I have just seen a pink car and emblazoned all down the side and across the back were the words "powered by fairy dust".
Now, aside from the fact that the female driver couldn't have been further from a fairy in terms of size and looks, can you spot anything wrong with said statement?
Yep.
That's correct.

IT'S NOT!!!!!!

It's powered by an internal combustion engine!

"Nobody loves a fairy when she's forty
Nobody loves a fairy when she's old
She may still have a magic power but that is not enough
They like their bit of magic from a younger bit of stuff
When once your silver star has lost its glitter
And your tinsel looks like rust instead of gold
Your Fairy days are ending when your wand has started bending
No-one loves a fairy when shes old"

easier to find if you can't remember where you left it in the car park - and a good security method as very noticeable if stolen!

What has it got to do with anyone what someone has written on her car, as long as it isn't offensive language. Mind your own business.

I must get a car like that.................love it. :-D

The size or looks of the driver are immaterial anyway as your gripe is the powered by fairy dust words.

Anything that makes someone smile is a good thing :-D :-D

SueMaid Report 9 Jul 2014 19:36

Well we would all know it's not really powered by fairy dust. I'd say even the owner knows that :-|

It's unpleasant to make comments on a person's looks or size :-(

The answer to the question is yes, some people are on a
different planet, and they walk amongst us, and I am one
of them :-D

No comment required thank you :-)

similarly those Baby on board signs.........why should that make any difference to me?, unless the "Babe" might be driving..........although some drivers seem childish............

but I suppose that in an accident the rescuers might go looking for a baby in the wreckage
(when there might not be a baby there, at all!!)

or could, he?
