The utter halfwit this morning driving along Hawley Lane in Farnborough with absolutely no lights on whatsoever before 6.30 am.
Clearly there cannot be anything between such an idiot's ears. "Not so much brain as earwax..." Insult credit: William Shakespeare, in Troilus and Cressida. Act V. Scene I.
It was a full hour before sunrise, and there was no light whatsoever. No DRLs (too early a car), no side lights, and no headlights. Truly unfathomable how some people survive to adulthood. Such an unobservant moron wouldn't have survived in the days of Wooly Mammoths and Sabre-Toothed cats, and the gene pool would have been all the stronger for it. I blame modern civilisation for being too soft on idiots...

At 6.30 am I arrived home. Home is approximately ten minutes from where I saw the unlit moron. Sunrise, officially speaking, is either 0720hrs or 0721hrs depending on which source you use (and I presume based on whether they round up or round down).
And, limited though I am in the maths department, even I can work out that 0620hrs is a full hour before 0720 hours, noting, as any observant reader should, the use of the phrase "before 6.30 am" not "at precisely 6.30 am" in my text.
And anyway, regardless of whether he was legally required to be lit in any way, it was "very f
king dark" this morning when I saw him, so he needed to be using his lights, in order to be seen by other road users. Or is the "he's a complete numpty and deserves whatever comes his way" line only to be used against cyclists riding around without lights? If so, sorry for my error - I didn't get the memo...Idiot in a first gen X3 a couple of weeks ago who pulled out if it in front of me as I was indicating to leave a small roundabout at the exit after the lane he was in leading on to the roundabout
I did nothing more than brake (life is too short to flash headlights, use horn etc) but he decides he has been severely wronged, slams his brakes on, jumps out and comes over to my car f'ing and blinding - accusing me of cutting him up etc
Genuinely have no idea what grounds he felt he had - obviously had not had a good day at the office

I've just been out cutting the grass never had to do it so early. Lovely and sunny and 11C what more could you ask for.
It has been wonderfully mild the past few days; I've spent the last two nights waxing the car. Neighbours give odd looks when you're waxing a 10PM, but there isn't a hint of breeze, and it's a nice temperate 6 degrees.Very soothing!
The rail company that left me stranded in Salisbury in the late hours of Sunday evening.
I had to make the journey at short notice, and at no point during the booking (bloody machines) was the replacement bus service mentioned.
Well, apparently, you can't take bicycles on a replacement bus service. Frankly, that's somewhat ludicrous in and of itself, given that these buses have luggage compartments.
This was a train service to rural parts - the nearest stations are often a few miles from your destination. So thanks for turning my 4 mile ride into a 40 mile ride.

I think we both have too much time on our hands
Almost certainly true today, in my case...I even managed to get an evening MTB trip to the trails at Swinley Forest sorted once she'd been fed and watered...

Today, I nominate ACPOA.
Received a PCN for parking in the railway station car park overnight without a ticket.
Thing is, though, I never parked there. I dropped my wife off, drove to work, then drove home.
I then drove in again in the morning, dropped off my wife again, and went to work.
They've somehow "missed" two of these journeys. Thankfully I've got CCTV showing my car elsewhere.
Not that the "evidence" they'd presented would actually prove anyone had parked overnight anyway- the cameras are at the entrance to the pick-up/drop-off point rather than the main car park.

Have had two PCNs from them on behalf of Gloucestershire County Council, issued on a private non adopted road that they have no right to enforce on.
First cancellation letter just said “we have cancelled this because it was incorrectly issued”, fair enough. Second said the same followed by “we issued this because you were parked on double yellow lines and there was no sign you were loading or unloading “ - on a private road where they have no right to enforce anything.
