Ok, so I have mentioned my computer is knackered and won't load Windows. So this is an obstruction to my updates and I can't get to any of my computer files
also things Being moved/gone missing in the house, like the battery cover for the remote mouse dissapeared in the night, and the case for the LG being moved.
Anyway... I am managing to get by with my mobile and borrowing a laptop. The LG magically will charge from this laptop only?! Crazy huh.
So... I have loads of incorrect size terminal signs and wrong repeaters all over Shropshire today, but its too much to update from the mobile, and this isn't my laptop.
Anyway.. this thread is Catch of the day.. or better..
"Catch of the Campaign" !
That is because after I had been to Craven Arms, Shropshire... This afternoon.. I was heading on the A49 back up to Shrewsbury.. and I decided what are the odds on passing the speed camera van, as I know one used to park around Dorrington in a pub car park..
So I decided to make a bet on en encounter with a West Mercia safety camera van....
I know I sound stuipd... Lol, but here's the wager... On the way up the A49 just after leaving Craven Arms (which had odd sized terminal signs and missing traffic light sign only 200yds from the solicitors!
Anyway, I don't have time to post everything..
Here's my super dumb sounding crap microphone voice wager. Shame I wasn't at paddy power to put some dollar on it.
After the wager, I pass through Dorrington and he is not parked in the pub carpark!
....but... I get to the Shrewsbury ring road a few minutes later, and decide to turn left, and go back Oswestry way/Wrexham bypass, and I am only on the Shrewsbury ring road for a minute... When....
THE CAMERA VAN DRIVES PAST GOING THE OTHER WAY! I didn't see the driver! Could it be the same guy I interviewed a couple months ago?!
I don't have much time as I am late ad it is
But I decide to try catch up with him, see where he is going! So I turn around at the next roundabout! And go max speed (dual carriageway) I don't catch up with him! I get back to the previous A49 roundabout by DOBBIES garden centre! And have no idea which way he went! So I make a guess! I decide to go straight on! And I think that is it, its all over, I have lost him... But I get to the next roundabout and there he is! He goes off right toward Wroxeter! There are two cars between us! But it becomes apparent he is loosing these guys in front of me and easily in excess of 55mph +
I manage to catch him going well into the threshold speed and floating around the top end of it! So he is driving same speeds as I was on the Haslingden and Ossett bypass 50mph dual carriageways, but on this occasion its just a country lane 50mph limit for a van!
Just as I say he is floating around the threshold limit the memory card on my phone goes full and stops recording! I try again but it only gets a few more seconds.
I then turn back and head for home via the M6. Did the police plant him there? A set up? What WERE the odds? I don't get back till after 6 because of all the roadworks and speed limits.
Getting sick of being jinxed by these people whoever are making Me ill, messing with my computers and phones and pets life
And driving licence and now branded me a criminal when they drive exactly the same as other vans, and use lasers to nudge the thresholds up.
I am NOT buying another computer until they make them like a console Atari with unhackable uncrashable Windows cartridges, and all your stuff just on a hard drive with the programs.
Short video forced retry after memory card full.
