Re: Sunday after Christmas Open Thread (none / 1)

I bought a tank full of petrol today. Does that count as a significant economic contribution, do you think?

Well if its a significant economic contribution, then its a significant environmental crime. ;)

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

One measly tank of ... petrol? (That's gas, right? :-)

Nope. Sorry. Doesn't hack it on the face of it.

Now if you're going to use that fuel to motor needlessly to the Outer Hebrides to grab a pack of cigarettes THAT would count!
