Friday 13th

[Bedfordblue]

I went to this lakeside retreat thing a few years back, it was a bit mad, ½ the councillors were goosing each other, but then it got really weird and they started being killed one by one.
Turns out years before a young lad had drowned in the lake after getting a hard time there, and it was only his re-animated corse that was doing the killing.
I tried to escape on a rowing boat and the bugger launched himself at me out of the water, next thing I knew I was waking up in the hozzy and the busys reckon there was no sign of this lads body anywhere.
Shame about you day though mate, good luck with the parking appeal & hope your Mrs getting another job soon.

I’ve just been served a couple of raw prawns. I’ll keep you posted of any downstairs disasters.

Funnily enough, I got married on Friday 13th and today is my 5th wedding anniversary. All gone brilliantly so far.

Personally I’ve never been particularly affected by friggatriskaidekaphobia

Don’t usually believe in stuff like this but todays events have me questioning myself

1, Wife lost her job scuppering our house move
2, Daughters car was written off by insurance following a crash earlier this week
3, Parking ticket for over staying by 6 minutes

All this happened today, WTF

What disasters have you had on Friday 13th?

Hope the wife finds work quickly mate and at least your daughter is safe. Hope things pick up for you pal

I'm sorry to read about the misfortunes your family has encountered. Hopefully, things will take a turn for the better very soon.

Was working from home today and didn't touch myself. Wife has come on the blob so she won't be touching either. Not the best Friday night.

I was made redundant on the 13th a long time ago.

Spurred me on to greater things.

I feel for her, I’ve been there, but she’ll find something better.

I visited a friend 40 miles away.
Set off in my street .. on average 2 cars an hour pass down it. As soon as I set off there's a lorry and three cars heading my way - I have to wait for them, each doing 5mph.
Next 20 miles manage 40mph in unrestricted country roads thanks to the cars ahead not fancying the drizzle.

At last I'm the only car on the road before a long sweeping hill, but a cement lorry chooses that moment to pull out of a lay by, causing me to break hard ... a professional driver who had acres of space to pull out after I'd gone. He proceeds down the hill at 30mph causing me to have to brake the entire way.

Eventually the cement truck goes straight ahead at a roundabout after doing a flat 30mph along 50mph roads and through 20mph villages unwaveringly, professional drivers my arse! , I turn left.

Straight behind a tractor towing 20ish tonnes of topsoil at 15mph for the next 5 miles.

When he turns off I'm immediately behind some duffer doing 22mph in a 40 zone, for the next 3 miles. They finally turn off and I finally get to 30mph in the last 200 metres of my journey, before realising that there are new "British gotchya" 20mph signs up ... I'll probably get my first ever speeding ticket. Feck.
.
Fricking nightmare of a country to try and move in these days.

I come for the Everton, but I stay for the cantankerism.

[Which of your fleet of cars please chris, if it's the canal boat, I'm happy to call it all quits...]

The Jag... i reckon I got 10mpg on that journey.
20 years ago that same journey was 40-50 minutes. Today it's always around 70.
