martinmac Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 This is the one day I get to drive my car. Been for a wrestling match with the Chiropractor again. So, I sit in the car and gently drive over the mini speed bumps and set off. After about 2 miles I hit a dead badger and nearly managed to stop. Popped the screw on the front spoiler A mile further down the road, coming out of a 60 limit into a 30. As I go round the corner theres a camera van Oops Park up in town and as its supposed to be my last visit I am in there for just over an hour. Get back to the car and I have a parking ticker Distance covered 8 miles. Rather expensive running costs Quote
M13KYF Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 jebus, a run of bad luck there Martin. Stick to the water, its seems cheaper for you Quote
MrLizard Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 good god man, take the bus next time and pretend its a zed with chavs in it... Quote
PhilTheForce Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Could be worse, could be the Badger... Quote
rtbiscuit Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 bad tings normally come in threes, so you should be clear. but remember if something else happens, then your most likely to have another 5 bad things, as it then becomes 3 sets of 3. hopefully your over the worst of the murphies law syndrome.

Pagnobito Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Probably could not have avoided the badger without causing an accident, but I feel you could have avoided the next two items on the list? sometimes bad luck you make for yourself. Good luck with the back, or whatever it is you needed treatment for, I know and have suffered for more than 10 years. Quote
xStric9x Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Bad luck bud but you could show the police how much you help the public by showing them the super Martin vid Quote
nixy Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 So the badger didn't exactly leap out at you unexpectedly then! Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Bad day Martin. At least your incident with the badger didn't amount to £1400 as mine did when I encountered one last year. Quote
martinmac Posted January 28, 2009 Author Posted January 28, 2009 Ouch, that sounds nasty Trev. I hate the damn things anyway. And dont start me on foxes Quote
kObi Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 holy crap that is a bad day! i hope the police didnt get you, or are you pretty sure they did? Quote
Martin W Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 A mile further down the road, coming out of a 60 limit into a 30. As I go round the corner theres a camera van Oops You might be Ok on this one. Happened to me last year, 65 in a 40 limit, but my friendly local Assistant Comissioner for Surrey told me the Vans are there to catch licence/insurance dodgers/ stolen plates/vehicles, they have an electronic feed to posses of 2 wheelers who are poised to go...

Maccaman Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Martin, have a go at the lottery. After a day like that your luck will certainly change. Quote
Stew Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Great start Martin! What you got planned for this evening mate? Quote
martinmac Posted January 28, 2009 Author Posted January 28, 2009 Just been shouted at for making the dining room untidy, calendars everywhere Quote
Maccaman Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Go to bed early while you can. AND WATCH OUT FOR THE CAT!!! Quote
stanski Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Oh dear now switch off the laptop before you spill coffee on it and electricute yourself! Poor sod... tomorrow is another day...... Quote
Maccaman Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Hope you've addressed mine already before the "refreshments" kick in. Quote
