What do you always forget to pack?
(Preview)
I'm off on a fortnight's holiday to the French Alps this Sunday. Despite the most meticulous planning there always seems to be something that gets forgotten. So please help me avoid leaving something behind and tell me - what do you always forget to pack?

He seems to have the same tolerance of malfunctioning equipment as you. Only he also has a shotgun.

Forum Statistics Box
(Preview)
So today I re-checked the 'Forum Statistics' box. That means that there's a 'new' box at the bottom of the forum that shows who's online and stuff. It's a nice little feature that I originally switched off ages and ages ago cos it made the main page take ages and ages to load.
It seems to be a bit better...

The fatties are putting ME at risk!
(Preview)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7524944.stm It must be true - some scientists said so! If I'm influenced to be fat (which I'm not BTW, I'm great) by tubbies around me, that just supports the case for me to have one of those special shotguns. Its self defence!

I've been struggling to find just the right bronze statue for my garden. It had to be about 4 feet tall. And elegant, yet rapey. Luckily I found this:
