No - they are a good bunch down there, we know each other quite well.
They have even loaned me a car for a couple of days while they have a look. It's a POS, but it's (probably) four wheels and an engine. And a Vauxhall badge.

So a couple more wheels then the Merc

Apparently.
But the Merc still drove in a straight line...

We have some straight roads!
Ok, they tend to go up and down a lot...

Similar here. The car did not start at all.
To be honest, I expected that. Had the same problem last week and was in the garage. But they did not found anything and it was starting there without problems. Must be a problem with humidity. They checked the ignition plugs and all electrical connectors but did not found anything.
So I did the same as last week:
Try to start until the battery gives up. Wait 5 minutes to let the battery recover a little bit. Retry. Until now I get it started by this procedure. Otherwise I have to recharge the battery.
So I have to go back to the garage after work. Hopefully they have a car for me so that they can let my stay there over night to check it in the morning.
The only good thing: The garage is just 150 m away form my work.

I'd need a more authoritative source than Wiki before I believe it if I were you. Just because it's on Wikipedia, it doesn't mean it's true.

I think it's true! Chuck Lorre showed her never seen face in place of his Vanity Card at the end of Season 8 Episode 9 TBBT.

You think it's true, but you posted linking to Wikipedia anyway. You assumed that Wikipedia was correct, and that's a poor thing to do.
Long time regulars of the lounge remember when a certain former regular, who shall remain nameless, posted a link to an entry in Wikipedia stating that Ian Botham was dead. People became a touch suspicious when they noticed that the person who edited the Wikipedia entry was the same individual.

It's true. My boy discovered it 2 days ago and knew the tribute was coming on TBBT. He doesn't use Wikipedia and found about 3 sources.

Yes, we don't want another Ian Botham debacle.
But I did read a story about her death elsewhere.

The problem is just that newspapers have started using Wikipedia as a source of information...

Enough of this shilly-shallying, I'm off to the US to demand a notarised copy of her death certificate and a an interview with the physician who pronounced her dead.

An actress in "The Big Bang Theory", who plays the unseen mother of one of the less central characters.
Put like that it hardly seems like news - which of course it isn't.

Rather unfortunate name of the film she was lasted listed on before her death; "A Life, Taken".

It was reported all over last week. This is now old news.
