      I do worse things on the road here on a daily basis. In Houston, I did worse things on an hourly basis…

        @Chris  Slightly open to interpretation, but a Police Officer or a DVSA representative might well take a dim view of Giles' load.

        I once had to 'straddle' a concrete paving slab at ~70mph on the outside lane of a motorway (Freeway), fortunately I didn't hit it. A few people a few hundred meters down the road where not quite so lucky given the resultant destruction I saw.

          I actually don't know, but the guys in the wood yard were pissing themselves laughing.  I'd certainly have had my collar felt for not having a high-vis flag on the end of the stack of wood.  The bit of plastic sheeting that I tore off a pallet of bricks, does not really count….

                  Then these turned up…..Les is hung over and Alex has damaged his back (when a car pulled out in front of him when he was cycling home)....., so I guess shifting them is down to me....(Paula, conveniently has a subsequent engagement  🙂 🙂 🙂 )

                      Nothing too bad, thanks. I’ve broken two ribs before and it’s not that bad, so I’m sure it’s just muscular or bruising from where I rolled my rinçage over the handlebars and onto the ground

                                      Prefacing your dumbass question with the above is poor form, sir. How can anyone effectively mock you now? Bloody killjoy.

                                        On the other hand, seeing as you apparently can’t infer meaning from two nouns, I wonder if I can interest you in some tartan paint for your latest interior design project? I also have some top of the line glass hammers available for those delicate nailing jobs…
