That's kids for you, Chris.
You have to find out what they are up to from their friends, the bairmaid at 
the local pub or the Who's in Court pages of the local paper.

Hmm.. ok, well I thought she said that. I personally have no idea what

I read that too.

She told me she wasn't coming this year too when I spoke to her on FB
a few days ago. (Holly that is, not your daughter Woody!)

Greg has clearly evolved from being a marvelous bass player into being
a man who can communicate with machines by speaking fluent TCP/IP,
Binary and Browser languages.......

I am in awe of this mans talents.

And if it wasn't for the fact that Greg keeps his nails well trimmed, you'd be 
in awe of his talons, too! :)

I tend not to communicate with machines, although I have been known to utter the 
occasional expletive at the inanimate object cowering underneath my desk, one at 
home and one at work.

I too have a daughter, last night I got a phone call from her:
"Are you at home, Dad?"[1]
'Yes I am.'
"Well could you come to the front door please?"
'Why didn't you just ring the bell?'
"Oh yeah." <ding dong>

He's got a daughter called Woody?

That must be confusing at family dinners... "pass the gravy Woody".
"Oh, is the gravy called Woody as well, Dad?"

Clearly you haven't met my daughter, Dave. I'd already had a phone call from her 
earlier in the day while I was at work:

"Dad, the car's making a funny noise and the oil light is on."
'Check the oil level, do you know where the dipstick is?'
"Ah yeah, there's nothing showing."
'Well don't drive it any further, put some oil in.'
"Where does it go?"
'There's a black cap on top of the engine, it may have an oil can on it or it 
may say OIL.'
"Oh yeah, thanks Dad."

After she got to my place later that evening I checked the oil level for her, 
there was nothing showing on the dipstick. I asked how much she'd put in, she 
told me a litre. I explained that it takes more than a litre to fill the sump. 
Fortunately I had a four litre container of 20W/40 most of which disappeared 
into the bowels of the engine. She pointed to another black cap and asked what 
that one was for. I told her that's where the brake fluid goes, not the engine 
oil.

I have told her before to regularly check the oil. To my daughter, a regular oil 
check means once a year, and that's when Dad does it for her or when the car's 
serviced.

A couple of year's ago she wrote off our little Mazda 323 in a careless accident 
and I can see she's doing her utmost to wreck the little Holden Barina that 
replaced it.

My daughter isn't stupid, far from it and she's a pleasure to have around. She's 
kind and generous, but sometimes I really have to wonder what's going on inside 
her head.

There's a level of empathy for mechanical things that some people just
don't have. A guy who worked for me some years back was an example - parts
of equipment that, when they became loose, you would routinely tighten as
you worked, in his hands would fall off and be lost. Bits of trim would
come off the car and just be stored in the boot, wheel valve caps would all
be missing, the telephone cord would be in a gigantic knot, & so on.
You may be able to tell that even thinking about it still bugs me. ;-)

Hmm...that's got me thinking: when was the last time I checked mine? I'll 
probably get round to it some time before Buxton.

Maybe...

Or Facebook. But as I don't do facebook, and her profile is set to
private, I can't.

This story sounds familiar. Except in Holly's case, the car had by this
point ceased to move under its own power.

We got round to stripping said engine last week. I've never seen big end
shells that shape, and the crank, as a result, is scrap.

Needless to say Holly has at least checked her oil regularly since.

My first car (Morris Minor) used to burn four pints of oil in 30 miles. I 
eventually re-ringed it but it never pulled quite as well. It stopped 
burning oil though.

We used to have a mantra at our house: "Don't turn you back on the toast, don't 
turn your back on the toast" because as soon as you did, the toast would burst 
into flames under the grill. Now the mantra is: "Have you checked the oil and 
water, have you checked the oil and water".
