This is amazing footage. It's a crash test between a 50s Chevvy and a new car. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPF4fBGNK0U&feature=player_embedded#! It puts to bed the myth about big old cars being safer. Check the steering wheel in the footage inside the car.

It was only a couple of years ago that we got rid of my wife's 1959 VW. It hadn't been registered for years and was taking up space. Every time I took it for a run round the block to keep it in working order, I used to be conscious of that steering column aimed at my chest. For a while we...

Yep, this is what scares the bejeezus out of me. We didn't have as many options. And drugs were harder to get. And relatively more expensive. I know a bloke whose 17 year old daughter took something at a party. She was apparently a good kid and it was a first (but who really knows). She died...

Wow, that's a good effort. More than seven mates I would think. Pretty dopey to leave the evidence in the bin. I would leave the evidence on display and let him start the 'conversation'. I'm about 10 years off facing this scenario with my kids, so I'm curious to hear the responses of...
