Nasty drunk emails from my ex last night.
Total mentalist and a nice reminder of why we are not together.
See, it's always a pleasant surprise when you get one of those. It makes you realise why you split up and just how far you've come. Mine come from my (ex) sister in law. Not necessarily nasty, but always wanting something or to remind me of something painful and things I care to forget. I am due another any time now.Total mentalist and a nice reminder of why we are not together.

Morning.
1000kg bomb from WW2 being de-fused in Köln today so they are having to evacuate 20,000 people.
That's your fault that is!
In Guernsey, after the war, hundreds of tons of munitions were dumped into the sea.1000kg bomb from WW2 being de-fused in Köln today so they are having to evacuate 20,000 people.

Have a guess where the Trawlers trawl? Bombs, mines and shells are an almost weekly occurrence. It's quite fun to see the tourists duck when one goes off under controlled detonation and the locals just carry on as normal.

Great uncle Hugh was titular skipper on a requisitioned trawler used on munitions dumping. It sounded a bit hectic. In addition to the real skipper and crew being a bit offhand finding themselves in the Navy and having thier boat painted grey and given a number, some of the incendiary shells were leaking and they had some stuff on deck that they had to keep dry to stop it bursting into flames and some stuff they had to keep wet. Everyone was joly glad when it was over.Have a guess where the Trawlers trawl? Bombs, mines and shells are an almost weekly occurrence.

Car in front of me changed lanes (at speed) on the freeway tonight, revealing a car almost stationary in the middle lane 
I haven't had to brake so hard in years!
Blimey. But you got away with it by the sound of it.I haven't had to brake so hard in years!
Phew.
Neither of my chariots has ABS, which means I tend to leave a gap to the vehicle in front : I needed it this time. I was a bit surprised not to get rear-ended, too - that's what happend last time I did a full-on panic stop, many years ago.
