Exactly what I was thinking. Make sure you're on the last train out when it blows

Thanks for the spoilers.....

I swear I live in some film set for columbo or something. My tiny little villagehas had everything in the last year, murders, divorced lovers blowing up houses, goldiggas killing off old men and now one of our postmen has just been arrested for stealing post, I know this as I live in the local Post Office. I swear the smaller the village the larger the scandels

Tropical Storm Fay in my face!111

Okay, so it didn't quite strengthen into a Cat 1 hurricane - but it's near as dammit been one, being right on the line. For all intents and purposes this was the first hurricane I've lived through since I moved to Florida

The rain is the main thing - the storm has been incredible, not passing through south Florida in one day like they usually do, but coming up to north Florida and then just.. stopping. So instead of the 60mph winds and window-smashing rain passing through, it just stayed around!!

I'm lucky -- although there's an element of judiciousness. I picked my gaff with an eye on extreme weather, so I live on a first floor apartment in a complex that's made of concrete and brick and built on a hill. No flooding kthnx but some other areas near me have had two or three feet of water in the streets, not counting the damage caused by the wind. Power outages left, right and centre, and five deaths

Probably the most mental thing though was looking at the weather radar a couple of days ago and seeing this whirling mass of cloud, hundreds of miles across, covering practically the entire state with the eye of the storm heading right for where I live ... eep!

Full of rage at the moment! I finish work at 10:30pm and usually takes me about 20-30 minutes to get home. Well tonight I got home about 15 minutes ago, so midnight basically. The reason, roadworks or no roadworks I should say! When I got to the area where there were supposed to be doing work, all that was there was cones blocking out a side of the road and temp traffic lights. They actually had not started to do any work yet! There was no equipment to be seen, just a truck and a few guys standing around doing nothing. I basically got home an hour later than usual for NO REASON at all. Just thought I would share that with you guys.

Happens to me sometimes too mate, its ridiculous. There are always roadworks on the M8 with not one bloody person working on them at night time. I've drove past at 8pm then back again at 4am and the roadworks haven't changed sometimes. Why on earth put them up if no-ones gonna do anything!




In other news though... Has anyone got the new Tiger Woods 09 for the Wii, I quite fancy it. Not sure what the Wii versions play like though. I'm addicted to the golf in Wii Sports but want something with just a wee bit more oomph!

Me and the wife went to the park with a couple of friends the other day for a walk and a go in a pedalo on the lake - very nice. Just as we're walking towards the lake, wifey comes out with this gem: "So, how much are the paedo's?"

Was just in Tescos earlier, and on their kiosk video that they pipe all around the store, they were advertising Ninja Gaiden 2 as Ninja Garden 2.

It was really odd to see the box of Ninja Gaiden 2 on the screen that clearly has Ninja Gaiden 2 written on it, while underneath it the title added by Tesco read "Ninja Garden 2" with a voice over saying "Ninja Garden 2 in store now at a reduced price."

Dunno, but I bet it was free for kids

What a lovely day. The scumbag neighhours next door have just got back of their holidays (lovely nasty school teacher that has a go at me everytime I sit outside even one day having the cheek to say to me I was playing the disabled card for sitting out) and got a few muttered comments when I sat out when I got up in chair of oh god he only sits out when where out (im housebound sue me pml). His gobs* m8 over the road was doing other neighbours roof when he spotted el douche teachers roof had a big crack in the chimney. As the gobs* is a character from Harry Enfield (only me ) he couldnt resist going up his roof to inspect it. Cue chimney stack falling down and them kicking off at each other

Karma!

This reminds me of something I did a few years back - had to go to another city to get a Visa to get into India. Had to get there stupidly early, hang around for hours to get approval and by the time it was done I was knackered, lost and completely fed up.

I knew my train was leaving soon, and I saw a policewoman further down the road.

I meant to ask her where the station for Virgin trains was.

What I actually said was,

"Excuse me, where are the virgins"?
