WHAT a world of modern miracles we live in. On Tuesday NASA launched the space shuttle Discovery to attach Harmony, a low orbit bedroom, to the international space station.
Ha, so what? Not exactly the stuff of beam me up Scottie is it?
What we should celebrate is the announcement on the same day that the Japanese have invented an in-car toilet for those who don’t have the bottle to hold on.
Featuring a cardboard bowl, large plastic bag and even a modesty skirt, the idea is that you will pull over, that bit is important, and get into the back seat to gain instant, if unpleasant for other passengers, relief.
A spokesman for the company that made the car commode said: “It will come in handy during earthquakes.�
Well yes, there’s nothing quite like an earthquake for loosening the bowel.

Steve,
Talking of modern miracles....
... I have recently bought "Time Machine" a best of music CD by a local Liverpool group called Shack.
I saw them live at the Carling Academy on Friday and they were fantastic. I have seen loads of great bands over the years but Shack were outstatnding. Most magical of musical experiences!
Sorry...nothing to do with cars ... I think I should be on Jade Wrights music blog!
Anyway Steve, get the CD from her and listen to "Meant to Be", "Comedy" and "Miles Apart" in your test car on the way home.
Mike Chapple recently interviewed the band in the Daily Post and he's about your age!
See Moransco the Younger is harking back to those Britpop days of 3rd Team nights out!! ....Beautiful....
