I'm dead!  
Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

Me too.

Not that I txt while I'm rally driving (or even answer the phone). I worked for a company in the UK where it was a sackable offence if you knowingly had a phone conversation with someone who was driving, even if it was "hands free".

Sorry, this is one of my pet hates and anyone states that only x number of people have died and there are bigger things to worry about are ignoring the fact that x number of people would probably still be alive today. Ban it now and nail up any offenders. Nail some sense into them!

I'm slightly disappointed!

As a learner driver, I hardly allow anyone to talk, let alone play music or make a phone call!

And if you never start, it will never bother you. Much like wearing seatbelts and using the remote control on a "colour" TV

By that logic driving should be banned altogether

Very sad that predictive texting  doesn't account for localised  regional/national dialect  ,ken whit a mean an nat!

The answer to life's problems are rarely found at the bottom of a beer glass - but it's always worth a look.
