Aye, but only onto sidelights.

Nah, it's something to do with pulling and holding the high-beam lever whilst you've got your side lights on,

I did it in my V40.

[Reina]

Really? Never heard of that. Ah well. I don't mind the lights being on, to be honest...

Doesn't having the handbreak on reduce the likelyhood of a mass shunt.

Surely the footbrake is far more powerful than the handbrake. I hardly ever need to use the handbrake when I'm driving, unless I'm stuck in traffic jam going up a steep hill.

The handbrake only brakes 2 wheels and the footbrake brakes 4 wheels - you can drive with the handbrake on (of course, not on purpose would one do that), so it stands to reason that the handbrake is not as strong as the foot brake - it's just a little helper.

I would say most 4x4 drivers are total w**kers.

I have a drama teacher whose reggy plate is:

The only thing that ruins it is that it is on a Nissan Micra.

Aye, but your foot can very easily slip off the pedal if you're shunted!

Sloppy, lazy driving, CP!


I had a Citroen C4 Picasso on loan while my car was being serviced and it has an electric handbrake which comes on automatically hen the engine is switched off. I asked what the procedure was at traffic lights and was told to keep my foot on the brake!

There must be a manual switch or something, because that's just wrong!

Doesn't work for the V70 though - it's software controlled and has to be done by the dealer.

There's a joke about Stirling Albion somewhere up there.

I saw a porsche parked on St Georges Road with the number plate PI5 AFF a few months back which made me chuckle. Also saw a Range Rover on Byers Road with MI00 AAW.

Chloroform death during sex act

A delivery driver died from inhaling chloroform through a Soviet bio-war mask, an inquest at Newport has heard.

Christopher Harris, 47, from Newport, practised a dominant and submissive sex relationship which involved pain.

He was found alone in his bed, "stiff and ice-cold" and still wearing the mask, by his friend Debra Keylock.

The coroner said Mr Harris enjoyed what many considered, deviant sexual practices. Verdict: Misadventure.

The inquest heard, the father-of-three, Mr Harris, practised "breath play", which involved breath deprivation and the restriction of air with Ms Keylock, who he met with on a regular basis.

But giving evidence to the inquest, Ms Keylock said Mr Harris sometimes practised this alone, against her wishes.

He also discussed buying chloroform which she did not like, the inquest heard.

Face mask

When she found him dead in October 2007, he was wearing the mask which was attached by tubes to a breathing bottle and a breather bag.

Ms Keylock said Mr Harris's fetish was to take pain and he would take breath play "not quite to the last breath".

The hoods and masks they used had an emergency release mechanism on them which meant it would only take half a second to release them, the inquest heard.

Det Con Carl Smith told the inquest that a number of items had been seized and the scene of Mr Harris's death examined but there was no evidence of any third-party involvement or foul play.

In a statement read to the hearing, pathologist Dr Andrew Davison said Mr Harris had died as a result of the inhalation of chloroform through a face mask.

There was no evidence of any external injury, he said.

Coronor David Bowen said: "I am satisfied there was no third-party involvement. He had threatened to experiment with chloroform in the past and I am satisfied he died when the experiment went tragically wrong."
