          Totally understand that ...
          Ah, and there could be an interesting debate: How would 'Karma' choose? The actions of the person who committed the mindless act ... or, the thoughts/actions of the person who chose not to feel a degree of sadness/compassion at their mentality? :noidea:

          Bare with me: if Karma is all about causality (good deeds/actions/intent bring good Karma/future happiness and vice versa) someone who does a bad/negative deed would bring about bad/negative Karma?
          What if someone feels ill intent (lack of compassion) towards those persons committing the negative deed/action/intent, would that mean that their negative attitude only brings negative karma in return? :scratch: :noidea:

          Sorry ... just thinking out loud there :redface:

            Good evening F/C that is most kind of you my friend, thank you,as I have been surfing the net all afternoon and Mrs Woo has been most insistent that I get a replacement sooner rather than later to put it politely:heehee: you see it being her pride and joy,I'm afraid she is not amused with what she calls my debonair carefree ,and positive perception although they no longer make the model,she has it fully serviced every year, religiously polishes inside out,and only drives about 2000 miles a year,so its showroom condition minus the wing mirror,I said it will be her Christmas present:lunapic 130165696578242 5:

              You are more than welcome :)

              The company is called D A Autoparts, and you can ring them on 01387 264 813

              They were my 'regular' breakers when I lived back home, but they have also sent me parts on occasion since I moved here. The chap I usually speak to is called Davie, but they are all good as gold - - if they can get you what you need, they will :blue thumb:

                Just thinking, quietly! :snork:

                I'm not well up on this Karma lark but wondered whether there's a big distinction between thought and deed.

                  One day this vandal will reflect on their behaviour (no pun intended) and hopefully feel deep shame. It just takes some folk longer to learn to love themselves and others and unfortunately we all suffer until they do.
                  In the positive, Christmas pressie for Mrs Woo sorted! Maybe not what she originally wanted but will now be really appreciative of!
                  Whilst you maintain your positive spirit Woo you will never be beaten, congratulations for being strong enough to stand by your moral code.

                        When you go to an Indian Restaurant, you can get all sorts, madras, vindaloo, jalfresi etc.

                        So why when you get curry sauce from a chip shop do you end up with a runny yellow flavourless soup that's about as spicy as a wet dishcloth :noidea:

                          Maybe, you went to the wrong chip shop? :scratch: Our chippie does a greenish coloured, thick type of paste, with a hint of heat and call it curry sauce :heehee:

                          If you want madras, vindaloo, jalfrezi sauce .. best use the Indian; if you want chips .. best use a chippy - if you want both ... you are most likely to be disappointed one way or another :grphg:

                            The main difference is that Indian food doesn't have a 'sauce'. They do have a base mixture made from onion, garlic and ginger but they add different spices and different other ingredients to make the different flavours. Chippy 'curry sauce' is a bought in sauce (a thickened runny mixture) that doesn't have the body the an Indian curry has.

                            Most Indian curries have added tomato (apart from flavour, it adds a nice colour) plus whatever they decide is their speciality for the name of the curry.

                            After all this, I think I shall make a curry for myself tonight. :heehee:
