The weather can affect driving conditions!

Yes, really. It must be true because Audi tell us that we now need to buy their shiny new Quattro All-Wheel-Drive to ensure that our driving experience isn't disrupted by that nasty horrible wet stuff that falls from the sky because, apparently, when it rains, driving suddenly becomes utterly impossible for anyone who doesn't have one of their cars.

Their nice new technology reacts automatically-changing weather. Its "optimal drive delivery to each wheel is managed automatically and continuously, for superior handling and phenomenal grip – even in less than perfect driving conditions..." , thus ensuring that none of us actually need to know how to drive any more.

I suppose it's all very nice, until the technology breaks down, and then we'll all sit there shaking in our seats because our safety net has been taken away.

Sunlight makes your skin die!

This morning, I was amazed to hear an advertisement on the local radio station for anti-ageing cream.

Apparently, if you sit by a window, or go outside or even dare to expose yourself to even the slightest bit of natural light, your skin will die... but not if you buy this amazing new anti-wrinkle cream from Boots!

Simply slather this stuff all over your skin to ensure that not a bit of sunlight can touch your naked flesh and give you that nasty 'natural' look and, even better, give yourself rickets in the process.
