Someone, somewhere hates us
Early Friday morning (about 01:55) our car alarm went off. I went down stairs and found that the windscreen had three holes in it. I deactivated the alarm and went and phoned the police and gave them all the details. Got up in the morning and got a new windscreen booked for today. Also booked […]
Oh No. Not again!
Those were the thoughts of the bowl of petunias in The HitchHikers Guide to Galaxy when it suddenly came into existance miles above Magrathea. Oh No. Not Again was what my wife and I said when we came out of the house this morning to find that someone had vandalised the 93. Not the windscreen […]
A good time was had by all
Despite the weather (which actually was remarkably good) we had an excellent time at the 3rd Annual Cheltenham Beer Festival which was raising money for the Cheltenham Branch of The Samaritans. Last years event raised £6000 which is pretty impressive and helps keep The Samaritans running providing a service that really does help save peoples […]
Life, and stuff
Well this weekend is the Friends of Cheltenham Samaritans beer festival. This is their third annual beer festival and if the other two were anything to go by then this too will be a great day out and with a very worthy cause. I’ve never needed the Samaritans myself because I’ve had people I’ve been […]
Its that time of year again..
… when the roads are gridlocked, the pubs and restaurants are full to over flowing and you can’t actually enjoy living in town. Yes that’s right – its The Cheltenham Festival. When the world and his dog descends on the town, drinks too much Guinness and then throws up or pisses in the street. So […]

Kerboom???
There are some very interesting markings on the road outside our house. Two nice long skid marks which start in the middle of the road, drift slowly over to one side and end at the back end of another vehicle which is a bit mashed. Now our road is quite narrow, its wide enough for […]
Differing levels of Vandalism
A week after I phoned to police to tell them that our 95 had been vandalised I get a letter through the post from Gloucesteshire Police. Its depressing reading – says so much about what our police force has become: ———— Offence : Criminal Damage to property valued under £5000 – vehicle Date Reported : […]
Why Do People…
vandalise other peoples property? Heading out today after the frost had cleared I noticed that the windscreen on my Saab 95 Estate has been smashed. It was OK when I parked it at 6:20 on Friday evening but I didn’t use it over the weekend and the weather was so bad I didn’t notice it […]
