I've got up, made a bit of brekkie, put some music on, but it's too quiet in the house. I have nobody to sing to nor listen to my bad dad jokes.

Penny goes to UK every 2 months, for 2 weeks to see her elderly mum.

She goes today and first few days are great. Then it gets a bit lonely.

But her 91 year old mum needs her.

I can arrange to come over for a fortnight and keep you entertained. Obvs I'll need expenses paid, free accommodation and beer on tap, but it's the kind of sacrifice I'm willing to make for the greater good.

We're not spooning, mind.

Was more than usually surprised at how little of the sale price got transferred to me so I had a look & they've not only taken postage cost into account before applying the final value fee percentage but also the local purchase tax for the recipient.

Thieving fuckers.

just thought you’d be interested to know, lawyer man rang me, he’s spoken to a couple of key witnesses about my crash, one of them followed the learner all the way from *** to the crash and stated that she was all over the road all the time, so much so she was making other cars do avoidance manoeuvres, at the time of the crash both witnesses said she was between 3-4 foot on my side of the road, once the crash had happened learner and what we presume is her mum just sat in there car while one of the witnesses came running over to see if I was ok, the witness claimed I was dead (not breathing and blue) so she preformed cpr on me, luckily she was a trainee paramedic, she did that for 20 minutes whilst waiting for the ambulance, about 10 minutes in the learners mum got out the car and came over to me taking pictures of me basically dead on the floor, the learners mum then said she could smell alcohol on me, another witness said she pretty quickly turned everyone against her by showing no remorse and trying to blame me dying on the floor when about 6 people had seen what happened

Ok, most of the message should be in happy things as the lawyer has said (very angrily, see the comment below for why) that they should win now and he'll do everything he can to get the absolute best for my mate, but -

The bits that are boiling my piss are in bold. I mean, reading the account has made me cry again - the positive bit from the lawyer also made me cry for the opposite reasons!

But FFS - some woman took her learner daughter out and caused a major life changing crash (could have been life ending without the trainee paramedic) and took ZERO responsibility. I know insurance companies have always said don't admit anything - but seriously?? How callous can you get???

Some people are cunts. Unfortunately we have to learn how to live around them.

As is my wont to say, 95% of the people you meet are nice, decent people. The other 5% are cunts. The trick is learning identify, and ultimately avoid, that piss-boiling 5%.

When I become the benevolent dictator of the Earth (it's a matter of when, not if), the 'Five Percenters', or at least the ones that survive the first cull, will be forced to wear 'Cunty Hats' whenever they step outside, to enable the 95% to avoid interaction with them.

Gremlinette noted that 'Spirited Away' had been adapted for the stage and was running at The Coliseum. Two tickets for a matinee performance, just £458 to you, squire.
Want to see Tom Holland in the latest adaption of Romeo and Juliet? £275 a ticket, guv.

Who the fuck is paying these prices? I'll stick with seeing my mate who does a bit on am-dram for The Fairlight Players. Tickets are tenner.
