Just in case...
Posted Apr 12, 2010
any of you are wondering where I've been at, I'll be back, dont you worry. It's all been a bit horrid lately and I'm picking myself back up and getting on with things, but I'm having to do that thing where getting the basics done takes longer so you have to drop some other bits...
Anyway, sorry if you've been trying to chat to me or around me and I've been ignoring you or anything like that. You're a pretty well behaved bunch really, but sometimes people feel hurt and I dont want you all to feel like I've just left without so much as a goodbye! I'm just having a partial holiday from anything that doesn't involve keeping my job, staying fed and distracting myself (which is tricky without my own computer and so involves a lot of visiting and not a lot of internetting!)

How NOT to behave!
Posted Jan 6, 2010
Cor, I'm 
ing! I had to pick someone up from the main road near their home this afternoon as they couldn't get their car off their sloping driveway and out of their small side street which has rather a steep gradient... That's fine, all the main roads are clear here anyway.
Except for the large family group (adults pushing small children in pushchairs and accompanying youngish children of around six to eleven years of age I'd say) walking up the side of the road (a dual carriageway with a speed limit of 40mph which is pretty much clear but with heavy snow and slush at the edges. But more to the point, lots of drivers are rather nervous about driving with snow in the general vicinity even though the road surface itself is pretty grippy and is equivalent to a road that has been rained on. Anyway. The children were throwing snowballs at EVERY car that went past. A barrage of snowballs went across my windscreen and down the side of the van I was driving.
The adults/parents did NOTHING. I watched them pelt the car ahead of me and me and the car behind and the adults didn't seem to care in the slightest. What the hell has happened to being just a tiny bit sensible? I was always taught not to interfere with moving vehicles, it is surely a basic thing. I know snowballs seem harmless, but you simply dont throw things at moving vehicles for Bob's sake! It's pretty scary, even though I saw it coming a mile off, and if there was anything in the snowballs (stones etc) you can cause damage to the vehicles. Gawd people annoy me!

So if you're feeling the same way, post here...
(More specifically regarding the Kea thread).
Anyway, I REALLY hope no-one breaks the 100

Bristol mini meet
Posted Sep 30, 2009
Hello happy campers.
My birthday's falling on a weekend this year (february 2010 actually) so I'm throwing the following suggestion out there...
Somewhere, at some point, probably in the evening, on the 13th feb 2010, does anyone fancy a mini meet in the Bristol area? Ideas, suggestions and 'meeee!'s to this address 
This'd be my first meet as well... What a way to celebrate becoming nearly thirty...

Boris Johnson on Dr. Johnson on Radio four just now:
By way of introduction, the presenter made it clear that the two were not related by saying of Boris: "This Johnson is his own Johnson"
I couldn't have said it better myself. 
Anyway, that is all...
