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.

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.

If fuel gets lot
You might not be able to go 'doughnutting' in the carpark of your local industrial estate this Friday night.

I remember when it was about 50p a litre.
I could fill the tank in my little Peugeot 106 for less than twenty quid!
(, Wed 28 Mar 2012, 21:14, Reply)
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'.

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.

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.
