the job was 25 hours plus and it was the easiest ride of my life. I WISH it would have lasted for weeks. Most of the time was sat waiting for the chemical to bite in. It was a lovely touch as it paid for the insurance on my new van.

One good thing about people who smoke, they're prepared to pay extra.
