Must admit to enjoying the new speed thing on Bolling Road. Trying to pass it exactly at 30, or even crawl up from 25 to 30 as approaching it (and you have to make it check off each mph on the way) is a lot of fun. Indeed, watching it means youre almost certain to crash sooner or later.
The sheer thrill of doing 31 and being told by the flashing light you’re breaking the law! Sheer joy.
From the people who brought you theyworkforyou, comes hear from your MP.
Ever wondered what Ann Cryer does between elections? Wonder why she doesn’t show her face in Ilkley except at the Remembrance Day commemorations? Wonder why she keeps making stupidly racist statements? Then add your name and e-mail to the list, wait for another nineteen constituents to join and then an e-mail gets sent to Ann suggesting she might like to talk to some of her constituents.
Mind, given the trouble me and Yorkie had in getting in touch with her, I wonder which e-mail address it will go to?
And thanks to the teachers at IGS for organising a Children in Need three-legged race funday. What I need on a driving lesson two weeks before a test is two hundred teenagers blocking off most of Brook Street as they cross and re-cross the bloody road.
And what I especially needed was the group of four nubile young things in French Maids’ uniforms. And, yes, with bloody garters. I knew they were only fourteen, but they didn’t look it from behind, okay? It’s not my fault, it’s this damn Y chromosome.
Walking up Parish Ghyll Road, the builders are working on the old nurses’ house opposite Moda in pelle (which has a sale on you’ll be surprised to know).
They’re transferring some concrete slabs from a lorry, so the road is blocked off. This requires two men in yellow jackets at the top and two at the bottom, with thermoses and sandwiches, just standing there and stopping traffic.
It’s a tough job.
Over on cynicalbastard, there’s a few rants about our beloved MP and various other issues.
Well, here we are again. Most of the posts (including those from the IACCTV blog) have come over. Most of the images haven’t. Indeed, given the way the image on the ‘stunning’ post now looks, I’m going to have to play around with that. Not sure how to make a thumbnail connect to the main image.
In the meantime, this is the last regrets WP theme, only using the header from one by northern web coders.
And, as I’ve just discovered, WordPress doesn’t like Opera anymore than Typepad used to do.
Sorry to say this blog won’t be updated that much. More time willbe spent over at Cynicalbastard
