Total wait time at Dover yesterday - 3 hours. Well, ok, is that a huge line of cars then? No! Absolutely not! The same number of cars would be processed in 30 minutes, tops, anywhere else!

I fixed that for you.😉

Very happy my arsehole points south

Lathams, earlier today. 

Cunts.

So lovely day. Stayed at my parents (87 and 89) in Wales last night, had a lovely lunch, then we went to the beach, where I put on my trunks and ventured out into the warm*  waters which had only recently covered the hot sand. 

Swam up and down for a bit, laughed as my mother fell over whilst paddling in the water.  (She's always been a bit clumsy, it's not old age).

Suddenly I feel a sharp pain in my right nipple.  Like I'd been poked with a red hot poker. I looked around, couldn't see a jelly fish, there was what looked like a hornet drowning in the water, a few metres away, but can't see how it can have been that. My nipple went bright red and my "breast" became inflamed and the skin went all pink. 

Back at my parents house I had a cold shower and some paracetamol, and the pain and the swelling started to ease. 7 hours later, back home in miseryside, its still sore.  But bearable.  

God knows what it was.  😡

That should be illegal. It probably is. 

If I wanted to get arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit arson, I'm sure a jury of 12 good men and women, would not convict.  But I'm not a dickhead and I'm nit going on social media, to incit a riot. 

Instead, I think you, need to go on "report a crime anonymously" and give the police details of this outrage. Its not even.September.  we haven't had halloween.

I agree but who the hell buys them?

It's still the tourist season and I can't see many people taking them back as pressies from a holiday on the Broads.

I thought Home Bargains was bad enough with all the Halloween stuff out. Stupid thing is , they take away gardening and summer stuff that people might still want.

IMHO Halloween tat should be banned. It really is just unnecessary rubbish than contributes to global pollution.

It is used in the UK as a distraction from bonfire night and should therefore be encouraged.

Cunts in vans parking in the caravan long spaces at services. Fuck off into the HGV section.

It's not so much this that I mind so much as the fact that by the time it's Halloween, you won't be able to buy any Christmas stuff until next Christmas and if you complain some harriden will tell you you need to plan ahead.  Cunts.

Bonfire night should be encouraged if only to remind politicians not take us for granted.

Something i quite like popped up for sale, once again, insurance being utter cunts.

They want £950 to cover it. That's steep.... i got a quote for a similar one a few months back and it was £650

So i look on Autotrader for as close an example as i can find, locate one the same age, spec, trim, colour, almost the same mileage. £730.

The only thing i can assume going through what's available for history is that this one has had a private plate on it at 1 point

So of course, a previous owner sticking a private plate on a car that is now off makes ME a significantly higher risk..... of course it does

FUCK OFF YOU CUNTS.

Some of those vehicles look like they belong to the travelling community*

Plugs hurt. I'd call it a tie. Though you don't usually end up having to remove a plug from your foot.

Can relate to that, although I recently stood on an upturned drawing pin, which is a nightmare because when you drag your foot up, it comes with it, and then when you loose your balance and put your foot down again, it's a double whammy 🥺

This summer is hell.

Remember that well from living in Sweden.  The first year transitioned from -40 to +35 in no time, and remained like that for months, never known anything like it.

Mad Jean banned the Mrs, but I'm unfortunately still her friend*

Her latest obsession is that fiddle bloke, Andre Rieu. So you stick his name in the facebook search box,  do you go for the one with the blue tick and 20m followers, or do you go for fake fiddler with 3 followers? Yep, fake it is.

She eventually works out 3 followers one is a fake romance scammer. So she finds another random fake, and goes oi Andre! this guys pretending to be you....

Tonight the plot is totally lost:
There is somebody who is sending messages that are not nice like,i love yoj, where abouts are you, i love you and other messages like this and i feel sick and worry and i am thinking of writing to the B.B.C. and put in a complain to Facebook. This is upsetting both i and mhy husband who are both elderlh and ill. I want to go on the televidion to speak about mhy expreriences, it is very important that such people sjould be delt with by the Law. They need sueing for such upsettging behaviour, thdy need at leat some punishment

Panorama: tonight Mad Jean exposes lies on the internet. With a guest appearance by Andre Rieu and the Johann Strauss orchestra performing live in Jean's front room.

Back to work tonight. Genuinely don't think I can deal with it anymore.

I've been blocking it out and just getting on with it for years, but recently I've been getting anxious just thinking about it.

My grandad used to say, when you start thinking

" fuck it, I've got to go there again' , then it's time you didn't.

Not necessarily that easy to make the jump tho, I understand that
