Police, sirens, big crash!

After an exciting morning spent sorting out all of our e-waste for recycling* and delivering it to the depot, I decided to have a quick nap. Which was interrupted by a siren. Not unusual, this is the inner city, after all. Then another siren. Then quite a few. Then an almighty crash.[Poll #1453860][Poll #1453860]

and on an even more unrelated note...

*snip* He smacked into an innocent ute (Australian vehicle that has a sedan body and a tray-table back, mostly used by tradesmen and farmers), *snip* or overgrown city boys with small dicks who like to over compensate. :P

As for your holiday question I have no opinions but I do have a very important question. Do you have enough room in your port for me to stow away in?

LMFAO that is so true! the Gym junkies who wear suits during the day and drive shiny hard top utes just to have somewhere to stow their gym gear!

Ahahahaha! This one seemed to be a genuine tradie, so we'll leave him in his role as poor victim and hope that all repairs are done quickly and with no loss of income to him.

And alas, no, I have to pick up several kilograms of books I left with Pingrid in Oslo. But when I am a multimillionaire one day, I will organise a little fandom tour.

Genuine tradie? So had a ute with more than 12inches ground clearance?
Do NOT understand those ones - what good is a ute if it's sparkly cherry red and can't clear a single rock in a paddock? You'd never be able to drop hay bales off to feed the sheep up with one of those!

White Toyota with factory specs, tools and ladder in the back and logo and mobile number on the side. It did the heart good to see him.

And yes, I agree. Meesh's sister had a hotted-up ute, despite being an actual vet, she used to mock herself for it, and was cool enough to get away with it.
