Yesterday one of my nurses told me that not only does she keep black horses but that said animals often get pressed into service 'down her way' to pull hearse carriages. Glass ones. Today I learn of the imminent release of this music which I have loved since the age of 10: http://www.moviegrooves.com/shop/draculaad1972soundtrack.htm So - does anyone fancy joining in a recreation of a midnight coach ride through Hyde Park c1872? Probably around the Cabot Tower in Bristol until we get stopped / arrested / signed to a TV deal? |

...until we get stopped / arrested / signed to a TV deal? Hey, I'm up for all three! (Though I think I fancy the arrest most.) Ever since I saw HAROLD & MAUDE as a little girl I've dreamt of owning a hearse. Ideally a vintage Daimler. But a horse-drawn glass carriage one? **swoon** "Master, I did it! I summoned you!" |

Oddly enough when I was recently trying to decide on a new car the nurses thought I should have a Daimler while my surgical colleague thought I should drive a hearse. But I think he meant it in a nice way |

An old Roller, like a Phantom V, to be sure. It's my favourite car. Not that I could afford one |

Thanks chaps! I actually picked it up today - a big black Audi with a Bose sound system so Philip Glass's Candyman themes could resonate throughout Bristol as I drove home with the windows down. |

Is it like Gene Hunt's Quattro? Are you an 'armed bastard' now? |

Bose? Nooooooo! The very antithesis of good sound! Ack! Spit, spit! Enjoy the new car, John! |
