Bloody hell fire.

What a day, what a fucking day.

Set off from Dundee at 9:30am after an early site meeting. The snow started
around 9am & it was fucking epic. A9 closed, M74 closed, just about all
fucking roads closed.

I set off accross country on horrible ungritted ice & snow in me trusty
Passatt. Took hours to even get near Lockerbie after the big pile up i
avoided. Pulled out of the services getting up to speed & BANG something hit
the car & the windscreen was utterly wrecked.

I pulled over right quick & a bobby pulled in.

A wheel handle off a lorry trailer had hit the front of the car gouging the
roof too. I was covered in fucking shards of glass, as is the inside of the
car. The inner plastic bit of the screen was holed, but pretty much held
out. If the thing hadnt hit the roof too, the bobby reckoned it could have
come right through. Right in front of me face

I'm amazed Sir Tony was granted a HGV licence. ;-)

 

Lucky escape

 

He was warned about going to Dundee. Ever.

Did you tell the plod wanker to **** off with his high viz jacket or
did you roll over and pretend we don't live in a police state?

 

Any change would have been an improvement ;-)

Glad you're unharmed.

 

He was OK, he didn't mace me or give me a section 59, it's a start to new
police beginnings He saw it happen, buggeryfuck it was bloody close.

On a bike, not a price in hell, i didn't even see it.

Well, there's a slight enlargement in the ringpiece & a very odd smell. I
wondered what the smell was, thinking i might really have shat me pants, but
that plastic stinks when it stretches, the stuff in the screen.....

Lucky escape mate.
On the bright side, if it had come through, not much chance of
damage...

 

Dunno, it *was* raining

Can't have been such a bad start to the day, seeing as you were leaving
Dundee ...

Hmm, was this good luck or poor judgement? Clench factor 9 or 10
sounds like ...

Glad you're OK mate ..

 

*DO* be careful, Bond!

Glad you escaped, but don't think you'll always be lucky...

You weren't responsible for that no 141 bus attempting to get down
into Monument station this morning, then?

 

It's one of my 'easier' escapes, i have had some quite serious
'episodes' on the roads, but, i'm down to 1/9 lives now i reckon.

I drive a hell of a lot, so yer bound to pick up this kind of shit, but
to see it a few inches from yer fizog....

The way i look at risk, is the way i look at chance. Fleeting glance
either way.

If you cant see it, you cant deal with it.

Unfortunatly for you cunts, i'm still here & won't be converting to some
religion unless the tarts drop 'em like enola gay.
