Golf bats....

Why????
Good a place as anywhere.  Seeing as I have a bigger boot ;)

Golf!!!!

I didn't think you were old enough :D
As you know, working with 'puters does tend to mean little exercise.

Seeing as gyms are mind numbingly boring, I would rather be out in the fresh air, enjoying the company of friends, taking gentle exercise in a (usually) country setting...

I am wary of push bikes around my way, roads not really safe enough imho.  Golf is cheap enough - no longer the toffee nosed public schoolboy thing.  Under a tenner a round in Milton Keynes, pay and play.

Whilst I wouldn't go so far to call it a hobby like it is to some, we can always make time for what we enjoy - be it an evening out with mates, or videoing trains...  ;)

Two warning triangles. Gloves, Loppers, Chain saw, petrol, chain oil, spare sharpened chain, big bottle of cold water. It is 34 Deg C and it is olive tree pruning time. The warning triangles are always there as they are required by law along with reflective jackets for anyone who gets out of their car at the side of the road.

No the only torture is the heat. 34 Deg C today. Now I know why the Spanish have a siesta. Start work early and then work again in the evening. One thing they are not is lazy!

A small cardboard box.
No idea what it contains (well, I know there's a picnic rug there somewhere) and some other 'stuff'.

Tucked away there are a few other bits and pieces *but nothing blocking my vents*, a first aid kit(!), some fuses (from owning another car) - no triangle! (thieving b..ds).

But generally my boot is a 'clear zone', ready and waiting as it were.


But how would I really know what's in my car boot - I don't even know where the car is half the time.

A Toilet

Is this standard fit with the Elite or some special trim option for long distance reps?
