Ha. Why’s that?
I don’t have a hat, probably the biggest problem.

A weird one today. There’s something incredibly satisfying about watching someone in a big machine break apart a building!

Getting to the end of my tether with my current role.
So two new jobs applied for… missus isn’t happy about a potential move and it’s a demotion to take them… but we shall see how it turns out.

I watched a video yesterday about a guy using a laser to cut his Ford Fiesta in half… he got really angry as it entirely destroyed his perfectly flat and freshly installed workshop floor!

Did a good deed tonight.
Driving down the M3 car speeds past me doing 90+ (don’t ask me why I know it was 90+ 
) with our their lights on. So I snitched to police and maintained a trail, directed them until 6 police appeared behind me and boxed them.

How did the conversation go?
Always been interested to think how much ongoing cooperation they’d want from you.
It was good. Just had to keep them updated. Junctions, services etc. Every road sign I had to read out though. The ones that are like M3 A 105.0.
They asked for my vehicle details so they knew it was the car in front of me. They gave me a brief i would get a short blue lightwhen they were behind me and I was to pull to one side but they wouldn’t stop me.
Seemed pretty well organised TBH.
Made me want to buy an X5 though
