    I suppose my best was a FastTrax, that little dude was quick but I broke it in record time :(

    This must be one of the best, it was organised for a Danish bus driver by the bus company he worked for whose HR department must be working overtime

    Mute the sound on this one, and synch it with the first at 25 secs...



    But then again, I'm locked so everything is weirdly funny :D

    Soppy i know, but my dog who was 14 died in January this year. Two of my best mates got me a beautiful portrait of her painted for my birthday a few months before she died.

    I loooooove it to bits and still well up with the effort they went to to do that :o

    NES on my fifth birthday. Still remember the day, twenty years later. Don't remember much else from back then, so it was definitely special :)

    A trip to Florida. Parents broke their backs saving to get me there after a young obsession with wanting to visit America.
