I think I mentioned a fortnight ago, a tenant managed to get himself from here to the States without a valid passport, meaning I spent my Saturday finding a key so his sister could get into the flat and FedEx his passport to him. On my return journey, my phone went, and I pulled over thinking it was the sister who had a problem. And therein lies the problem. I hadn't realised I stopped in an empty bus lane. As evidenced below.
It's cost me £60 (reduced from £120 for good behaviour), so I need to find a £60 treat. And convince myself that in future I should do anyone any favours. At all.
Is that really you in the picture?
ReplyDeleteHow brilliant that you have a record of you breaking the law! That should be on everyone's 'things to do before I'm 50' list.
So next time you should answer your phone whilst still moving, whilst increasing the chances of getting killed (helmet in one hand and phone in other!) you stand less chance of getting caught!
ReplyDeleteWhy not take the boy to see a band? (I merely suggest this becuase it's what I feel like doing at the moment!)
This is more in reference to your last post, but as I left work today (medical research/University district with lots of motor and non-motor cycling) I saw/heard a bike go crashing down in the bicycle lane about 20m from me. There was no one around him, but it had just started raining after 21 days of sun, and I think he hydroplaned.
ReplyDeleteVery scary - thought I was going to have to do some first aid until the paramedics came (luckily we are about 100 m from a serious hospital), but he got up, shook himself off and was inspecting his bike when I left. Glad to hear you were similarly unharmed.
You know how much it's killing me not to make a smart arse comment don't you ?
ReplyDeleteBut I have refrained, go me
Without knowing you very well, this is a difficult one. I think you like live bands, eating out and watching films. Why not spend the money on one (or all of these??)
ReplyDeleteNow fancy breaking the rules of the road. Shame on you! Send me the £60 quid I'll be a very happy grateful woman. Share the gift of joy ;-) TFx
ReplyDeleteI shouldn't give up your career as part-time Good Samaritan just because you've incurred a minor traffic violation...
ReplyDeleteBlow the £60 on a shared activity with the boy. That way you can thank him for being your brolly-bearing Good Samaritan - and thereby kill 2 birds with 1 stone!
Tara...the mere mention of 50 sets me aquiver
ReplyDeleteKellogsville - I like that idea...will try texting on the move too
Sonya - thank you...the rain is indeed a pain
AG - smart arse for not making smart arse comment
Rosiero - all seem like a great idea
TF...I'm tempted, really tempted
Robert - good idea
A bottle of really nice burgundy, I'd say. Or maybe a really topnotch steak from the nearest butcher to sell locally-grown, grass-fed rare-breeds beef (eg little dexter or hereford - god, my mouth's watering at the thought!) and slightly less on the burgundy.
