It's only 2 pages for me (changed my board settings from default) and I wish I could make it only 1 but the board software doesn't support that at this time... :thumbsdown:

Znod,
to find out you will have to try and get your hands on a TV series called Father Ted. Its about these two Catholic Priests who live on a fictitious remote little island off the coast of Ireland called Craggey Island. I will let you make your own mind up.

"Father Ted and Simpsons break rules of conversation: Eat my shorts Ted
by Caroline O'Doherty
WITH scabby faced Fr Jack punctuating curses with slugs of whiskey and beer-bellied Homer Simpson giving child protection agencies nightmares, two of the nation's favourite TV comedies between them manage to violate every known code of decency, intelligence and good taste.
But psychologists say that's not the only violation they're guilty of. Father Ted and The Simpsons stand accused of the contravention of conversational conventions. Right so, Ted d'ye think the tooth fairy can fly? Now that would be a contravention of the convention of relation in which a comment should be relevant to the discourse taking place.
But there are all sorts of conventions to upset. And one researcher set himself the onerous task of setting up a video recorder, plumping up the cushions and finding out just how serious a crime Ted and the Simpson clan had committed. Just as he suspected - contraventions all over the place. A total of 125 in one episode of Father Ted and 116 in one daily dose of The Simpsons.
According to Dr Brian Hughes, of the psychology department at LSB College in Dublin, this illustrates how, when and why language is perceived as humorous. That in turn helps explain why nonsensical dialogue can be funny instead of plain irritating and why blatantly incorrect statements are taken as jokes instead of lies.
Despite the study containing the kind of impenetrable technical terminology that would make Bart Simpon's brain explode, the topic did raise a laugh at the annual conference of the Psychological Society of Ireland in Kilkenny. And Dr Hughes admitted to being quite fond of one of the two programmes he studied although professional objectivity prevented him revealing which one."

Dash knobs have become smaller and flimsier as of late at the request of emergengy room physicians as they are easier to remove from patient'sfaces rather than the older heavier rocket ship shaped knobs on older cars ...progress.

Back to the knob.
I have always thought I would love to have the volume knob just to the left of the Idrive knob.
I do use the steering wheel volume control, but I believe it would be more functional to move your hand a little to the left to adjust the volume, than move it off the Idrive knob.
