That page was made and posted by a vigilante group in Bristol who are already trying to take action. A crap situation, but they felt after a year or so of no action that they needed to take matters into their own hands. There's quite a large group of people active in Bristol trying to combat it. Not sure how they go about it, but I think they are now working with the Police.

It's not my page... I'd never have time or incilination to go to the efforts to collate all that!


+ Little Angels is exactly what the relatives of one who died on a stolen bike called him at the memorial they set up for him in the street where he crashed. Although she spelt it Angle instead of Angel. The memorial then got set fire to and the biykerrtakrrz gang families raised hell about how disrespectful that was... which raised a few interesting questions.

I do recognise one of the faces in that document though as a kid who tried to attack me for being in his way on his stolen motorbike on the Railway Path when I was cycling home a couple of years back.

My daughter and her bloke live in a terrace house probably 120 years old and she is persuading him to refurb. He has owned it for 12 years, moved in last year and done nothing with it since he bought it.

In other words.... Dad can you.

So last night I measure up for the new skirting in the front bedroom. Width 4.04m. length 4.32m. No problem I will buy 5.4m lengths so no horrid joints.

Something at the back of my mind kept me awake half the night.

OK the radiator will need to come off.
OK I will need to splice a bit of wood into the door frame where someone has split it trying to hang a door .

Then I realise. The stairs run across the back of the front room. Bricked in. So doorway followed by 90 degree turn. NFC of anything longer than 2m getting round that. It is all going to have to come in through the bedroom window. Need to now check the bugger will open sufficiently. He wont be happy if ought breaks.

Tell him to it himself if he's so picky then. Simples.

If he's not asked for it too be done then I can see where he's coming from.

Drift Ghost X camera. Only a few months old. Turned off when the battery ran out and now won't turn on with either of the fully charged batteries I have. Drift customer service is very.... very .... slow... to respond.

New carpet fitted today. Fitters turn up late and then chip all my new paintwork.

Check the carpeted area carefully. When we had a new sitting room carpet put down last year the fitters left a pen underneath it... Carpetright was not pleased with them when we grumbled and I dare say they were not pleased as they were not going to get paid to come and retrieve and make good again. Muppets.
