heart defect
Chin up fella, she sounds like a fighter !:) Keep her spirits up. She is in the best place, and if you were in the States, the bills would be spiralling all the time ! When she does get out and recovers, make the most of your time together. Wish I had did things a little different ! Wee break up in Scotland would cheer her up ?;) Alan...........

Aussie pm john howard
Disregard the last post, its us, not the US ! :smw: Sorry bud, must pay more attention before I stab the keys ! We have several Polish workers at our place, and in all honesty, they are damn good workers ! In fact, one of them has resprayed my last Corvette, front bumper on my Zed and my Camaro I have at present !! As an afterthought, our new next door neighbour, 23 yr old single mum of 3, with another on the way, is turning out to be a proper pain in the arse ! A lot depends on how you are brung up, or dragged up I suppose ? Alan.........

James Dean's Porsche...did you know this?
I didn't know all of this about the Porsche he was driving when he died. Really weird. Since Dean's death, his Porsche 550 Spyder became infamous for being the vehicle that killed not only him, but for injuring and killing several others in the years following his death. In view of this, many have come to believe that the actor's vehicle and all of its parts were cursed. Legendary Hot Rodder George Barris bought the wreck for $2,500, only to have it slip off its trailer and break a mechanic's leg. Soon afterwards, Barris sold the engine and drive-train, respectively, to physicians Troy McHenry and William Eschrid. While racing against each other, the former would be killed instantly when his vehicle spun out of control and crashed into a tree, while the latter would be seriously injured when his vehicle rolled over while going into a curve. Barris later sold two tires, which malfunctioned as well. The tires, which were unharmed in Dean's accident, blew up simultaneously causing the buyer's automobile to go off the road. Subsequently, two young would-be thieves were injured while attempting to steal parts from the car. When one tried to steal the steering wheel from the Porsche, his arm was ripped open on a piece of jagged metal. Later, another man was injured while trying to steal the bloodstained front seat. This would be the final straw for Barris, who decided to store "Little b*****d" away, but was quickly persuaded by the California Highway Patrol (CHP) to loan the wrecked car to a highway safety exhibit. The first exhibit from the CHP featuring the car ended unsuccessfully, as the garage storing the Spyder went up in flames, destroying everything except the car itself, which suffered almost no damage whatsoever from the fire. The second display, at a Sacramento High School, ended when the car fell, breaking a student's hip. "Little b*****d" caused problems while being transported several times. On the way to Salinas, the truck containing the vehicle lost control, causing the driver to fall out, only to be crushed by the Porsche after it fell off the back. On two separate occasions, once on a freeway and again in Oregon, the car came off other trucks, although no injuries were reported, another vehicle's windshield was shattered in Oregon. Its last use in a CHP exhibit was in 1959. In 1960, when being returned to George Barris in Los Angeles, California, the car mysteriously vanished. It has not been seen since p.s. As an afterthought, This makes it even creepier: "The car was given the nickname "Little b*****d" by Bill Hickman, his language coach on Giant. When Dean introduced himself to Alec Guinness outside a restaurant, he asked him to take a look at the Spyder. Guinness thought the car appeared "sinister" and told Dean: "If you get in that car, you will be found dead in it by this time next week." This encounter took place on September 23, 1955. The accident and his death happened on September 30, 1955....... Alan............

Scariest film ever.
7 brides for 7 brothers !! Imagine the amount of Xmas presies you would need to buy ! :D Jaws still makes me wary of swimming in the sea, Exorcist is dated, but stil creepy, Most Zombie films are entertainment, Blair Witch was ok, but nothing special, The original Jap version of The Ring was the best, The Thing was great at the time, It, has made me cringe from clowns all my life, But as far back as I can remember, I was always scared by Occult type stuff, Omen, The Devil Within Her, etc. Alan...........
