I once hit a Jag whilst parking!!!!!!!

Cost £1700 worth of damage to the jag and £4.50 to my Fiat uno!!!!!!

 

I do like to do things in style!!!!!!!!!!

Here is Claires Fiat Uno....with said 4.50 quids worth of damage!

 

[Claire!]

This is the beggining of a second bad day!!!!!!!!!

 

I left the house at 7.15 this morning to get into work for 8am as i heard on the radio that there was a hold up on the M1.

 

I've only just got into work and it's now 9.10!!!!!

 

Which means i have to work through my lunch hour and i can't go shopping for new shoes!!!!!!! <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Loses some of its edge when explained but...

 

Who was Dick Turpin?

What did he do?

What was the announcement on the radio this morning??

 

 

[Claire!]

LOL!!!!!!!

 

Oh God!!!!!!! Honestly, i know everyone thinks that i'm thick as sh@t but i have no idea who Dick Turpin is (is he like Sherlock Holmes?), i'm assuming that he's a detective? and the announcement on the radio this morning said that there was an accident on the M1 at J 6 or 7 and the M10 was closed off and everyone decided to travel to St.Albans on the A5.

 

Is it just me?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Sigh.

 

You said there was a hold up on the M1.

 

Dick Turpin was a highwayman.

 

Don't ever go to Jongleurs, Claire.

 

 

[Claire!]

LOL!!!!!!!!

 

Oh!!!!! I thought i recognised the name!!!! Didn't he go out with the wicked lady? Her house (which is haunted by her) is in Markyate!!!!!

 

That's right, i remember now!!!!! His spirit and his white horse still roam Watling street (just behind the A5).

 

Wow!!!!!! See, i just needed you to jog my memorie!!!!!!!!

 

I don't know where Jongleurs is though!!!!!!

Try trying to get into London knowing that all stations past Kentish Town closed, only to get to Kentish Town to find that's closed too, and then sitting on a stationary train outside it for ages while they try to siphon everyone out a side door in single file. Good ol' Thameslink. Worth every penny.

[CANV EFM]

blame thornsy

[EFM's Librarian]

HB - I bet you're looking forward to the changes to Thameslink in September <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I knew that they were closed!!!!!!! Kentish town and Blackfriers were closed due to flooding and Kings Cross was in a bit of a fluff as well!!!!

[herts blue]

Bit of a fluff? Is that a technical term?

 

Still could have been worse I suppose. Could have spent last night stuck in queues on the M25 to get the backend of Essex to see City lose 2-0 to a bunch of kick and run merchants in front of 3 men and a dog. Oh, I did.

[EFM's Librarian]

Wrong Claire. They announced that the route between Kentish Town and Blackfriars was closed, not the actual stations themselves. Although I suspect Kentish Town may have been closed because of overcrowding. All because of flooding in the Kings Cross Tunnel, which has happened many times before - unfortunately <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
