A little baby puke (well, a lot) is NOTHING compared to being raped by a towbar and the rest.<br /><br />Gosh, I wish we'd come up with a trophy for this. Maybe I can find a toy caravan/RV, beat the crap out of it with a hammer, and mount it on a plaque for you?Warty Mammalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07942793134631438689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33880433.post-57130167450356048872009-07-22T10:31:28.370+10:002009-07-22T10:31:28.370+10:00We haven't had many mishaps here of that natur...We haven't had many mishaps here of that nature, but the wind and rain can ruin a holiday for sure.....

The worse thing to ever happen was a puncture on the kopu hill up the Coromandel Penninsula. So I only remember happy warm seaside holidays.<br />Now I prefer some luxury if going on holiday.Ali Honeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12671890094425941272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33880433.post-27291909856519955112009-07-21T12:54:07.659+10:002009-07-21T12:54:07.659+10:00a great find for panda fanatic!
