My Almera has cost approx: 9k £140 18k £190 27k £250 36k £450 45k £450 That's including any work that needed doing too like new brakes etc. The actual services cost either £91 or £130 depending on the mileage from a Nissan main dealer. -PK-

I have a small penknife on a keyring, about 1.5 inch blade which i use regularly for opening crates and boxes etc. I also own "other types of weapons" but they are only on me for martial arts training, otherwise stored out of sight. -PK-

I ALWAYS use my left ear on the phone. Everyone i've worked with uses a headset on the right but i always have to flip the mic round the other way round if i take a call on someone elses phone. If i'm holding a handset, using a headset/mic or using a mobile handsfree in my car it's always to my left ear. Just feels wrong if i use my right ear. -PK-

10 items plus toast?!?!? 1. Bacon 2. Sausage 3. Eggs 4. Beans 5. Tomato 6. Hash Brown 7. Mushrooms 8. Black pudding And i'm stuck, what other options are there? -PK-

I use an itrip with my ipod in my car, they only broadcast across a few feet so wouldn't interfere with police or anything else. They're only illegal because of a really old law about pirate radio broadcasting, not a new law specifically outlawing the use of the itrip. I bought mine from a UK based website and delivered to a UK address with no problems. -PK-

A few weeks ago i was nearly the victim of a robbery and possibly car jacking situation. I went out on a delivery to Boundry Road in Wybourn with about 40 quids worth of beer and cigs. When i got there it just didn't look or feel right, i called back the number that was left with the phone staff and they said they'd be right out... After a few minutes with no sign of a customer i started getting out of the car to check i was outside the right house. Just stepping away from the car: "this doesn't feel right" i thought. I saw a head stick out from behind a bush: he saw me, i saw him, "****!" I thought. "NOT GOOD". As i got QUICKLY back in the car 3 guys arrived wrapped in black jackets and scarves and carrying bricks. Luckily i hit the central locking just as the first thug reached the handle of my car. Car, and myself were then pelted with bricks as i drove away. About 10 minutes later i was shaking like fooook covered in glass with a malboro light outside the BP garage on Bramall Lane. A guy that works for Autoglass however was just what i needed. He drove past, turned round, stopped to see if i was alright then booked me in for a new windsceen straight away. I know it's his job to replace windscreens, but i think he went above and beyond by stopping to check i was alright. -PK-

Isn't there also the danger that children are exposed to advertising of a particular product or company every day that they go to school? The McDonalds Firth Park Acadamy or the Pepsi Stannington Acadamy? -PK-

Has anyone noticed how crates of beer are getting smaller? 24 used to be the standard beer crate now most supermarkets are stocking them in 20 or even 18 packs. They have an "indroductory offer" price of a couple of quid less than the 24 packs, then withdraw the 24's and sell the 20's at the same price!" (Check out bottles of Carlsberg Export in Sainsbury's for example, 20 for £9.99, price going up to £12.99 soon which is what the 24's cost at the moment) Also what happened to 330ml bottles? For a while now Carlsberg Export and Kronenbourg have been coming in 300ml bottles and Stella are now selling 284ml bottles for the same price they used to sell 330mls for! Grrrr. -PK-

Driving back from Sheffield to Leeds 5 nights a week at about 4am i generally have the M1 pretty much to myself. I generally drive at the fastest speed i can while still getting good fuel economy. (I've a fancy computer type thing in my car with an onscreen fuel economy graph.) That generally means about 70-80mph when it's flat, down to about 55-60mph on an incline and upto about 100mph when the road slopes down. I tend to keep a more constant 70-80mph when i'm around other vehicles though. -PK-

I played it for hours on the original playstation then when i got my PS2 i bought Silent Hill 3 but never really got into it. All a bit eerie though, remember the shadow/ghost type things of a small child that used to randomly appear and walk through walls in the first one? All while your radio crackled away... Looking forward to seeing the film. -PK-

I really don't see what the problem would be or why this would be embarrassing. You ARE only just 18. YOU think you look young (i assume from the baby face comment). And OTHER people think you look young, or even think you're about your age but aren't sure. Do you look infinately more old and mature and like an 18 yr old than you did a month ago when you were 17 and 11 monthes old? Probably not. I have to ID people on a regular basis and can almost tell as much from attitude when producing ID as what i actually see on the ID itself. In the past few weeks i've ID'd a 22yr old guy who looked about 16 who had his passport ready because he expected to be ID'd, and a girl who looked about 17-18 but when asked for ID was outraged and wanted to report me for not serving her and not having the right not to serve her and.... etc. (No more beer for you now!) Last time i was ID'd was in New Zealand where the serving age is 21 and they have a "Challange 25" policy. I was 25 at the time, showed my ID, bought my beer, moved on. Cheers. -PK-

When i was 17 i drove a Nissan Micra 1.2LX. She had 0 street cred but was faster and had better acceleration than most of my friends cars with their body kitted Novas and Fiestas. I still have one as an emergency back up vehicle for my work. That was my favourite car... Then i got a (Jeremy Clarkson shoot me now.) L-reg Nissan Sunny, called Bruce. I'd moved up in the world! It was a 1.4! It had metallic paint! A spoiler! (Like it needed one?!?!?) An electric sunroof!! He was written off in a 30mph bump:diagnosed with a perfectly fine engine but body not worth the cost of repairing. That was my favourite car... Then i got an Astra, 1.6 GLSi, called Marilyn. Ooooh she wasn't pretty in maroon, but.... she had central locking & electric windows etc. And she was quite nippy, until someone stole her, thrashed her to bits and left her dying on a roundabout in Harehills. That was my favourite car.... Then i got my current car. Called Lady V. She's a 1.8 SVE Almera. All sorts of gadgets inside.... She's my favourite so far but based on previous patterns... My next car? 2.0 vectra/astra/primera. -PK-

Actually using that thing you did in your martial arts class on a real person. -PK-

Statisically speaking i suppose i get into my car every day. Can't remember the website but driving for a livbing is one of the most dangerous jobs. -PK-

I live in a very nice part of Leeds (yes there are some!) called Chapel Allerton. I suppose it's a bit like somewhere like Fulwood but with it's own bar/restaurant centre akin to Ecce road but not studenty. I drive over to Sheffield to work in the Bramall Lane/London Rd. kind of area. -PK-
