You could include "Chance In A Million" with an EXTREMELY eccentric Tom Chance, a man who downs his pints in one go and gets through a hamster a week.
Wonderfully well written with some of the comedy built around the ad-break.
Simon Callow and Brenda Blethyn in top form.

Who says that Stan actually said these things?
He could have been quoted out of context or had his words "massaged" by the editorial staff to make them more sensational under the guise of making his quote/s fit the page or more coherent or Sun-reader level.
Reporters do have to paraphrase peoples comments, or the newspapers would be half filled with such facinating copy as: "I said, er, um, well, actually he said to me, um, I can't remember exactly, er, but anyway, you know, er".

Hehe
I knew that would get a response!
Just for the record, today, whilst I was carefully driving past the oblivious workmen through a 10mph posted industrial site, I had a BMW shoot past me at at least 40. Mind you, it would have been difficult for the driver to go slower as the tailgating Merc would have just shoved him along

People who make broad, sweeping generalizations.
People who use random spellings (FAR more annoying than people who consistently misspell a particular word).
People who insist on using text-message/online chat style abbreviations on a forum post, such as "U" for "you".
People who fail to indicate at roundabouts, specifically the people who can't be bothered to indicate they are coming off at the next exit. Much more confusing in Northampton as the people who have set up the roadmarkings on roundabouts don't appear to have heard of the highway code.
People who believe that speed limits and behaving in a courteous manner to other road users is not applicable to them as they are driving a German car.
News articles, in print and on TV, which are patently written to stir up trouble or publicize a specific agenda.
People who cannot comprehend the simplest safety concepts and consequently force companies to spend vast amounts of money and effort to put up warning notices and barriers to prevent the aforementioned people from doing something blatantly stupid.
et cetera. Careful, I may start typing again in a minute

I'm not familiar with South Wales, except Newport, most of my travelling being no further south than Aberystwyth or Devils Bridge. Any good craggy bits to clamber up and down, or is it mostly rolling hills/flat?
Wales is always a good place to visit, I have had some peculiar adventures and seen some odd sights there.

Hmmm, intriguing. What is important to a three or four year old that an adult would still wish for?
Food for thought.
Your place sounds nice, Artificer. The only birds you see around here are crows and flying rats, with gashhawks in the winter.
I remember being outside away from the town one winters night many years ago during a meteor shower. It was an amazing spectacle. I can count the shooting stars I have seen since on one hand. The penalty of living in a town.

Volcanos, mountains, glaciated valleys, unspoiled wilderness, tribes = New Zealand.
Drop the volcanos requirement and you have North Wales again.
Ahh, scrambling up Y Tryfan and looking down on the minute silver dot that is my car, parked 3,000 ft away. The next day scrambling up Snowdon and then walking back down via the old miner's path. I was told later it was around 12 miles and I think my feet knew it... :sad:

I hate people who think that the anonymity of the internet allows them to offend others with impunity.
I hope you have a way of banning their IP as well as their username, Mark.
The Tosserometer (TM) sounds like an excellent idea. All we have to do now is think of a way of making it practical.
