    Haha, I'm not getting one - My girlfriend's brother drives one, and was trying to see what a 1.4 Golf III would do by comparison - our Clio is on the way out, and needs replacing soon, and the Golf might be one sale fairly cheaply (£200) - just might be getting it as a stopgap for a few months...

    Get the Golf and avoid those awful Corsa's at all costs.

    A MkIII Golf, and you had any doubts whatsoever?
    Loved mine to pieces (literally, when a daft french bint got me to drive through the front of her peugeot 406) and if I needed to get rid of the Volvo, would get another in a heartbeat.

    The Mk.3 was the worst of the Golfs, but it simply cannot be worse than those awful Mk.1 Corsa's, they were properly bilge.

    A motors-question again! Why does the Gallardo Superleggera (and some other high-performance cars) have what *appears* (although I assume isn't) to have a 2nd caliper on their brakes?

    Seperate Handbrake caliper - a lot of kit cars do this as well.

    Here's my question:

    How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? :)

    There are two possible ways of approaching this question, and therefore two answers, which I shall explain.

    Of course, there is the obvious 'a woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood,' but this answer leaves me dissatisfied, so I shall hypothesise a more scientific answer, which goes as follows, according to a certain Cecil Adams,

    Many thanks to Cecil for helping to solve this age-old dilemma.

    And here's a question for the kind people of bit-tech. What is the best way to cook a black pudding?

    Deep fried in batter!!!!! Its the ONLY way to cook a decent black pudding. Unless you are talking about the little slices you get in a breakfast pack, they things you can just shallow fry.

    Ugh! NO BATTER!

    Gently fried - crunchy on the outside of the slice, soft in the middle. YUM

    It is a proper black pudding. None of those pansy slices.

    Just to let you know, the black pudding was delicious. I gently shallow fried it. Om nom nom. Still not as good as the Bury Black Pudding I had a couple of months ago, though.
