It's so damn cold...
In fact, my car iced over whilst driving it this morning with the heaters on. I have to pull over quick & pray there wasn't a parked car in my way.
Happy Holidays & Happy New Year! A bit late I know but then again, better late than never eh?
Yesterday, yes, New Years Day, I got pulled over by a copper for apparently pulling out in front of a car. It didn't matter that the car I 'pulled out in front of' was approx 5 football field lengths away from me, he still pulled me & proceeded to tell me what was wrong with my car...
Him: 'You have no brake lights madam'.
Me: 'Yes I do, I can see them lighting up on your car you're parked so far up my ass!'
Apparently that's a bad thing being cheeky to the police.
Him: 'I'm going to issue you with a vehicle defect form. You have to immediately get your car repaired by a registered MOT Testing Station & get this form stamped & post it to this address on the back. Do I make myself clear Mrs. M?'
Me: 'Duh, it's New Years Day, Pray tell where I'm supposed to get this done on New Years Day??'
Him: 'Not my problem Mrs. Mead'.
The police, very helpful.
In fact, when I went to hand it in at my local police station after dragging my friend away from his family meal to fixed my car & stamp said form, the nice lady behind the counter told me she couldn't accept it & that it had to be posted and gave me an envelope for my trouble.
Thanks, I'm soooo pleased.
I then went to work in the pub, where I'm not in the managements good books, & played gin rummy with the other member of bar staff for most of the night. No customers is an understatement, I must have served no more than 11 people in 6 hours. I do not think we will be getting double time this New Years Day.
Fabulous start to 2009 don't you think?

Cops suck. They're never there when you need them and they're ALWAYS there when you don't. Thanks for stopping by for a spork award. Don't forget to pick it up on Monday! Have an acceptance speech ready. ;)
