If anyone's "stocking up" for tonight's rubgy/footy Tesco's are doing 54 bottles of Stella for £20. That works out to just 37p/bottle and they are the 300ml ones not the stubbies. Better hurry though I think the promotion finishes at 3pm. I got mine from the place at East Ardsley.

P.S. I also have driven 7.5 tonners despite no experience because it came with my car license in '84

All set to change in the coming years!

It is a crazy ruling at present, but come the year 2014, if you haven't gone through the proper courses and had the correct training you won't be able to drive one. I attended the first part of my course at the back end of last year and am doing it spread over 5 years, it wasn't half bloody boring!

I got told to drive one at work, i did suggest i had not driven one before and maybe not a good idea, but they insisted i could because my licence covered it.

Its crazy and i'm glad they are changing the way it works.

Why? Don't think it's particularly difficult to drive a 7.5 tonner. In fact the driving position makes it pretty much a piece of piiss imo

Yep, the breeder puts the kittens in a pen when they have been naughty! (smashing ornaments this time) She'll be with the breeder for about 12 days until her injections then we get can pick her up!

We always wanted a cat like 'Mrs Norris' off Harry Potter but feared it was an unobtainable real Wildcat but it turns out 'Norris' is a pretty common Maine Coon, the largest domestic cat!

Nobody knows the origins of the Maine Coon but they've primarily evolved to live in Snow, large tuffs on the paws, neck and ears to avoid heat loss and a huge bushy tail that can wrap around the whole of the cats body to shield it from the elements. These cats have huge paws to stop them sinking in snow. Males can grow up to 4 foot in length but ours will probably be just over 2 foot.



I kid you not the breeder has a red cat this big too.
