He knew all the locks and security systems had a fail-safe. If the car was in a crash, all the locks would unlock/disable themselves to make it easier for the emergency services to rescue the driver/passengers. One hefty kick to the front bumper, et voila!

I've tried to set car airbags off with a kick before, but never had any luck. Roberto Carlos and Chris Hoy could hammer away at both ends for an hour without any success, but I like the Arthur/Alexander vibe of your story.

The thing about the couch gags is that they started off as just little throwaway jokes, that could be stretched out a little if they needed to fill the run time. Then they became their own thing, they got people like Banksy in to make them and they started getting overly bloated. Overworked couch gags are the hallmark of the later, poorer episodes.

Never heard that before. Thank you very much, Bubba; as I'm sure Elvis must have said at some time in his life.

We've all got our own; they were attached to the cover of this week's progs. If you phone Denise she'll sort you out.

All too often we celebrate the good things that happen...tonight I'd encourage you all to celebrate a bad thing that didn't happen...or won't. In a few days an asteroid the size of an ocean-liner is going to pass this wee world, and damned close. If it were to hit us there would likely be no tomorrow. So here's to ye! You made it...or most likely will.

There were some bad guys, and it looked like the bad guys had won, but then it turned out they hadn't. Have you ever seen the episode of Friends where a burglar tricks Joey into locking himself inside a cupboard so he can rob the apartment?
