Corruption Spoils A Nice Weekend
I had numerous things I was going to blog about this weekend, and one of the funnier/shocking moments was seeing a woman doing the washing up in her caravan. Nothing strange about that really, apart from the fact that she was being towed down the A303 at about 65mph! I assume it is illegal, but if not, it is total madness. I witnessed a caravan falling of a car on the M3 a few years ago, it collapsed like a deck of cards liberally spewing its ...

It has crossed my mind to downsize to something like a Golf, I don't need a big car anymore as dealings with ...

It is neither unpleasant or particularly wonderful, it has access to lots of amenities, and is surrounded by lovely countryside, and both London and The South Coast are accessible with relative ease via the M3 or Public transport (said the frustrated estate agent). What has surprised me is ...
Death Of A Fridge
I killed my fridge last night with a carving knife!! Some may claim that I am guilty of brutal murder, though I am going to vehemently claim manslaughter. I admit that I did stab the freezer compartment of the fridge several times in a frenzied attack, but I maintain that at no time did intend to kill it, and was acting from a position of diminished responsibility, thinking that I was acting in the best interests of the deceased.Butchered: ...
