Started at 5am, finished by 13:30. Fish n chips for tea, Gormans of course, tried a bit of red nose stuff but as I hate ■■■■■ McCall & Winkleman with a passion, they are living proof you need zero talent to be on TV, I read a bit & watched gogglebox.
Have to agree with you about McCall but there is just something about Claudia that you know you would
It may be a form of ■■■■■■ gratification for some but every time I see her I just want to slap her stupid face.
As for jump leads, as Mazzer mentioned. Don’t be silly, a proper Professional like Conor would never lower himself to jumpstarting a vehicle. And anyone who does is a ■■■■■■■ ■■■■ who’s ■■■■■■■ it up for the rest of us ■■■■■■■.
Conor:
Being phoned up by the traffic office as I approach London informing me the shunter has told them I’ve left my car lights on. Solved the problem though, phoned the wife, got her to do a 60 mile round trip with the spare key to turn them off so I didn’t come back to a flat battery at 3am.
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer person
Slightly amazed that Britains most highly regarded & professional truck driver could make such a rookie mistake tho…
+1…what goes round…titter titter,snuffle snuffle,arf arf,wafflewaffle, bit risky leaving an empty house at night with the junkies living next door though.

Seriously I do hope your kidding, and I’m sure you are.
Why not just accept the problem and deal with it when back, blimey you could even buy a set of jump leads for the fuel cost in the round trip or even borrow a set. Pro driver initiative surely.
Fair do’s though and hats off to you if you have managed to marry that rare breed of woman who will help her man out regardless of any alternative common sense solution.
I would rather walk 30miles home than face the cold arse treatment Er in Doors would give me for weeks if I even asked her to do this.
Working. As much as I hate doing it, backshift Thursday, friday then dayshift Sunday, Monday Tuesday with barely a weekly rest. Last week it was 48 hours, this week 46 hours. Cant complain since I am just back from 7 weeks off and should be back of the queue instead of the front

Drug dealer, not junkie. That makes my house and the one at the other side of them the least likely to get burgled in a town that has the lowest rate of burglaries in the UK.

She offered. I did do the maths and worked out the battery would probaby be OK as its a diesel with a chunky battery and only 6 bulbs drawing maybe 40W at most being run but she said she didn’t want me getting back at 3am and having to sort it out if it wasn’t. TBH I think she was bored and wanted an excuse to go out, not that she needs one, as she said my youngest would enjoy a ride out.
I have a set of jump leads, just not in the car. Not needed to jump my car off for years.
