I want to break free
up the m forty
I do hope the a43, at silvestone, is not jammed
oh how I want to break free
I want to break free
God knows why the inside lane is empty

I'm falling behind
and not for the first time the m42 has stopped
the hard shoulder's a lane, it's starting to rain and the fuel light is on
God knows how I'm falling behind
I want to break free


I've hit the M6
I took the toll road but now I've hit the jam
and I can only look at Birmingham
God knows, this place is grim and ugly
oh how I want to break free!

Dont stop me now dont stop me
cause Im having a good time having a good time

Im a shooting star leaping through the sky
Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity
Im a racing car passing by like lady godiva
Im gonna go go go
Theres no stopping me

Im burning through the sky yeah!
Two hundred degrees
Thats why they call me mister fahrenheit
Im travling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man out of me

What industry do you specialise in? Can't be banking

Funny you should say that actually...

Fancy outsourcing a bit to me?

That's the sort of work you should live for as a contractor! Seat of the pants, down to the wire, Top-Gun-style high fiving thrills! Not this living death of watching the clock.

Been there done that, give me a clock to watch any time !

[chef]

Dunno about the rest, M56 is awful!

Luckily I'm just 15 mins from home, missus and excited kids!

the m56 is the easiest bit, M6 around brum airport just before the toll road is the worst, although the a34 / m40 around oxford is never great either

[Fran]

no no no.. just 2.5hrs

and i'll be on the M4, A34, M40, M42, M6 and M56

Me too! 4.5 hours now and I leave the boring legacy language, do nothing jobs and manic work auditing for just over a week.

Then maybe get a new contract in the January rush!

Shut up ! I'm involved with a Jan 2nd go live, no time off except public hols, they have been a bit hazy but I think they are expecting us to work the weekend between Xmas and NY ! It is going to be a nightmare and should be postponed but they are doing a hands over the ears job. Heavy snow or a fuel strike looks like my only possible salvation !
