One New Year's Eve we hit the jackpot because there were some roadworks with a massive collection of traffic cones and signs.
We set up a contraflow.
8 o'clock the next morning my mate knocked on the front door and we went and put everything back to where it should be.
Confession time, huh?
About 25 years ago, a group of young gentlemen closed the A10 just inside the M25, London-bound, in the early hours of Monday morning.
When I heard the traffic reports on LBC at about 09:30 saying the Police were re-opening it because no-one knew why it was closed, recollection came to me...
Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.
A Queensland Radio Station, QFM, were running a competition
to find contestants who could come up with words that were not
found in any English Dictionary yet could still use these words
in a sentence that would make logical sense, the prize being a
return trip for two to Bali for a week. The DJ, Sam, had many
callers, the following two standing out :
DJ: QFM, what's your name?
Caller: Hi me name's Dave.
DJ: Dave, what is your word?
Caller: Gaan spelt G A A N
DJ: We are just checking that (pause) and you are correct,
Dave, Gaan is certainly a word not found in the English
Dictionary. Now the next question, for a trip for two to
Bali, is, what sentence can you use that in that would
make logical sense?
Caller: Gaan **** yourself!
At this point the DJ cuts the caller short and announces that
there is no place for that sort of language on a family show.
After many more unsuccessful calls the DJ takes the following
caller:
DJ: QFM, what's your name?
Caller: Hi me name's Jeff.
DJ: Jeff, what is your word?
Caller: Smee spelt S M E E
DJ: We are just checking that (pause) and you are correct,
Jeff, Smee is certainly a word not found in the English
Dictionary. Now the next question, for a trip for two to
Bali, is, what sentence can you use that in that would
make logical sense?
