I had to get one of those when they were first issued.

And the police cruiser that matches it

And the FAB1 rolls

And the micro scalextric wacky races cars

And road runner and Wylie coyote

Can you see where this is going.... ?🥺

Round...and round 🤣

staying airbnb at the weekend as it was quarter the price of the hotels across the water

told them id be there after 1850 when their cut off time is 2100

they didnt understand that 'we're not in the military' (neither am i ffs)

got a message off them - see your arriving at 8 - you must be here before 9 no exceptions

wtf

hope shes friendlier when fat manc turns up on her doorstep - its also been paid for so why is she caring

the reason it was picked apart from $$$ is that its 5 miles from the airport

unless plane nosedives in to cape cod bay or mistakes the vineyard (you want how much to get on your bit of rock) as it turns out i can get on but not get off

for the runway

itll be reet

supposedly shes been doing this 8 years - no idea why shes panicking ffs

Americans don't seem to understand the 24 hour clock for some reason.

Reb, I feel for you. 

I may have a crumb of comfort for you.  My father passed years ago, and I wish I could forget him because he was one of the worlds truly nasty people, very very nasty. Imagine how that feels for me.

Try to smile every time your Dad comes to mind, because you are so very lucky to have had a father you can be proud of , instead of one to be ashamed of. You are very lucky to have had him, even for those short years.

Have you forgotten the rules? AirBnB host knows that you are there to serve them.  This has been learnt from Blackpool guest house owners.

Just make sure there are no cameras in the room(s)or you will end up on OnlyFans

It's worse than that.

I think of something I need to look up, or order, and by the time I get to a computer, two or three minutes later, I have forgotten what it was.

Then remember days later and go through the same ritual.

[hairnet]

that was only this time

it has been longer

Michael vaughan on the cricket

What a cnut he looks 

Suit jacket but round t shirt

His trousers are too short

No socks and wearing trainers

And that without him saying anything 

Twat

 

I actually like him a lot more since he had his wings clipped by the ECB, before that he came across like he was channelling Geoffrey Boycott.

I’ve just had to give a colleague a lift to pick his car up from the wrong garage he left it at and then follow him while he took it to the right one for its MOT 😂

My short term memory has gone all to shit since a bad covid spell a couple of years ago.

It's getting to the point where I'll go into a room to do something,get distracted by something and completely forget what I went in there for in three 1st place...

I started couriering in the pre satnav days and thats brought back some nice memories. I used to get the Philips map books, one for each county, I don't remember ever getting rid of them so assume they're either in the loft, under the stairs or buried at the back of the garage or shed, I must have a look for them.

I always bought a 1 in / Mile later 1:50000 OS map when I went on holiday , mainly for hill walking. Currently on my 4th Lake District map.

I also trawl charity shops for old ones for places I’ve lived or know well.

On my way to said funeral today on the A2, saw a Deloeran in full replica mode.

I saw one on a trailer at Brenley Corner a few weeks back - maybe the same one?

I was on the way to Brenley Corner at the time.  Seems likely.  There can't be that many around here.
