Well the woman in front of me was......she parked her car too far away from the petrol pump and the hole was on the wrong side. She tried valiantly to pull the nozzle towards the tank but failed but while doing so she held onto the nozzle for dear life, squeezing it in her attemps and therefore spraying herself and the forecourt in petrol. She was in tears, the staff had to come out and remove the nozzle from her hands as she cried, the police arrived and she had to pay £5 in petrol.

I'm not sure what to call her?Huh?

Female driver?

Stupid, obv.

"challenged"?

Unfortunate?

A little unsure of herself?

Just passed driving test, first time refueling but doing her best?

Has just had terrible news and can't concentrate?

Has learning difficulties?

In need of help / sympathy?

Yes, yes, "challenged".

Want to see some photos I took this weekend of aeroplanes?

I teased this line on Saturday or Sunday, & nobody has bit yet. Or is that "bitten"?

Jeez, James, excellent. Mine will be better, obv. Is the 2nd photo Gibralter Airport?

Looking forward to sharing a Studio with you tonight. Leave the ego at home, there's not room for yours AND mine in the Show.

Should be fun, though.

You have already had some questions - "greatest poker achievement", etc.

Cue "I know WPT winner Dave Shallow" presumably.

It's currently lower than its taxi height, that's how crazy these Russians are

Surely the slightest shift in wind direction or air pressure or something would slam it into the ground before the pilot could react?

I was in an attic the other day watching some crows fly across the meadows. they were less than a foot from the ground. When they came to a hedge, they gained just enough hight to hop over before continuing in ultra low flight mode.

I've seen other birds do this too. They seem to glide for ridiculous distances with virtually no flapping. Perhaps 'Ground effect' explains it.

There are some very obvious reasons why a French or many other continental countries have weaker players.  Firstly these markets are far less "mature" than say the Canadian market and therefore a lot more people who are "new" to the game, in general the more experienced you are at a skill game the better you are going to be. Secondly the language barrier, if you want to study your game the vast majority of learning tools are in English.

How did she pay £5 in petrol?  She didn't have any, that's why she was at the petrol station.
