Ah, Carol Smillie (that's how it's spelt). She took over from "the lovely Angela" as letter-turning eye-candy on Wheel of Fortune after one series.
I know this because my Dad was on series one, winning a car, an answerphone (this was 1988), a set of pots and pans which my parents still use and a trip to Alton Towers. Which sort of makes my £2,610 look a bit paltry.

what sort of car was it?

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 16 Mar 2011, 9:05, Reply)

Now bear in mind that this was the late '80s when this car was new and relatively sparkly,
and yet to be forever tainted by the indelible stain of chav "culture".

Vauxhall Nova

That car didn't do so well in Spain as nova means "won't go"

Haha, that's genius!
When I passed my test in '96 it became the only car I've ever owned, to date. I drove it for 9 happy, carefree months, and then moved to Norwich where such contraptions are banned

I had a Nova, fucking great little motor
until I locked the keys in it and tried to get in via the sunroof. While trying to prise one of the plastic bolt covers off with a screwdriver the sunroof shattered into a trillion tiny shards of pointy arse-puncturing glass. After searching breaker's yards high and low for a replacement I ended up fitting a marine-plywood replacement, which eventually curved up at the edges adding a noticeable proportion of downforce.

Nah, I'm off on some boring training in 10 mins, so getting my fill of OT

The Yellow Pages used to have a section that said
Boring: See Civil Engineers.

After discovering this I immediately texted my brother, training to become a Civil Engineer at the time, and he pinned that page to the noticeboard at his work. Score!

the thing is
it is totally right. Civil Engineers on the whole are complete fucking dullards with a massively over-inflated opinion of themselves.

Fortunately I am a hydraulic engineer.

no
I am actually technically a civil engineer. I'm not typical of them though. The majority are very grey and very unimaginative
