    I stop about every 3 hours. For a pee or a coffee or both.
    Like you, the pee becomes too hard to hold, the organs begin to weaken. “If it’s not dried up it leaks”

    Also, at my stops, I get 50 feet of bog roll and clear the M/w grunge off the headlights/rear lights and the parts of the windscreen the wipers don’t get. I don’t see anybody else doing that.

    Glitch, and Take-off are not great bosom buddies.

    Well that sheds no light on it.

    The more you watch it the more it becomes unbelievable that he (or she?) didn’t see it. As it overtakes the car with Camera, freeze frame it. The driver is small but the POV from his head to the car is not so oblique that he couldn’t see. Also, the cars nose protrudes the RH side of his cab. If he looked in his RH mirror he would surely see it. I know that HGV training makes you look in each mirror every 5 seconds or more (At least that’s what I was taught – I never went on to take the test).
    But clearly it did happen, I doubt if it was a road rage gone wild so we all await the Driver’s comments.

    Shame it isn’t in Italy, where the delights of the female form adorning the place could be on full show. And Italians like to be on full show ;).

    You cannot imagine how Green with envy I am at you knowing MB.
    He is the one person I wish I could have met.
    (On topic, I don’t recall a TSR3 either).
    Apart from the comic genious, he (As you know) was one of our Wartime heroes particulary in helping POW’s exit back to UK and the liberation of Belson and the clandestine operations he was involved in before that. He sort of founded the Counter terror branch in the SAS. Also a marksman with a pistol (This takes some doing, believe me!).
    A true British hero, with a life so fascinating and interesting I’m surprised we’ve never had a tribute to him.
    When Ken Dodd stole the image of “Diddy men” from MB Potty Time, MB asked for credit, not money nor any other reward. Doddy claimed it was all his own work, shame.

    That’s a hijack of an answer to my statement. Far too may people trot out the comment that the NHS is free, it isn’t.
    And far too much of our “Civilised behaviour” is squandered on those which have not contributed to it, nor in any simila scheme in their own country.
    Those on low or no pay should of course receive the same treatment as we that do pay, that’s our duty to improve the system as a whole. Pity it’s actually a hole instead.

    I’ve no time for Obama, and the US pop. is possibly now regretting the novelty vote.

    Don’t forget, we in the UK do not have free NHS. Last time I looked I was paying nearly 9% of my hard-earned in that payment on my payslip. That would buy me a fantastic BUPA deal!
