Hands up! Not my car. But a good photo nonetheless by the abovementioned fjp.
Look, I have no complaints what with my job and roof-over-head and health and friends and so on and so on... but I just feel fuelled by ennui at the moment. And I'm also acutely aware that that sounds like a 21st century complaint made by people with no real problems. So I can't win. This emoticon will lighten the mood and explain the situation:
"is Dr. J really a doctor?
Yes - he works in Accident and Emergency in a Dublin Hospital. Try and find him."
OK, I will. There aren't that many hospitals in Dublin. I admire anyone who can work in A & E. I come from a long line of docs and nurses, but am hopelessly squeamish.
Ennui? Sounds like Jonathan Ross discussing the Arsenal attack. Time to do something to banish it. A special trip. A love affair. Enlightenment. Something.

That's the other mmmmmm, the one that goes, "mmmmmm, in retrospect that wasn't a very good idea, I hope my kids never do stupid shit like that."
