Thats a good idea, something I'll do if i get my phone back/its replacement.

That or a piece of rope and tie it too my waist.

Helicopters. Especially when they fly over my house at 5:30 on a Saturday. Gits.

On the plus side I am up, dressed, fed and I've ironed all my shirts for next week. I can also be in town to get a few things for dinner tonight and pick up my dry cleaning before the place becomes a sea of rude idiots who roam about with nothing better to do with their heads down looking at their phones instead of where they're going.

They will have all their funds handed to private enterprise and publicly accountable bodies will no longer deliver education. But to better that, she then announces that parents of students will have no say in the running of their schools. Parent governors will no longer exist.
In one week all public accountability for schools in England has been removed. No national curriculum, no national pay arrangements, no accountability.



How undemocratic.
But at least we get a referendum on Europe.

Remember, ""War is Peace; Freedom is Slavery; Ignorance is Strength."

I must be an angry man this week.

Car drivers.
The one who pulled out on a roundabout on me and squashed me between his car and the island. He saw fit to ignore me as I yelled, screamed, revved and fought to get out of his mess.

The one who saw fit to flash his lights repeatedly because I braked sharply in the outside lane of a dual carriageway in front of him. Might have had something to do with the National Express coach that moves from lane 2 to 3 without indication. Clearly Mr Audi thinks I pop the back end out on dual carriageways for the hell of it.


The upside is that the tyres are being changed Tuesday any ways.

Knee locked up and fell down the stairs.
Plus side they removed the bit that caused it.

The aversion to indicators, I really struggle to understand why car drivers just dont use them.

The other day in the asda car park, I'm trying to exit, as I get on the exit road I can see a Mini on the left, full right lock, no indicators and no brake light to suggest shes parking (She was also stationary) I carry on my cautious approach, I decide to overtake while checking to see if there's anyone in the car, as I'm alongside she springs into life, nearly hits me then blames me. I stop, tell the other half to get off the bike, I go over and say "Please explain how that was my fault", and I get "You could see I was trying to turn" and I said "Oh yeah, cos you had your indicator on didnt you?" she looks puzzled, tells me to F off and walks off into the asda, undoubtedly to destroy people's heels with a trolley for an hour.
