I exited a clothes shop today to find a rat snake sitting outside. It had recently had dinner and was trying to digest it - I'd never seen that in real life - genuinely amazing, this huge lump halfway down the body. I was worried about people standing on it (or trying to kill it) so stood guard while the people in the shop called animal control. The half hour spent guarding it was like something from candid camera - people approaching the door not looking where they were going and suddenly shrieking and leaping back. The police came, got their batons out and successfully wrangled it into a paper bag to take to the woods. All in hundred or whatever degree heat. A proper Texan shopping day!

I predicted it!
(decision and reaction)
I’ll say this, it’s not legally indefensible.
Also, it does not mean that political gerrymanders cannot ever be challenged anywhere. Just not in federal court based on the US Constitution.

Coming home from shopping this morning. Guy ran into me and forced me from the exit lane on the roundabout into the keep going around lane, and damaged both cars. Cant think of a better way to put. After we stopped to exchange details, he claimed that I was to blame. Told him I had a dashcam in my car and we'd see about that.

Back in the house within an hour I'd been contacted by his insurance company to accept full responsibility and any costs would be fully met by them. No liability or costs on my part.

The inconvenience now is pissing me off. Cant get replacement car till tomorrow, my car not getting picked up till Monday. School holidays start today and have arrangements for next week.

However it could've been worse.

[Minnie the Minx]

Oof! Glad you’re ok.

[Tom Waits For No One]

Pain in the arse about the car Jim but glad to hear that you are alright.

[Jimbly]

thank you both x

[Hugh]

If you're nor hurt, that’s all that matters. The rest us just a pain in the arse.

Round 2, picked up to collect replacement car. Drives to Tesco to pick up a few things, come back to car, notice a puddle underneath the car. Not sure it's from mine. Drive home, leave it for an hour, puddle forms.

Guy comes to switch cars, while the guy is checking the first car, I notice a screw in one of its tyres.

Hopefully new new car will be trouble free. As I'm taking the wee guy to Alton Towers next week. I say wee guy he's as big as me now.

Best o'luck Jim. Heard Beebsy broke her wrist being hit by a car herself.

[Jimbly]

He's changed his tune and now says it wasn't his fault.

We were just in this restaurant and this twat with his ‘audience’ of dining companions ordered a mushroom based meal and then said ‘are the mushrooms fresh?’ And the waiter said errrrr well they are not frozen, and the man said ‘were they freshly picked in a wood this morning?’ And I wanted to twat his shitting face in and I prayed, prayed that the waiter would say ‘no, I shat them out my acne ridden arse’ but he did not.

It is perhaps worth noting that it was the sort of place that very obviously would not be serving mushrooms unless they had very recently been foraged from a nearby forest.

We are in Tallinn which Baron correctly used to refer to as the pork knuckle emporium of Europe. We haven’t been for three years and in that time to my complete astonishment vegan restaurants have sprung up all over town. Restaurants that are not vegan have vegan options. Our hotel has all its breakfast foods labelled as vegan or not vegan. It is absolutely unbelievable.
