Forgive me if I am less active for a little while: tomorrow I start a new job and besides expecting work to interfere with a social life, 3 hours commuting (by car on the Manchester section of the M6 for those that know the area) each day won't leave a lot of time for posting. Rest assured I will still be looking in whenever I can!

Please look after the pies in my absence.

Good luck with the job - don't envy you the commute on that stretch of the motorway. May I suggest you lay in a supply of audiobooks, preferably unabridged, to while away the tedium.
Please don't ask me to look after the pies - I usually manage to avoid them (fattening, even the virtual ones) but temptation would get the better of me.

Good luck with your new job!

I hope you don't tire of the commuting too soon.

good luck with the new job - hopefully they'll be able to hook you up with homeworking a couple of times a week!!!

Good luck with the new job!

Thank you all. I will still visit, just not for 8-10 hours a day.

You could send Mrs. SkidMarks in here more often!

Good luck with work, and come by as often as you can!

Good luck, and may I suggest waving manicly at people on that long drive. it's great fun.

If you have a good stereo system, roll down the windows and blast showtunes, or Bach, or really anything other than rap and punk rock.

Good luck with the new job. Sorry about the new commute. iTunes has a nice selection of unabridged books...
I'll do my best to help with pies.

I'll add my good luck to the rest, have fun with the other road-users!

Music choice will be a mixture of Terry Wogan, Heavy Metal, Acoutsic folk and 1920's comedy foxtrots - plus the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain, but you would probably have guessed that!

The road beckons!

Well, *that* was a given!

May I suggest Opera? Or Nightwish. Even Jethro Tull....

Opera? Screaming women when you're sitting in the middle of a traffic jam seems to me not to be the smartest idea...

What about Don Giovanni? Traffic is hell, after all.

Si! <traffic is moving>

No! <traffic stops>

Si! <moving?>

No! <No!>

I suggest "Road to Hell" by Chris Rea.

Best of luck with the new job, Skidmarks.

I'll <munch> do my best <munch> to keep an eye <munch> on the pies.

<sidesteps away guiltily, wiping pie crumbs from front of t-shirt>

HA! +++throws a pie at the captain+++

Isn't *that* what most people do in a traffic jam? At least that how it seems to me, when I'm breezing past them on my bike.

How about Queen I'm going slightly mad?

Definitely not that "Road to Hell" dirge, some opera, maybe - Puccini or Verdi for driving.

Definitely no audio books as they require concentration needed for the road. I that extra concentration so that I can open the car door at just the right time to wake up bikers .....(just joking)
