i know im a bit controversial and offend just about everyone there is to offend, including myself (im a big eared ****, a propa wingnut), sorry, i just like it, it makes me laugh,
i really do like nottingham (read my earlier posts on the leicester thread) and sorry to the nottingham guys i went personal on, i was having a laugh, sorry for any hurt feelins and all that,
now, its upto the two bigger citys (or brothers) to look after the smaller one, (im talking about nottingham and leicetrer as the bigger citys and derby as the smaller one) if we can all big up each others citys we could thrive.
dont mean to belittle you derby people, you got a great city so lets not bicker and work together, we could be better than great.
I am sure our Nottingham cousins aren't really offended, words can't hurt after all. I remember reading some of your earlier posts where you said you are of Oirish decent, so am I. Me Da is from Leitrim and me Ma is from Cavan, what about yer good self. Nottingham also has a thriving Irish community, not sure about Derby, come on Derby lets here from you guys!!!!
my dads side - my grandad was from sligo and my grand ma was from ros common, they lived on the borders of there county and just a few hundred feet apart, so im told,
my mums side - my grandad was adopted from ireland by an english couple and have no idea from which part of ireland he was from and dont have a clue about my mums mum, i think shes english, im not sure. confusing.
anyway leicester city, new owner, new manager, new team, same old shit.
I was in the cop in G1/G2 cant tell which bit...I couldn't stop laughing for the whole second half. 11 comedians with blue shirts on. best money I spent in a while!
Well I've possibly had one of the shittest nights ever. Firstly I crashed my car whilst apporaching an island, I anticipated the car in front was going to move as there wasn't a car around but it just stayed there so I skiided over the bank thing and into the middle of the island.
I then got pulled over in Clifton by an undercover police car because I was sat waiting for someone (they thought I was buying drugs). I've drawn a diagram on google earth to show you what the crash was like. Ths is an old image and the skid resistant tarmac has since been removed and the grass area made bigger with higher curbs and thicker plants etc. I wasn't even going fast the road was just really greasy and my wheels just locked up. ABS my arse.
Balls to your car, just glad you're alright. Simple mistakes can have far reaching consequences, so I'm glad you're alright.
I had a "moment" a while ago on a roundabout. I approached it, and nothing wac coming so I went on the roundabout (actually a junction with the A46), and when I turned the wheel to straighten, the car kept turning. I turned some more, and the car then found some grip and swung the other way, so I ended up "fishtailing" along the road whilst losing speed.
When i finally stopped and got out, I saw I had a puncture, which I must have picked up just before. It really, really scared me.
I was alright just abit shaken up. Im not sure about the car it still runs but the bottom of it is covered in grass and I heard a massive bang as I went over the lane divider thing.
i was on the motorway yesterday wiv a mate (he was driving) coming back from brighton, we was behind a lorry approaching a slip road wen at the very last second the lorry changed his mind and decided to swerve to stay on the motorway, he avoiveded the v bit that seperates the slip road and motorway by millimeteres (literally, a milisecond later we wud all have been killed, including the lorry driver), our van got covered in rubble and mud from the lorrys tyres where it had chucked up stuff from the dge of the v bit of road
we was lucky to survive really, but i was a bit pissed off i didnt get to see the lorry sliced in half by the barrier on the v, that would have been great
Stef im glad you are ok..cant go loosing you..lol! I hate that junction sometimes as well.
There was a really bad crash on the Derby road last monday, and I really dont understand how it happened. It looked as though this fairly old lady had pulled out of the QMC onto Derby Road and must have hit something going really fast as the car had been flipped and she was having to be cut out, the road was a real mess. She seemed ok, still talking and stuff, was horrible as it was right there as we were going past. Hopefully shes recovered now.
