Having put my car back in for another MOT (it failed, but on different stuff, not he stuff we hadn't fixed, but cheaper stuff) and having to get back to Swasnea to pick up a minibus tomo I got to travel on National Express. I should appologise to the guy who was sitting next to me until we left him at Leigh Delameir services. I did go tell the bus driver you hadn't turned up and he waited, then got bored and drove off.
However, a long bus journey meant I was able to read a fair old chunk of The Da Vinci Code. While I've not finished it yet I'm going to sy that there have been no surprises yet. Somethign I've been able to work out faster than our "heros".
But there is one problem I've had with this book, and that's the fact it suffers from Dumb Cop Syndrome. They are unable to chase a bright red Smart Car on the deserted streets of Paris, despite the fact that Smart cars aren't known for their power.
Another cop knows the people he was sent to detain were on the plane that's just gone into the hanger. He searches the plane and can't find them. Does he look in the car that's the only other thing there??? Nope.
Always one step behind......
