Accident statistic
Thursday, December 20, 2007
Some cretin knocked me off my bike on the way home tonight. Not just didn't give me enough room and cause me to fall off, I mean actually knocked me down. And didn't even stop. Luckily the double-decker bus behind me managed to not squash me.
When I cycle I'm lit up like a Christmas tree on well-lit streets yet this absolute muppet managed to knock me off. Still, a nice policeman is contacting them to ask them why they failed to stop at a road traffic collision. I was lucky enough to have several witnesses and get the number plate and thankfully just be a bit shaken up and covered in muck.

You know it's going to be a bad day when...
Thursday, December 06, 2007
...you accidentally wake your girlfriend up way too early when she's having a well-deserved lie-in
...and the first thing you do when you leave the house is take three steps and tread in a massive pile of dog shit.

Sausage roll anyone?
Tuesday, December 04, 2007
I've just done some Christmas shopping. It was traumatic. I then needed my lunch. However, having given away my lunch to the Salvation Army in exchange for my work Christmas party ticket, I had no food. I decided a Gregg's sandwich was the way forward.
I went to the Greggs by the side of the markets (Exchange Street) as the queues are usually less than the one on Angel Street. Not today - the queue was very long. Once at the front, I chose a sandwich and for good measure asked for a sausage roll. No sausage rolls were ready. The lady said it would be a few minutes. I recalled a sign in the Angel Street branch that says that if no sausage rolls are ready when you ask for them, you get one free next visit. I queried this and was met with "we don't do that". So here's the question, is anyone else aware of this policy? Has anyone actually got a free sausage on their next visit? Let me know.
Obviously, I've already fired off a query to Greggs head office for the official standpoint on this policy.
Edit: My bad, apparently. Margaret has emailed me back from Greggs head office (full points for quick response from them) to advise that the 'free on next visit' policy was a limited time only promotion. And to ensure I haven't been put off Greggs, she's going to send me some nice vouchers. Result.

Nose Update
Monday, December 03, 2007
I went to see the medicine man this morning. He confirms my diagnosis that my nose is in fact broken. I now have to wait 16-20 weeks for an operation.
