kate ive been playin this game all day tday since a mate of mine sent me it via facebook yday lol! Its sooo funny....

Here's one i found in one of those classic and i mean classic hospital day room books :-) :-) :-)

'many operations were cancelled or postponed because of a dicker's instinct, honed on a thousand street corners, that 'something wasn't quite right.''

I read further tho as i had to find out wot a dicker was and in this book it is someone who regularly undertakes a drivin job!
