    I nearly put a car in the Grand Union canal at the Fisheries Inn in Harefield
    It was a very steep hill and a sharp right hand turn into the hump back bridge, just like a scene from the Dukes of Hazard

    Jesus Christ lads.

    The only, minor compared, thing I can rememer is that my old man bought a car to sell off straight away and it was written off beyond repair on the majic roundabout in Hemmel. He wasn´t impressed. I was too yound to remember why, but I remember him holding me saying that nada mas amttered as I was ok.

    I no doubt the muppet (dad) was speeding.

    On a recent trip to Sainsburys, on an otherwise empty road was an unattended HGV trailer with its ramps down... It took every bit of maturity I had (and I had to scrape around to find some, believe me) to avoid a mid-air YYEEEE-HHAAAAAA moment. :(

    I prefer the local explanation - that it's an alien refueling ship.

    I have to disagree with the quoted expert though - he claims it can be seen very rarely in the UK, but it's a very common sight up here. I'll have to fire up an old laptop - am sure I have a video of it happening.

    This popped up in Twitter - giving a different explanation, one which I think is accurate. When I've seen them up here, they're closer to shore and it's quite obvious what's going on.

    My daughter in England had everything booked up last Spring to visit the tulip fields in Holland. She is still waiting to go!

    Beautiful animals, but can be a proper pain in the arse. Rather like my children.
