There's a ladybird on my lounge ceiling, how random

That looks more like a Harlequin/Asian ladybird than a native.  Invasive species: http://www.harlequin-survey.org/

Don't worry, the asbestos in the Artex will get the bugger. #protectourborders.

I wondered what those were, seen loads at work this year.

[Exiled_Tat_Gatherer]

I know it shouldn't - but THIS does.......

 

I have to admit I'd want to send something over........

[fordperv]

Oh dear I didn't think this still happened

Catching up with Liza T on R2 an she read something out from Mark(?) gaffer-taping up the sunroof of his old but new to him Rover 800. Anyone owning up?

[AlabamaShrimp]

Yay! Not sure when it's starting though

I have hundreds of the damn things around my lounge window seals. That plus the fruit flys.....

That's a genuine work of art, the Sistine Chapel of bodgery.

I get them around my window. But a simple encouraging them to move will often see them off. It might take a few tries but I think they eventually get the message.

[cms206]

Not sure if this'll work, but I'll give it a go... whilst leasing new cars isn't really of interest to me, LINGsCARS is where I'd get one if I was going to.

He has been having some real problems recently, hopefully he will get it all together. 

 

 

My grin is an empty office (dont start lecturing until 7pm) so 90's indie on and no one cares

Possibly one of the best gigs I've ever been to - supported by THERAPY? at Leeds Met.

Wildhearts are the best band ever I reckon.

 

Ginger always seems to have some really bad phases, I haven't read the latest but I'm not suprised

I saw them on that tour too. It was a joint headlining thing I think. I was at Wolverhampton not Leeds though.

 

Probably one of the best gigs I have ever been too, and I've been to hundreds. Therapy and Wildhearts in the same place, wow!

 

I even pulled a gorgeous rock chick that night. Then I got too pissed and must have put her off. Never saw her again. Great night all the same though.

Doesn't still happen !!! if only.

 

On the lorry drivers forum i frequent there are whole threads on bloody bridge strikes, its every day now and far far worse usually than that little scrape.

If it aint bridge strikes it bloody massive crashes, often fatal, involving several lorries at a time, usually on a motorway where they're all going the same way with on average a max 5mph speed differential, HTF do they manage it.

 

Can't understand it meself we've all passed a strenuous test (lots of them in an auto lorry), had 35 hours of classroom training* and the walk round check has seen all boxes well and truly ticked, the gearlever has been switched to D and the cheap as chips steering wheel attendee is in place, WCPGW...

the sarcasm is strong in this one Obiwan.

[panhard65]

The Wildhearts were the dogs dangly bits. I saw them many times back in the 90's I remember them at the corn exchange in Cambridge so loud the bass was making rings on the top of my pint. Stood next to ginger watching the sex pistols at finsbury park some years ago, there were some cracking bands on that afternoon.

Last time I was on a coach on the motorway at their level I couldn't believe how many were cocking about on laptops or watching a film or box set. That may have something to do with it maybe?

[gordonbennet]

I've only ever once seen a bloke at the wheel of a lorry with a film playing,  in the dark too,  that was a johnny foreigner.

 

Don't see many lorry drivers fiddling with phones any more, haven't seen a texter for a long time, nothing wrong with using a hands free device on the phone for speaking mind though i suspect that will be the next thing to be banned.

 

See dozens of people in company cars texting with the phones on their laps every day, lots read reports or some bumf too on A4 printed sheets.

 

Lorry driving standards took a steep dive when they replaced the gearstick with a switch, now any bloody fool can attend a lorry wheel so any fool is attending.

[dollywobbler]

Actually, I find hands-free phonecalls seriously distracting, so I avoid them by not having a hands-free kit. Oddly, making videos I find less distracting, but then you don't see the chopped bits where I've stopped talking because I'm concentrating on actually not crashing.
