you're right there Danf - I've met many chinless wonders in my time.

but then one thing we Limies DO do rather well, is in the 'Lovable Buffoon' category - i mean, take Boris Johnson =))

in fact don't take him - we need him! :p

A very subtle reference to the Scottish Flag there SM, but surely if Coulthard was the Pilot, the view ahead would have been severely restricted by his enormous Lower Mandible!! :))
