Digger that you can't be married, or you would realise that a perfectly logical arguement such as you propose is going to get precisely nowhere (fast).

We are going to Surfers Paradise (just south of Brisbane) which the way the cricket is going, appears to be a bit like Neville Chamberlain suggesting to his wife a weekend break in Dunkirk!!

How about BAJR starting a 'Sock Store' where anyone who gets too many pairs for Christmas can donate them to re re-distributed amongst 'needy' diggers?

For winter to be cancelled
