Tell us something really trivial about your life (Vol 26)
Discussion
Weird thing last night as I was driving to the hotel, I pulled over to allow an ambulance with everything blazing to go past and sat and watched as the car three in front stopped adjacent to the world’s longest traffic island making it all but impossible for the ambulance to get by. There they were, three cars and an ambulance stopped one behind the other between two kerbs. The solution was provided by the second and third cars mounting the nearside kerb to allow the ambulance to swing up on to the offside kerb to drive round Mr s
tforbrains at the front. What it must have felt like inside is anyone’s guess. Uncomfortable for certain.
That was plain ordinary stupidity but it reminded me of driving home from Kingston one evening when I saw some what-to-do-in-the-vicinity-of-emergency-vehicles driving I have never witnessed before or since. A newish 3 series BMW with the smuggest bloke you have ever seen driving was surfing the ambulance wave. As traffic parted for the blue lights, he maintained his position in front of the ambulance and drove through the gap that was being created. However, not wishing to incur any penalties, he was driving at or below 30. The ambulance crew were doing their collective nut.
Marks out of ten forish behaviour? Ten, I’d say.

Booked a holiday last night.
3 weeks in Florida over Christmas. Some of it in Tampa, some in Orlando, not sure where else we might go.
Brilliant.3 weeks in Florida over Christmas. Some of it in Tampa, some in Orlando, not sure where else we might go.
Where else; Daytona, Kennedy Space Centre, Boggy Creek airboat ride (not as far from Tampa as The Everglades).
And Clearwater beach isn't far from, Tampa either. My most favourite beach in Florida.

We've done the space centre the last 2 years. Would love to see a launch.
There's a football game in Tampa 2 days after Christmas, when we'll still be there, that I might try go to.
Lots of shopping, literally what I'm wearing on the plane and 2 empty suitcases.
Should be good, never been at Christmas before. Will be good to see her parent's holiday home, they've had it for 7 years or so and we still haven't seen it.

Today is a crap working day.
Are you working on new names for all the days of the week; Hangoverday, Boringday, Crapworkingday and so on?Their water supply seems to run from voodoo.
Trying to work out what these installation instructions are actually meat to mean "First installed in a water hose nozzle, the pump nozzle stuffed in of the inlet connector and then be placed isolated from the water, connect to the upper part of the filthy tower just across from the collection of planters, are reviewer 30 minutes later to be stable and appropriate." Eh???
