Education is always better than control in my opinion - and that doesn't just apply to the internet. I don't claim any great wisdom but I do have three kids and work in IT so I have some experience.

Me thinks I'm having the urine extracted :D

.....oh I would never say that! (and I was just being a tad provoctive) :D

If you really think you are a good driver (or would like to improve your driving) you should think about http://www.iam.org.uk You can have an observed drive for an introductory £25 or get instruction and the full test for £99. You know that expression about putting your money where your mouth...

Sorry SilverSaloon but you are just wrong and on this small point your driving is poor. Furthermore, the attitude you display to people who keep their driving up to date and do what they are supposed to do is disappointing especially when you continue to push your viewpoint despite being given a...

"We're sorry, this video is no longer available" :(

MB in Newcastle let me have an E-Class for the day and arranged insurance cover.

My point was that I didn't feel that a poster needed to apologise for making a mild joke in a mostly serious thread (this is an MB site after all). Just because we are effected by something in life (and yes I've got a "I've been effected by alcoholism" badge too) doesn't mean that we shouldn't...

However serious the subject there is always a place for humour as far as I am concerned. The more serious the subject the blacker I like it. It doesn't mean that you can't have a serious exchange at the same time. If you knew the jokes doctors made about patients you would probably be...

SBC Hold was not removed from facelift 211s, my 2008 W211 has it. (I think it was SBC Stop that was removed). I think SBC Hold is an excellent feature; as well as negating the need to use park (and that irritating little lurch backwards or forwards if you are on an incline), it cures the...

Do we have to put up with this racist crap?
