Grandkids

Caught them playing within the compound of the local electrical substation, 11KV. CJ says, I saw what I thought was a fire, so I have shown him video of what happens in a substation fire. He is still winging that everyone is having a go at him.his mum saying it is because we love you and don't want you to get hurt.

Granddaughter who was with him, tells her mum what else they have been up to. Putting stones up car exhausts, mum phones me and I have had to do a tour pulling stones out of exhausts. Gits, now I wouldn't have done that when I was an 8 year old. I would have stuffed a potatoe as far as possible to block the thing and see if it cuts the engine. Or fires it out. Not that I have told them that.

I think I met that driver on the way to work.

Mercedes driver who changed his mind on one of the busiest roundabouts in north London and left me standing in the middle of Stirlings Corner with cars driving straight at me while he hurled abuse because I didn't read his f@&&ing mind.

He didn't see me in the mirror probably because I was between it and his eyes, and didn't hear me over the horn and engine bouncing off the rev limiter with the baffle out.

Grr

i had just turned into the road leading to my street where a van always parks so you let the oncoming traffic go by and when clear you go as you would only this time a fekwit decided to come tearing out his drive at the front of the van only to be confronted by me so i stop as you do and he starts getting angry and gesturing from behind the windscreen so i flip the bird at him and he starts raging to which i find funny. he then decided he is brave and stops his car parallel to mine and opens his door to which i jump out and it starts turning into a shouting match (mostly him) till i tell him what he had done and that if he continues to be in my face..... its strange how peoples attitudes suddenly change... lol

Amazing how you can go for decades without going to the doctor for being sick and then suddenly totally go to ****e.
The on demand morphine button is some conciliation though.

It always amazes me when a driver gets out and is arsey with a biker wearing armour and, what are in effect, knuckledusters.
