Darth Vader’s hidden talent

Oh my! All these years I despised Star Wars and I never realised the talent Darth Vader was hiding beneath his mask. It took Luke to find it. Brilliant stuff! Thanks Emmet for posting this!

Always use your handbrake

Tuesday, November 20th, 2007

A couple of years ago while in the USA I was driven to a restaurant by a friend. When we reached our destination and Darren parked, he didn’t put the handbrake on. I looked with horror as he made to get out of the car and pulled on the handbrake. He gave me a funny look and explained about the “Park” gear on his automatic car. Still, I can’t imagine ever leaving a car and not using the handbrake. Pity this guy at a gas station didn’t do the same .. :)
