Trick or Treat ??
October 31, 2006, 9:17 pmI’ll go for “trick”!
The front gates have been chained and padlocked shut… I’d like to see the kiddywinks get to the front door.

Suicidal Horses!
October 30, 2006, 8:15 pmI could sooo easily turn this into a motorway travel blog… but I won’t. However just for today in a girlonatrain stylee…
8.55, 55 minutes late. M56 closed due to horses exploring the carriageway between J7 & J6.
I really wish farmers would invest in some damn fencing. A month or so ago it was sheep roaming around the carriageway between M56 J7 & J8. Must remember not to divert through Sale again - now that was a mistake… Should have taken that B-road from Lymm to Carrington.

Tumbleweed
October 27, 2006, 4:42 pm…and in marked contrast to yesterday’s travel chaos, this was Wellington Road South (the A6) in Stockport during the middle of rush hour this morning. I still don’t understand where everyone was - schools are off next week in Stockport so it can’t be that…

Nil-by-car
October 26, 2006, 6:54 pmThe world is gridlocked! I’m not impressed by the level of transportation problems this evening. The queues from an accident between M62 J9 & J8 started at the M56 J3 at Wythenshawe :S Guess where I was going?? The M6, M56, M62 & more generally, Warrington is completely gridlocked so i’ve abandoned my car somewhere in the town centre and walked home.

Kings Valley, Stockport
October 25, 2006, 10:13 pm
The actual name for this area is Kings Valley, but everyone knows it as the Stockport Pyramid. The photo is from Hollywood Park looking north and there’s also a link to a photo of the structure part way through construction.

Dave & Manda’s Wedding Photo links
October 25, 2006, 7:21 pm
Well there you go, my abridged photo selection! I don’t seem to take many photo’s at weddings - probably due to the fact everyone with a camera is going to take the same photo’s anyway. So therefore here’s the links to everone elses. Skippy was first to upload some of his (apparently there will be more), Ian, Tim & Stu have all followed suit. Time to badger Pete to put his online!…

It’s Brown and Granular…
October 24, 2006, 6:19 pmToday’s most interesting phone call at work was from some bloke who rang up and asked “What do you know about the soil in Cheadle?” My answer…“Absolutely nothing, we only do bridges here.” People, developers, who feel the need to ring up a random number on the website asking stupid questions should expect such terse responses. Simply repeating the question several times before uttering the comment “Well you’re clearly not an engineer…” doesn’t make me particularly interested in helping the caller at all. So I didn’t - he got a polite “sod off” and I put the phone down. Had I been an engineer (which is actually what I am) and he had been polite, then I would have told him to go to the main library and request the geological records for the borough. As according to him i’m evidently not… I, of course wouldn’t know about such technical details so couldn’t suggest such a thing.
