2000 light ales from home

[hirez]

Or in this case, several hundred miles from the Elsinore, which is somewhat unfortunate given we were supposed to be in that there Whitby today. However, some dozy arse in a turd-coloured Disco thought he'd have a bash at remodelling the Saab's tailgate on the A46. This also somehow buggered the driver's window electrics, so it's stuck at half-mast. Not really a state of affairs I was comfortable ignoring for a week, so it's off to the bodyshop tomorrow.

If they think it's worth fixing, I ought to be handed a spare car. This will no doubt be a shopping trolley, which we can fill with too many bags and attempt to putter north in. Again.

The other options are going to be expensive, so I'm trying not to think about them.

This comes on top of some house-stuff wanting money thrown at it and some seriously shit news I've not got around to processing just yet.

The temptation to crawl into a succession of vodka bottles and not come out 'til the music stops is really rather high.

Oh cock!! All ok I hope? No whiplash or cut knuckles( form caving said drivers head in)

Always a joy to be rear ended. Especially when 3 month pregnant!!

Hope car is fixable.

Think its time to buy a tank!

(I am 26 and still want to be tank girl)

Me and Disco will raise a glass to your old girl* whilst we get trollied sat night.

Oh dear! Well, you're not missing anything cos I'm not there yet. Hopefully see you tomorrow!

Oh bugger. Hope you and Pat are unharmed.

If you make it to the seaside, do consider breaking your homeward journey in the Land of Pie.
Of course, I can't argue much with the vodka plan.

Arse. Sorry to hear it. =:-/

Arse! Hope you're alright and you make it up to Whitby somehow.

[hirez.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's just one damn thing after another right now.

(Fnarr.)

Oh. For. Fuck's. Sake.

Not that you needed anyone else to tell you that.

Urgh that sucks, hope things improve! If there's anything you need help with on your return, you know where to find me :)

[hirez.livejournal.com]

Being sarcastic at consultants while wearing a dust-mask with an A on it?

[samoth.livejournal.com]

By the time we both return, Maria may have killed them and hidden the bodies :)

Arse!

(hugs)

[spride.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry.

[jendama.livejournal.com]

Yuck! What's a Disco?

[nalsa.livejournal.com]

Man, those Landie drivers are a law unto themselves.

Hope the car isn't too buggered, and you & t'missus aren't too shook up.

If 'Disco' = Discovery, then that explains the relative damage (according to your dear wife, practically none to the other car, entirely buggered boot to yours). Them things are indestructible - good if you're driving one, not so good for anyone you hit...

At least you're both ok.

[drpete.livejournal.com]

That's a real bugger - commiserations.

A Discovery Land Rover.

Arse! The Burlesque Gorefest crew are heading up from Bristol to do shows at the Metropole, not sure of their travel/packing/timing arrangements but they do drive. Possible standby lift there.

Otherwise, fingers crossed for a good courtesy car.
