My brother has embellished his electric scooter with similarly hilarious and inappropriate devices and strikes terror into all pedestrians. I certainly believe that the best way to cope with affliction is to raise two fingers to it! I would have loved to have met her.

Just don't call me "the weakest wink" Goodbye Clue: It's another of those UK cultural links. I'm not sure if we have inflicted the programme on any other nation yet: http://www.qwertyuiop.co.uk/gs/atoz/programmes/w/weakest_link/ Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Dear ol' Anne Robinson #12412 01/18/01 11:44 PM Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 1,004 London, UK shanks old hand shanks old hand Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 1,004 London, UK Every time I see that programme (about once a fortnight) I wonder how much Anne Robinson must be cringing inside at having to play the tyrant. Do her children (does she have children?) take the mickey?

I tell you this from the experience gained from years of angrily stabbing at the damned things! Are you not familiar with the impatience switch? The more you press the button, the longer it takes the lights to change. I believe the same principle applies to the 'close doors' button in elevators. Rapport was established superficially.
