Don't encourage them!!

It's nearly ALWAYS sommit innocuous that fcuks someone's back up....you don't expect it to, which is why it happens.

I don't even want to try and explain why I had to have stitches done in a few places...

Because it's an empty house.

It's stopped now, but I can still hear it!

What difference does that make??

If it were me breaking in, I'd want the house to be empty...that way you don't bump into Joe Schmo and his new Uzi...

Empty, as in nothing in it at all. The fire place might be worth a bit as it's victorian!

Losing all the photos I took yesterday at Thruxton! Seems the sd card has gone caput! Trying some software to see of I can recover them. Only had the little lens attached so no action shots, just around the paddock pics if I can recover them.

Uh-oh Frankie.. that isn't good.

Do you not use multiple cards throughout a day anyway so you at least retain some shots if one of them dies?

I've lucked out so far today, I've seen a lot of rain through windows, but not been caught in any yet.

That said if the train doesn't hurry up and get here that could all change. There is a very big, very black cloud looming up....

THE A140 Between Ipswich and Norwich, last meeting in Norwich had me leaving around 1/4 to 5... had to head back down the A140 to drop someone off. Two fecking crashes blocked the road,..... everyone took to the back roads to bypass the blockage, seems to be a common thing on this road!!!!

One lane bloody farm tracks do not take massive volumes of traffic... upshot gridlock.. did not move anywhere, as everyone is a complete Cnut on the road and all grumpy feckers who think they are the only ones who have been held up...

Long day late home, pissed off.... had to moan... now done thanks from reading... shitty road :(

That area is a nightmare. I tend to drive down the night before if I've got a meeting or court case in the morning.

I've lost count of the number of times I've been screwed over by an accident on the A140, I feel your pain Frankie, sometimes with that road it's better to just turn round and go back and find a way round that's not being used by the vast unwashed.....

People who decide to use the M&S BP station for their week long shopping. Got stuck behind a lady who had to buy everything including bananas. The staff literally had no clue what to do about it until one of them decided they should open up another till...easily 5 mins into me waiting and I wasn't the first one after the lady so God knows how long they were there for before me!

To be fair I used to think this ^^ get stuck behind people shopping, as all I wanted to do was pay for fuel and get out, after all it is a petrol station right?

Not anymore, there are a few M&S in stations near me and I will use for food shop only, and if anyone gets the hump that I am buying food only they can whistle.
BP or whoever teamed up with M&S to sell food, its their responsibility to have enough people manning the tills, not the shoppers fault. While on this subject they should also have enough staff for the coffee and bakery sections. You go in to pay for fuel, only to find the guy in front is getting his order in for coffee, buns, doughnuts, god knows what and the cashier then walks from the serving till to the coffee machine and spends the next 10 mins over there while a lovely long line of angry people line up behind you. lol, grrr, lol.
