My Aunt and Uncle live there, so I texted my Aunt this morning to see if they were OK

She said everyone was fine and that she was in the UK but flying to Nice today

I thought she would have issues after something like this

Apparently it was a suspicious package, but everyone evacuated now, and there's been no further report so would hope to expect everyone is safe.

Mobile phones are sometimes remotely blocked when there is a suspect package as they have been used as detonators in the past.

Springsten's Bobby Jean reminds me of my friend C. I'd come back from the pub on Dec 30th and there was a note to call my friend T. So, even though it was late, I gave him a call. He told me that C was dead and had hanged herself. The next day, I went surfing and just sat out back for 2 hours, caught one wave, rode it all the way in and that was that. I've never looked up any reports or anything, as that'd remove the faint hope that it'd all been a mix up and she's somewhere doing something.

So, spent about 1200 quid keeping the volvo on the road in the last two weeks. Today on the way home, it started playing up - some dodgy noises from the engine, then it stalled, was hard to restart. Then, on the big slope down into the valley, it kept dying (revs just dropped off constantly and stalled the engine), which meant the electrics went out, which meant the steering went. That was an interesting few hundred meters. Thankfully, there is a very good garage at the bottom of the hill, so the chap there had a look for me despite being closing time. Turns out, for some unknown reason, the coolant had boiled, blown a clip off one of the hoses, and emptied the entire system. 20 minutes and a few gallons of water and a new clip later, car was (and still is) fine. Fucking bonkers. Must have been the weather or something.

Once you've cooked a car enough for it to pack up, it doesn't tend to fully recover.

It might be time to start looking around.

No wrap? That's not a burrito, then. It's just meat, beans, salad snd cheese in a box. That has no right to call itself a burrito, naked or otherwise.

Worst. Lunch. Ever.

Just found out that a club I used to be involved in has been ripped of to the tune of several grand by the treasurer. They owe a couple of grand in rent to the hall they used and all the various insurance etc has gone unpaid. Everyone's a bit shellshocked and are trying to work out what happens next. It's odd, as it seems it started happening almost exactly at the time I moved and stopped attending.

Cripes.

An organisation I'm involved with suffered that fate shortly before I joined - thankfully someone realised that their insurance included a part about a committee member with their fingers in the till so were able to recoup most of the losses.

Just shows that everyone, not just the committee members, ought to pay attention to Treasurers' reports and insist on good record-keeping.

You should stand up or wave or something. Just waiting there until they see you could take hours.

Is that the perspective or are your fingers actually that dumpy irl?

Also, that looks painful :( Hope it just needs strapping up and it's not going to be too much of a hindrance.

I have delicate hands that have never done a day's work in my life, so must be the perspective.

Just been told they're going to splint it, which is what the nurse should have done at the walk-in centre after my X-ray. Wasting A&E resources ftw!

If it gets strapped up, ask for the really cool waterproof velcro-attached strapping that you can take off to wash your hand and then put back on. When I broke my little finger, I spent a week with crappy tape-based stuff that meant couldn't easily shower and it sucked.

Yes, but cyclists are doping fucks - I'm sure they were high as kites at the time. I've just got ibuprofen.

And it's a bit difficult holding a bat and throwing a ball when you can't bend one of your fingers.
