Yes, but how many times have you actually spelled exaggerate correctly?

=)) =)) =)) I'm just more concerned on why my friend felt that was a good book for me :-?

Theres been a rather large pile-up on the A421 and a HUGE helicopter landed on the road a while ago, possibly a Sea King?? Dunno if anyone would know?

I didn't see it as it was 6 miles from here :(( I just got told by a friend who was stuck in the tailback that there was a pile up and "a massive helicopter with lots of lights on it landed on the main road", he said it was yellow and black/or blue. I'm sure it'll be in the newspaper Thursday so will find out what it was then :)

That's only £24,474,952.04p. Good value but I wonder if it takes long. :p
