had my creaky bits checked out earlier.
garage couldnt locate the direct cause of the creak, had it up on a ramp and said there is no play in anything, and might just be a dry bush http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y14...e/quagmire.jpg or something, and they would only be replacing bits for the hell of it.
basic upshot was that its ok to drive at the moment, but if/when it gets worse, bring it back and they'll look at it again.
oh, and no charge :)
I would hope so ;)..Quote:

might get it checked elsewhere too, just for a second opinion.
Something to cheer everyone up.
A first-grade teacher (Ms. Brooks) was having trouble with one of her students. The teacher asked, "Harry, what's your problem?" Harry answered, "I'm too smart for the 1st grade. My sister is in the 3rd grade and I'm smarter than she is! I think I should be in the 3rd grade too!"
Ms. Brooks had had enough. She took Harry to the principal's office. While Harry waited in the outer office, the teacher explained to the principal what the situation was. The principal told Ms. Brooks he would give the boy a test. If he failed to answer any of his questions he was to go back to the 1st grade and behave. She agreed. Harry was brought in and the conditions were explained to him and heagreed to take the test.
Principal: "What is 3 x 3?"
Harry: "9."
Principal: "What is 6 x 6?"
Harry: "36."
And so it went with every question the principal thought a 3rd grader should know. The principal looks at Ms. Brooks and tells her, "I think Harry can go to the 3rd grade" Ms. Brooks says to the principal, "Let me ask him some questions." The principal and Harry both agreed.
Ms. Brooks: "What does a cow have four of that I have only two of?"
Harry: "Legs."
Ms. Brooks: "What is in your pants that you have but I do not have?"
Harry: "Pockets."
Ms. Brooks: "What does a dog do that a man steps into?"
Harry: "Pants."
Ms. Brooks: What starts with a C, ends with a T, is hairy, oval, delicious and contains thin, whitish liquid?"
Harry: "Coconut."
At this stage, the principal sat forward with his mouth hanging open.
Ms. Brooks: "What goes in hard and pink then comes out soft and sticky?"
The principal's eyes opened really wide but before he could stop the answer, Harry was replying...
Harry: "Bubble gum."
Ms. Brooks: "What does a man do standing up, a woman does sitting down and a dog does on three legs?"
Harry: "Shake hands."
The principal was trembling.
Ms. Brooks: "What word starts with an 'F' and ends in 'K' that means a lot of heat and excitement?"
Harry: "Firetruck."
The principal breathed a sigh of relief and told the teacher, "Put Harry in the fifth-grade, I got the last seven questions wrong.
