    COLD?

    Well i bloody well was when i left home to go to work and it was a nice -5 degrees C outside.

    Wut makes it worse is the car froze over and the hose was frozen so no water comin outa it to wash all the ice off my windscreen, Bugger.

    Lucky for me the car had lots of unfrozen windscreen wiper fluid, Hoorah.

    Run an extension lead out to your driveway and plug in a hairdryer. Sorted.

    Well that was a very sad story.

    Reminds me of the time I was working in Twin Falls, Idaho, and it was the middle of winter. Came out to the rental PieceOShit(tm) - sorry - the wonderful Buick Century they kindly provided for us, and the windscreen was covered in ice. In the middle of the day. Anyway, being a resourceful bloke, I remembered that a credit card makes a good de-icing tool. And being clever, I used my library card instead, in case damage to the card occurred. Which it did, because Murkn ice is hard.

    Mission (successfully) accomplished, I returned to the passenger seat, put on my seat belt, and gazed in wonder at the special de-icing scraper thingo thoughtfully provided and hanging on the sun visor, which had been rendered mysteriously invisible during the 3 previous days of car use.....
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    The garden tap was the frozen one, it worked out since i started my car 5mins b4 leaving. I think i need a remote starter so i can start it from inside.

    HA Ha hA!
    So take the bike, then you don't have to wait for the windscreen to warm up or shiver as you wait for the heater to stop blowing cold air.
