Quit Inhaling

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7685797.stm
takes you to the update on the family of six from north Wales who were killed following a collision with a lorry on the M6 a few days ago.
So, it's bloody obvious that death on the roads is still very much a part of british life. Hey! it's an element that keeps me in a job tho' i'm sure many people do not wish to meet medics of any kind following such a destructive event in their lives.
Quit inhaling?... see i've already talked about the need for other motorists to clear a path for those running on blue lights but there's another group of motorists who are not in front of an ambulance but wish they were. The ambulance has a sick lad/ladette/gent/lady etc on board. The roads are not the smoothest of surfaces in the world and the vehicles are not the best sprung. Answer? drive with care. which may mean travelling at 40mph out in a 60mph national speed limit area.
Having you sucking on my motor's tailpipe is not conducive to my concentrating on what is happening around the roads ahead of me.
This must include the gent who tailgated me for approximately 15miles last night despite having a minimum of 4 safe overtaking opportunities to pass us.
The reason he got passed? despite an unwell octogenarian on board i pulled over. Did he say ta very much? did he bollocks!
Whatever the vehicle in front tailgating is FUCKING dangerous. Plumbers do not have automatic rights-of-way over any other vehicle so think before you endanger other peoples lives. In fact, THINK and do NOT ever put other peoples lives in danger.

Basic courtesy. I'm sure the United Kingdom would be in a far better position, financially or otherwise, if people could just learn to be more courteous to others.

something to think about

in Concert

Going back to 30th Sept.08
Katie, Fo and I headed to Cardiff on tuesday afternoon (appropriate eh?) to see the Moodies. My last trip down had been in December 07 to se Jeff Wayne's musical version of The War of the Worlds and it had been just Fo and me.
The Moodies were at St David's Hall http://www.stdavidshallcardiff.co.uk/english/index.asp
A venue i'd wanted to see something at since it was built.

They (the sound engineers) knackered the sound and balance. Shame cos the guys were singing their hearts out. They did sound great in a great hall with great acoustics but the sound guys failed them.
All the songs were fab., having said that.
The favourites and few more from further back. Most i knew and a couple I didn't.
Tuesday Afternoon, Nights in White satin, Question, Driftwood, Steppin' In A Slide Zone, I'm Just A Singer (in a rock n roll band).......

Justin and John
The lighting effects were good.
The audience were appreciative.
The run home went without incident.
The hard part? - crawling from my pit to go to work the next day. Bleargh!! Graeme Edge. Another of the original line-up.

Thank you the Moody Blues.
You do good choons

The Return

There was mention previously of my struggling to remain online. It finally quit toward the end of July and it has taken until yesteday to put me back online. I have gained irregualr access via other peoples PCs but it is nice to be at home dabbing away with my own sounds, smells and visions.
I have parted company with the isp that is AOhelL and taken up with Madasafish. They need a kick up the rear n all but to a lesser degree.
All for the price of a working router.

This is my friend's cat. CAT. Tho, formally, Ripley. She is no more. She was, i think, 16 or 17 yo. She had the funniest moods with the craziest miaow. She also had the softest fur and, despite being a moody so n so, i thought she was great so i just thought i'd dedicate this post to a beautiful cat who lived life in the suburbs of south-west London.
To Cat!!
