Cool story, but....

With things like this, doesn't it go through your head at all that you might see him again on the train the next day and you'll get a left hook on your jaw without realising?

Only if you are a big tart like yourself RARS :)

Harlows "friend" is a tart, he won't do that, he would have fronted him at the time if he was going to do anything. Well, in my experience anyway.

Finally getting off the A13 after yet another day of it failing dismally as a so called trunk road, 2 hours to get from Canning Town to Barking. I suppose someone sneezed near it so plod had to close it again, it seems to happen at least once a week now days.........

Get yourself a motorbike mate. Traffic jams are irrelevant on two wheels.

Apart from when you're being scraped off the road from underneath the traffic's tyres.

I know it may seem an odd one mate but when I see that part of the A13 getting smaller in my rear view mirror I always smile because it means I've escaped the infuriatingly useless fuckin thing........

I drove along the old A13 from Prince Regents Lane to Rainham for the first time in years, amazing that this used to be one of the busiest roads in the Empire.

so the other night, having had enough of telling them for feck off, he finally agrees and make an appointment with the local rep to visit him. Tonight at around 7:30.

The only thing is that my mate lives on the 3rd floor of a small block of flats.
Wonderful!!!

If I had a garage or side access mate I would. I doubt it would last 5 minutes round my way if I kept it in the front garden.......

Almax chain round a drain pipe or tree and you're sorted. Them chains are unbreakable with anything other than oxyacetylene cutting gear.
