    Was up in my sisters house in finglas for the evening, left the car on the street outside their house, and came back to a window smashed in. Fun times!

    I know man. But with the poor application of commom sense at work you would hope you could apply plenty at home. Must get it sorted. That broadband camera would be handy for the likes of us.
