Unexpected Good FortuneTravelling through Seattle a good 15 years ago, I remembered an old friend I used to blow up Action Men with. We were bored, nothing to lose , so I looked him up in the phonebook. He was the only one of that name in there. "Come and stay," goes he.
Me and my mates were living in a car at that point so a bed was a novelty. After searching for a while, we rock up to a very posh mansion on Puget Sound with its own Helipad. "Come flying," goes he.
Has your luck held out recently?

I love the police.....No really!!!I have only been stopped for speeding once in my career which, considering I do between 20 and 50 THOUSAND miles a year and have done so for 20 years, is not bad.
Anyhoo,I was stopped within 100 yards of my head office in Royston in my brand-new Audi A6 for doing 38 in a 30 zone. It was Hertfordshire's finest just doing their job I suppose and I wasn't the least bit arsey or snide, just gave them the info they wanted and waited for the summons. A few days later I was called by the aforementioned police and asked why they had "my name and phone number in a PC's pocketbook"? I wasn't about to tell them that this info was the ONLY bit the PC had actually written down, the rest had gone into a small pocket pc type thing that they were trialling and guess what? The numpty had deleted the info instead of downloading it into the constabulary's mainframe!! Letoff number one.
Letoff number two was this week when I recieved a letter from Northamptonshire ticket office (ALL bastards, every one of them. No, really, all of them) that they were not going to prosecute me for doing 35 in a 30 even though they had a pic from a truvelo. May have something to do with the fact that they took 2 MONTHS to inform me, not the legislated 28 days.
Which is nice.
My length and girth are no joke, believe me.
