Friday 13th

Contraflow:

si-d:
trying to work out if you’re more annoyed at standing in another persons faeces… or that they stole your spot :smiley:

I’d never [zb] that close to the kerb. I always go deeper into the flora.

Perhaps it was raining and windy so the culprit decided to take his dump out of the window and couldn’t reach any further than the kerb?

Contraflow:
Probably foreign or agency.

don’t worry about it i have no doubt there will be an expert in sh*te along shortly to confirm…

Conor:
Agency don’t park in laybys because we get our parking paid by the agency.

Your prediction was correct, Scrotumscratcher. :laughing:

Contraflow:
I’ve just stood in a pile of [zb] in the grass at the side of a layby on the A1. Middle of nowhere and used toilet paper nearby. Safe to say it’s human. Probably foreign or agency. FML

Good luck out there today.

I bet it was a tesco driver #WH05HAT…!!!

Stood on a nail from a broken pallet in the morning, don’t know whether the soles of boots are reinforced or not but thankfully didn’t impale my foot on it, had to yank it out the shoe though. After that had a drivers forum with the MD of the company, what could go wrong? :open_mouth: Thankfully, nothing did.

I got a Scania today :smiling_imp:

load of old bxxxxxxs Friday 13th, too many suspicious people about

Watch out for that Black cat ! :grimacing:

thought they were supposed to be lucky or am I wrong

I got the pleasure of filling in an Incident Report with Highways Agency’s and creating chaos on M57/M62 eastbound this afternoon - Ooops. If you got caught up in it - Soz!

And the ‘wotsit’ has just hit the fan in France.

Armagedon:

Just seen this on the news. It’s becoming one sick world that we are living in.[emoji22]

…too many suspicious people about

Yes there is, especially on here.

I think you mean superstitious though.

I say suspicious as well - because I can (and I know the difference) :wink: Touching wood, to break a mirror will bring you seven years bad luck, saluting magpies, step on a crack break your mother’s back, to open an umbrella in the house is to bring bad luck, to find a horseshoe brings good luck :unamused:
etc etc

Utter garbage :unamused: In some/most cases any accident/misfortune/human error blamed on the Friday 13th is a self fulfilled prophecy!!

You got that right :cry: :cry:

■■■■■■ up my wheel at strensham the other day and the wind blew it back up me leg. Karma I suppose.

Tris:
Drove back from Bristol, decided to take the A46 as I wrongly thought there’d be a snack van. Saw a couple just after the M5 but I’d still got 2 hours driving so pressed on expecting so see another - wrong - so continued to try and get to the Shell Garage on the A14 (where the McDonald’s is on the A14 just before Kettering) to get a subway. Parked up on the double yellows on the slip outside and put it on break on 4hrs 25mins. Then see a bloke in a high vis coat with a clipboard. Thinks to myself here we go he’s gonna want me to move, typical for Friday 13th. He asked me why I’d stopped. I told him I was empty and a strong cross wind had just given me a scare so I pulled over. Turned out he was doing a survey as they are considering constructing a Lorry park at the site so said it’d be a good place for one as there’s nowhere you can park up and go to the toilet and get food for miles if you take to route I was on.

There’s a great buttie Karbab van just off j9 go to where the pub is left at lights 1st every better one there at night

I stupidly agreed to go to London for the first time in ages. It was the usual tale of collapsed manhole covers, motorcyclist on wrong side of Camden Road went into a car, a truck broke down in the Blackwall tunnel, another at Hangar lane (together with a tree down over the road). Still, not too bad. Break at Heston then 2.5 hours back to do 105 miles back to Bristol. No way. The relief at being on the M4 and out of that mess was unfortunately ruined by traffic backing onto the motorway at most junctions. Is it that bad nowadays? Still, could be a worse Friday 13th.

you could have been on M6 instead :imp:

Well I had a surprisingly good night,

Usual fight to get into London, along A13,
Picked up truck, left on time, unusually clear run around the 406, loaded at Enfield, onto Amersham for 2nd collection,
Up the M40, nothing on it, clear 423 to Ryton,
For once - trailer ready, Banged on set off down the M1,
several junctions had matrix saying Queue after Junction - Nothing,
Got back to London, all the lights turned green as I approached - mind you, it was the 14th by now,

But got done in record time !!

Friday the 13th - what a load of tosh - Bring it on !!
