  1. Axle-breaking potholes on the M6 in the roadworks to 'upgrade' to a 'Smart Motorway'. Nice to see someone has got their priorities right!

      The upgrade includes full resurfacing to give a 6 year maintenance free window as a reward to customers. Patch repairs will be the responsibility of Kier as the main contractor during the road works. You can email Highways England to register your displeasure.

      I cant help but think that this legislation will only send the (annoying) emailers abroad as I, like you lot, have only been asked to re-new by UK based websites. The foreign ones are carrying on regardless and thus will win over uk based spammers. Net result - we all actually "lose" control!

      I don't want any of this lateral thinking malarkey. I want it on a plate; I don't want to use my imagination, or apply logic. And if it doesn't do exactly what I want, I want to moan about it on social media.

      Jumped the lights and got stuck as the barriers came down this morning at Billingshurst. I was on the train which was held up for nearly an hour by it!

      When I was working on the local heritage line a roadsweeper got stuck underneath on of our barriers, it came down on top of his truck. Was embaressing for him no doubt...

      I hope she doesn't have a poorly relative like my new girlfriend Eva. It will only cost me 5000 euros for her treatment, but that's ok, I just won on the Nigerian lottery and waiting for the cash to appear in my bank.

      Got to go, the group of pikees have just finished laying my drive and want me to drive them up the bank.
