I never made it to the gym.
I went for a jog instead.
I can't believe the number of people trying to fill their cars with petrol at the moment. It's like trying to get bread and milk when there is a bit of snow falling.

It would probably help

Tanker drivers are reviled universally
Even by other lorry drivers. This is sabre-rattling.

Sad news about Swampy.
He's dead.
He had a heart-attack. The hospital were going to give him a bypass but he protested.

Although that's quite cheap.
I paid £160 for a pair of their jeans.

I remember when it was about 50p a litre.
I could fill the tank in my little Peugeot 106 for less than twenty quid!

The first car I had - a one litre Nova.
Thirteen quid to fill it from 'I've been running on empty for a few days' to 'this'll last ages, a full tank'.

I wouldn't know about my first car - a Mini 850
Because I drove it into a metal fence three days after buying it.

Sideways
It bounced along the middle bits, but every 15 feet or so there's a structural post mounted in concrete.
Hit that side on and knocked the front of the car 15 degrees out of true.

I think you'll find that most mini's had a grille on the front anyway.

It was about 85p when I passed my test ten years ago.
I used to be able to fill my little car for £35. It's close on £80 these days.

Sad isn't it?
I'm also over on facebook reminiscing with a couple of mates about the Pixies and Jane's Addiction.

I don't know about old.
The missus refers to it as 'middle youth'.

I had fun.

I saw them in the late 80's in Newcastle.
Supported by the Wolfgang Press. Excellent gig. Kim Deal just radiated loveliness.

A couple of the people I was with probably did as well.
I was never into it so I stuck with the beer. And possibly a shmoke.

I missed all the reunion gigs
And was too young to see them before they split. I've nearly seen them separately though - I saw Frank Black solo at Reading one year, I've also seen the Breeders and also David Lovering's magic show.

We bought a Peugeot 107 two years ago.
It cost about £36 to fill it. Now it's more like £46. The one benefit of not working at the moment is we're not using much fuel just now.
