We got pulled over once after cruising the neighbourhood Christmas lights by some sourpuss who just had the shits having to work evening shift. Couldn't pin a thing on us but did everything from checking the car for defects to breathalysing. I'm sure someone was breaking and entering while he was safely harassing a car full of women in their flashing Santa earings and silly hats!Bainohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156193098088048637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242994126386706.post-21887712522532532742009-02-20T08:39:00.000+00:002009-02-20T08:39:00.000+00:00Grannymar - Oh yes, there's nothing so cathartic a...Grannymar - Oh yes, there's nothing so cathartic as a good rant occasionally!<BR/><BR/>Magpie - Very sensible, as a non-driver you're spared all these little grievances!
