I noticed whilst on the motorway two things, one regarding lane control and the other regarding mobile 'phones.

People's lane control is far worse than it used to be.

You didn't used to get people drinking from Red Bull cans or paper coffee cups while driving. And fiddling with the SatNav is more distracting than tuning the old two-knob radio.

I also blame people texting while driving.

Despite lanes being wider than they used to be, people drift across the lanes quite frequently, and it is very worrying.

I notice mobile 'phone use on the motorways has gone down. More drivers have those Lieutenant Uhura style ear dongles, which is a good thing.

But there are still a scarily high proportion of drivers texting at 60 mph+. And typically cruising in the middle lane as they do so.

But even more worrying is the number of HGV drivers on the mobile 'phone. With these things costing over £50k, I would have thought a £10 hands-free kit would have been a worthwhile investment.

Osteopath again today.

Hmm. Does he/she walk like a duck?

More beer methinks.

Youthinks right. Muscle relaxant.

I've told Mr N he's prepping dinner.

Unfortunately for him that does not mean picking up the phone and ordering summat.

Meanie!

Better get back and see if he's finished cleaning the mussels

Absolutely. There's nothing a man likes more when ordered to cook than being supervised.

You need a certain critical mass of contributors, each providing ideas to spark off new conversations.

And when I say "critical" I don't mean like they do in General.

Although "critical mass" might be a good name for that lot in General.

Listening to The Shuttleworths is similar to reading TPD.

And both are very much a minority sport, too.

John Shuttleworth also has serious issues in his life.

Nah, I get him to do the commis chef bit and then I cook, he doesn't mind. At least I do the cheffy bits for him

Still training him, eh?
