    Insanity is........

    ...a very swollen river, a very dodgy bridge and a motorbike.

    It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?

    Insanity would have been to gun the engine and blast across.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    LOL. Yeah, right. One wobble of the bridge, one slip on the slimy surface and it's, "Goodbye bridge, hello Pacific Ocean"!

    Bit of a wimp! Danger of "burning the clutch out"? Reckon he was lucky there was only a small boy coming the opposite way across the bridge. In Philippines, there'd be an *ssh*le on a habal-habal, with four+ people on it, coming at him on the same width of bridge, expecting to get past!
