UNABASHED Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 http://menmedia.co.uk/manchesterevening ... comments=1 missed the match trying to travel from the gf house in Northwich to mine in Leeds. what should have been an hour journey turned into a 7 hour journey! To make matters worse my radio doesn't work so I couldn't even listen to the match, then I used my iphone for a while to listen to the match but the reception was so bad that it cut out every couple of minutes. Got lost in some pikey area, relised I didn't have much petrol and I'd left my wallet at the gf's! when I finally joined the A58 to get home I joined the end of a 27 mile traffic jam and moved a car length every 5-10 minutes for a full 20 miles. It was soooo hot and finally, just to make matters worse, my engine management light popped on - I'm assuming to let me know it was happy about the heat either! Crap day. Quote

I was lost in some backward hick town at one point after the match had finished, I saw an england fan come out into his garden where he had loads of england flags and he started to just rip them all down - I guessed that was a bad sign!

MacW Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 Arguably you had a far more pleasant afternoon than those of us that got to watch the game. I know I'm jealous Quote
mrobinson2 Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 I saw the hightlights when I got in there were highlights???? Not if your an englishman! Quote
martinmac Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 My wife was in Hull for the weekend and was coming back the scenic route. I told her that the M62 would be quiet because of the soccer. I am not in her good books today. Quote
greido Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 It could have been worse, you could have been in a Maestro, that was the worse drive of my life..... Nothing exceptionally bad happened, the car was just crap. It wasn't mine, I was lent it by a 'freind'. Quote
