So what are the Coen (Cohen?) brothers first names. (I nearly said Christian names which would be a really dumb not PC thing to say of a Jewish family I guess.)

(Thanks for the turn Eastie, A green kiss for you boyo!)

Bit of Automobile trivia.

It was a sweltering August day when the Coen brothers entered the posh Dearborn, Michigan, offices of Henry Ford (an infamous anti-Semite), the car maker. "Mr. Ford," announced Norman Coen, the eldest of the three. "We have a remarkable invention that will revolutionize the automobile industry." Ford looked skeptical, but their threat to offer it to the competition kept his interest piqued. "We would like to demonstrate it to you in person."

After a little cajoling, they brought Mr. Ford outside and asked him to enter a black automobile parked in front of the building. Hyman Coen, the middle brother, opened the door of the car. "Please step inside, Mr. Ford." "What!" shouted the tycoon, "Are you crazy? It must be a hundred degrees in that car !" "It is," smiled the youngest brother, "but sit down Mr. Ford, and push the white button." Intrigued, Ford pushed the button. All of a sudden a whoosh of freezing air started blowing from vents all around the car, and within seconds the automobile was not only comfortable, it was quite cool.

"This is amazing!" exclaimed Ford. "How much do you want for the patent?" One of the brothers spoke up, "The price is one million dollars." Then he paused. "And there is something else. The name 'Coen Brothers Air-conditioning' must be stamped right next to the Ford logo!" "Money is no problem," retorted Ford, "but there is no way will I have a Jewish name next to my logo on my cars!" They haggled back and forth for a while and finally they settled. Five million dollars, but the Coen's name would be left off. However, the first names of the Coen brothers would be forever emblazoned upon the console of every Ford air conditioning system.

And that is why even today, whenever you enter a Ford vehicle, you will see those three names clearly printed on the air conditioning control panel: NORM, HI and MAX

Or was it just Joel and Ethan after all...

You moaned all of Friday to the site supervisor to put some crushed rock down so your velvet knee high 'cfm' boots woudn't get so dirty again

[bitingmidge]

I suspect that your workboots were dirty and a bit wet, so you left them at home, and wore your best going-out rubber thongs.

It was a cold night and the ground had frozen...

Correct.
I knew you would get it .

When I left home the temp was fine and no frost.
When I got to work, 70 kms away, it was white with frost, I almost doubled back home to bed.
