A couple of rants here which need to be got out of my system. Firstly about the pillock in a yellow (bronze?) Honda with the registration number Y106 BKJ who blocked me in last night.



Mine is the little red clio in the middle. The gap between the enormous Ford and the Honda was not enough for me to get out. I was stuck there for ages and I was supposed to be going out. Thank goodness I didn't have to be somewhere at a set time.

Grr! So angry!

The other victim(s) of my wrath are the parents of Blean Primary School children. You would think that the little darlings cannot walk given the proximity to the school the parents feel they have to park. The ones that park at the Sports Ground car park are bad enough, and the ones that park at Nickle Court are even worse (this is the closest PW court to the school) but the ones that feel they have to drive right up to the Crab and Winkle way and the gates of the now closed old car park? Sickening.

Even worse are the ones on the Whitstable Road causing traffic to go single file at dropping off and picking up time (thus causing a major problem on those occasions I have seen an ambulance, police car or fire engine trying to get past). The bigger problem of this is that often the parents and children are crossing the road from behind cars, actually...no, not cars. Giant 4x4s. This may be safe for the poor ikkle children who cannot walk more than 50yards from the entrance of their school but for those of us who have to cross it makes it much more dangerous. The two times a day I have to cross that road with Becky and Paul are terrifying.

Those parents who feel the need to park so close piss me off so much.

GRRR!

This weekend was Ben Tanner's stag night so my ben went up to London for it. This gave me the excuse to go home for an afternoon/evening and mum and I had a nice time, and I managed to get phil a working, uptodate kernel sorted (ben fixed the remaining broken bits in the morning). This means Phil now has something better than a 2.2.* that works :) Today ben and I had a lazy morning and came back to canterbury via Folkestone and the best ice cream shop in the world ever! :D On the way back we stopped at The Jackdaw in Denton (just outside Hawkinge), a pub featured in The Battle of Britain (an excellent war film with a great soundtrack and dog fight scenes). This led to two things. 1) an excellent lunch/tea thing, with wonderful desserts :D I reccommend this to anyone with a car :D 2) us humming the battle of britain march (the theme to the movie) all afternoon and evening :)

A really really nice weekend :)

P.S. We're in full stealth mode here at franklyn road to avoid trick and treaters. It's working so far, just hope the little buggers angels haven't egged my car...
