I was talking with a group of friends the other day and the subject of using solar panels to charge a car battery came up (as it does!). One person complained it took a long time. Someone suggested charging the battery overnight . . . |

I can be quite slow at times (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) |

My violin broke on Friday (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) (the 13th).
Well technically, I broke my violin on Friday 13th I was holding it oh so carefully and putting it down on the table and it leapt out of my hand and rolled over a few times and the bridge broke... Anyway it's fixed now =] Although my brother was 13 on Friday 13th (This is going back like 5 years now xD) and he was fine xD |

Many years ago (1995 I think)- when I was at work on a Friday 13th, my wife saw a Magpie tapping on the window at home....
When I was cycling back from work, a car in front of mar braked very hard and I went into the back of it- I woke up in the middle of the road unable to see because of all the blood in my eyes, the impact had broken my glasses and left a glasses shaped cut around my eyes- I needed about six stitches around my eyes. |

I'm not superstitious at all. Haven't got the time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Rob, I couldn't care whether a surgeon and anaesthetist were Dr Frankenstien and Dracula as long as they did a good job. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Bev. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Bev. There is a chess opening called the Frankenstein-Dracula variation (of the Vienna opening.) There are also the hippopotamus, the flying fox, the fried liver, the monkeys b-um (a variation of the modern defence) and a myriad of other wierd and wonderful names. |
