meant to be at my mates at 3 am this morn to go to airport but overlaid and she rang me at 3.20 "where are uuuuu!!!" 
 
due to my battery problem   had to bump me car off the street, go to petrol station and she lives 15 min steady drive away across town. 
 
there was absolutely nothin on the roads so i hurtled down the dual carraigeways at like 90   gets down a dip in the hill to come up the other side and thers a copper comin other way really slow starts flashin his blue lights on the top   i thought omg laura is gonna kill me il be here half hour atleast................. 
 
needless to say i slowed right down and he passed me, looked in mirror and he turned his lights off and carried on 
 
HOW LUCKY WAS THAT     
 
p.s stuck to limit after that

Why does it matter if it has a cat if you want to bump start it?

I cant remeber exactly why, but yes it is easy to kill your CAT by bump starting your car, i think too much unburnt fuel gets into it?

With all the mechnical problems with your car, you deserve a bit of luck my girl   From what you say it sounds like the battery. Once the battery can't hold more than 12V, nothing will work - a bit of an all or nothing job really!! 
 
Thanks for the comments about the car BTW - you'll get a spin soon enough I'm sure

if ur caught doing 30mph over a set limit its an instant ban i think, so therefore 100 wud b if caught anywhere... i reckon he knew u were speeding so tried 2 scare u in2 slowin down rather than stop u and make him hav 2 fill out forms etc   worked 2

Two men walk into a pet shop. Right away they go over to the bird section. 
Sonnyboy says to Umfan, "Dat is dem." 
The clerk comes over and asks if he can help them. 
"Yebo baas, we take four of dose beds (birds) in dat cage lapa side," says 
Umfan. 
"Put beds in a pepa bag pleez baas!!" 
The clerk does and the two guys pay for the birds and leave the shop. 
They get into Sonnyboy's van and drive until they are high up in the hill 
and stop at the top of a cliff with a 500-foot drop. "Dis looks like a grand 
place, eh?" says Sonnyboy. 
He then takes the birds out of the bag, places 2 on each of his shoulders 
and jumps off the cliff. 
Umfan watches as his comrade drops off the edge and goes straight own for a 
few seconds followed by a 'SPLAT'. As Umfan looks over the edge of the cliff 
he shakes his head and says, "Haibo, dis budgie jumpin' is too dangerous for 
me." 
A minute later, Philemon arrives. He too has been to the pet shop and he 
walks up carrying the familiar 'pepa bag'. He pulls a parrot out of the bag, 
and then Umfan notices that, in his other hand, Philemon is carrying a gun. 
"Heita, Umfan. Watch dis," Philemon says and launches himself over the edge 
of the cliff. Umfan watches as half way down, Philemon takes the gun and 
blows the parrot's head off. Philemon continues to plummet until there is a 
SPLAT, as he joins Sonnyboy's remains at the bottom.  Umfan shakes his head 
and says, "Eish baba me is never tryin' dat parrotshooting nider." 
A few minutes after Philemon splats himself Goodman strolls up. He too has 
been to the pet shop and he walks up carrying the familiar 'pepa bag'. 
Instead of a parrot he pulls a chicken out of the bag, and launches himself 
off the cliff with the usual result. 
Once more Umfan shakes his  head - "Hauw!! Goodman, first der was Sonnyboy 
wit his budgie-jumping, den Philemon parrotshooting and now you 
hen-gliding!"
