    Agreed. The 100 metre 'sprint' back past said girl who has just scalped you is, although entertaining, worthless when you just can't keep the pace!
    Why? Because I'm guaranteed a seat all the way in.

    Why the compass, use the stars/sun and triangulation.

    Automatically know where any destination is in a strange town without asking for directions.

    Be able to land an airliner when both pilots are disabled by:-
    a/ not following the rule about eating different meals.
    b/ terrorists.
    or
    c/ unlikely plot-lines.

    There's a box of 12 creme eggs in the cupboard and, although I don't particularly like them, I'm sorely tempted to give this a try.... :lol:
