>>No fair! I haven't got the little angel sitting on my right shoulder, saying: "Think of the project ... think of your deadlines - think of your poor kids with no DVD player in the car..." :-)

>You should listen to the little devil sitting on your left shoulder, saying: "That project is not that important ... So what if that project is a little bit delayed - Your kids don't really need a DVD player in the car. In fact it would probably be better if they did'nt have one. Without it they'd be able to enjoy the outdoor scenery..."

Have you GOT any kids? That Bart Simpson "Are we there yet?" is not an invention! Only mine say "How much longer..." (my standard answer is "10 minutes", no matter how far - tee hee). I've got a few thousand klicks trip in France in 10 days, then the boring sit-around-the-tent thing at night. An 8 inch portable, in-car thingy is invaluable.

Billy Connolly, the famous jock commedian, did a TV prog called "B. C's world trip of Scotland and Ireland", in which he took his 2 kids around the breath-taking beauty of the Highlands, etc. When he asked them which part of the trip they best enjoyed, they answered "Toy Story II" or something like that! :-) Kids are oblivious to all that.

When I was a kid, all we had was "Spot the phone box". They don't know they're born! (Oh my God, I'm turning into my grandmother!)
