drove 85 completly unnecesary miles today
« on: February 02, 2009, 21:04:30 »
after finishing work today i drove 85 miles over snowy country roadds, including greenlanes and 3 fords (in the dark) - one of which is fifty feet long and came over the bonnet :dance:  didnt even need to drive a single mile as work was just round the corner, was a little bit annoyed as the first bloke my dad towed since i passed my driving test gave him £20- all the people ive towed/ pushed and iv only been given a single fiver :)

Ask them how much it is worth first mate!

I don't mind stopping to help someone who is stuck on my way somewhere, but if it takes me out of my way to tow them where they want to go, then I tend not to, as "Oh, its just around the corner" tends to turn into a very long corner indeed!
