Probably at some crossroads somewhere..., although, I wouldn't recommend it.

Sounds all right to me. Souls are overrated anyway.

No crossroads left in Ireland. They've all be replaced by roundabouts.

Can't sing "Went down to the roundabout, fell down on my knees" and keep a straight face. Doesn't have the same ring about it.

Here's a link to Pat.C.2.E.'s version of The Magic Roundabout. The regulator playing is astonishing! The roundabout is a safer option to the crossroads in my opinion though, presuming the driver sees that it is, in fact, a roundabout.... and that the DeVille hasn't been notified that there have been modifications to the highways and byways of a certain emerald isle off the west coast of U-Rope that looks like a teddy bear :tomato:

I can't take credit for that Padge! Such a creation can only be expected to arouse from the enlightened recesses of one Mr.D.M.Quinn's luminous orb.
