TICTH the M3, the M25, the A3, the A308, in fact EVERY FUCKING ROAD between Southampton and South London that made my life Hell and turned a journey that should usually take about an hour and a half into a trip from hell that took over FOUR FUCKING HOURS!

Oh, and the level crossing at Motspur Park can go fuck itself as well

Learner drivers aren't allowed on the motorway. God knows why though, because by today's experience they'd never get out of first gear anyway.

Ha! I'm guessing that the A30 was also stuffed, then. I've got plenty of friends who live along that road - when the M3/M25 clogs, their lives become sheer hell. It can take an hour to do a journey which would normally take no more than 5 minutes.

Four hours to do Soton to London? Hmm - you got off lightly. I've known it worse, to be honest.

(I don't know if this is the right place for this, but can't think of where else to put it)

I went into a Thrift store today and whilst browsing the book shelves (as you do), came across almost the entire collection of Left Behind books. I couldn't resist the chance to look at them. Now I feel dirty, dirty, DIRTY!

(But on the positive side, on the next book shelf along was a complete collection of Armisted Maupin "Tales of the City" books. I considered putting them alongside the Left Behind series and seeing which ones burst into flames first!) [Snigger]

The Left Behind books are worse than Barbara Cartland's (though, I must admit I've read none of either), because some people take them seriously.

I must admit that I thought most/all Shipmates would have at least heard of the Left Behind franchise.

Armisted Maupin's books are about San Francisco in the 70's & 80's and focus a fair bit on the gay community at that time. He was also one of the first people to write seriously and sympathetically about the impact of AIDS.

The worlds of the two different sets of books could not be further apart.

I've read three of Maupin's books and found them trivial. Then again, they started off as newspaper serials - but then again so did Dickens' books.

TICTH ISIS

I am a peaceful person and I can normally rest content to live in apeaceful and diverse society. I also know ISIS are not representative of all Muslims. But I am angry right now. I have never in my life been happy at the thought of someone elses death but they are tempting me to be.

ISIS are monsters. They have no respect, no compassion, no integrity. They are cowards and fanatics. They murder and persecute innocent people. I want nothing to do with their god. If they are so sure that they're right and a martyrs heaven awaits them they should fucking show their faces when they butcher someone in cold blood and post the video online. Cowards.

Our local library computer system, which doesn't issue receipts for reservation payments, and has just charged me, again, for reservations made last year, which problem I had addressed with the librarian last visit, and been told it would be corrected. Not the usual librarian, English not her first language. Will address the problem again on Friday with real librarian. Meanwhile, I have paid £2.65 I didn't owe them, because it wasn't until I walked out that I realised that £4.40 is not a multiple of £0.35.

Rightly so. Their god is the devil himself. They are the antichrist (so I heard a priest call them a short time ago).

They are already in hell, but don't know it.

If ever I was to be persuaded to believe in possession, they could do it. They have opened their minds to believe that evil is good and will not accept that those who teach they are wrong are expressing the will of Allah.

Apparently, their talk, when not of beheadings, is very ordinary - missing Mars bars sticks in my head.

I gather that some Muslims believe that the djinnee can be saved. May these young men come to repentance. And those who have led them astray (though not without some suffering).

Pressure washing works far better and much easier than sanding, plus you don't breathe in the dust. Probably an eighth of the time. Having just done painting after pressure washing which took about 3 hours over 2 days which took me 2.5 days the last time. The amount used by mine in 30 mins is less than the average shower. Maybe you could offer to hellp. With 7 friends if you're set on this.

Thanks for the heads-up on that SS: I'm visiting some aged aunts at the time so will adjust my journey accordingly.

Of course, its much better to come over the Beacons and down the valley but it will add about and hour and a half to the journey in each direction.

What part of drought is so hard for you to understand, you mouth-breather? It's also easier to wash down the sidewalk than sweep it, but we're in a fucking drought.

But seeing as the oil companies fracking in the area are wasting a metric buttload more water than the guys using pressure washers all over town, I could re-direct my ire.

Yes please do, and stop showering, do your dishes by hand etc. Maybe your friend could paint some other time. Or come and live on the Canadian prairies, where we have flooding. 9 .75 inch rise on the lake from July flood, with rain to start this afternoon with 4 inches expected and yes, another flood warning. Third year in a row like this.

You know who you are, stupid car drivers pretending to be overly polite. You try to wave cyclists through intersections, refusing to take your right of way, thereby endangering us. We slow down so you will get to the intersection before us, but you still insist on trying to wave us through, completely unconscious that there are other lanes and drivers who don't understand that you're trying to make yourself feel good at the expense of cyclists' safety. So I will yell "go!" at you and if you fail to understand that will have to simply wait until you do go. Of course, it won't teach you anything because some cyclists won't fight your false courtesy and go themselves.

In despair over the Napa Valley Wine Crisis. i presume? ( picks up Big Mac. )

(Off to go educate myself. And NP, I wish bikers around here had the kind of intersection common sense you do. Most of them kill themselves accelerating to an intersection when the only way they would be affected by simply maintaining their speed is Not Getting There First.)

Essay deadline crisis? "My baby ate my homework and you being part of a patriarchal regime would not understand." didn't work?
Close. No option for part-time teacher training practicums. Twelve hours a day, five days a week for eleven weeks is standard.

Ridiculous unless you're 19 and single with no other commitments.

TICTH YouTube, for shoving a 15-second commercial for an R-rated movie, complete with loading and shooting guns, explosions, and shouting people, in my face before I could watch a little soothing Mussorgsky. What the hell were you thinking? What if some little kid dialed up that kind of violence? Totally unacceptable.

You think teaching is going to be much different? When you're going to parents' evenings, all the other lovely extras? Teaching practice is tough, but not unrealistic.

Full-time teaching in the first few years will not be different. I understand it gets easier as you get more experienced and resourced.

But I'm not planning on teaching full-time, only part time, so that reason does not hold for me and a part-time internship is all I need.

Meeting with the Dean to kick up a stink shortly.

So I will yell "go!" at you and if you fail to understand that will have to simply wait until you do go. Of course, it won't teach you anything because some cyclists won't fight your false courtesy and go themselves.

Some moronic drivers do this to pedestrians too. And then get upset when I don't cross into the path of a car zooming along the other lane. [brick wall]

The lovely person, a dog owner, who has decided to drop* onto a neighbourhood path a carrier bag, which has spilt out the collection of other bags containing the faeces of their dear little pet. Before our very heavy rain, so the whole thing is a sodden disgusting mess.

The village has some signs declaring that there is no Dog Poo Fairy. I think in this case we need a Dog Poo Troll.

Unfortunately, there is no way to identify them - it may not have come from the adjacent garden.
