  • Big Up to the Romanian lorry driver

    Had my wing mirror bashed by an artic today in a narrow back road that he shouldn't have been sent down. Chased after him to let him know he'd bent my wing mirror back & fair dues to the guy, when I drove further down to park up, he'd walked all the way back down the road to find where I'd parked.

    Turned out casing was a bit scratched but no biggie. Poor guy had been sent up the wrong creek by his sat nav & I wished him well getting out the other end.

    Rest of the day didn't go as well.

    Had to cancel the Dylan Moran tickets  

    Finally gave up on MFI & referred it to Trading Standards

    Went to the butchers for some chicken & when I got it out to cook it for tea found it was off  ... time to look for a new butchers, methinks

  • Dreams of Johnny Vegas

    Johnny Vegas

    I have no idea why I keep dreaming that Johnny Vegas and I are on some sort of journey/adventure together.
    The last time, we were in a luxurious hotel trying to head downstairs to find a hospital or some form of treatment for hurt limbs after a hectic sojourn through hell & high tide.  We found the hotel swimming pool, which was a far better distraction.
    This time we'd been on some far flung trip, down rapids at one point I think - but that's what comes of playing Wii golf too late at night (I'd got the flowing rivers implanted on my retina, I think). I gave him a 'mate' kind of hug at the end - he had a really nice, dark blue, soft jersey top on. I remember thinking, what lovely soft cotton.

    Ho hum.
