Lowlifes!

As it was, After the respray, ... and all that's left :- (

Our beloved campervan was nicked and torched. Bastards! Just for kicks. What is wrong with these people? I would have a little bit of sympathy had a homeless person broken in because he/she had nowhere to shelter and accidentally set it alight, but destruction just for the sake of it... Of course the insurance can't replace everything; it was our little home on wheels, our escape, our freedom. I just can't believe it could be so totally destroyed - you wouldn't know there had ever been cupboards, beds and bedding, towels, clothes, crockery, cutlery, pots and pans, books,c.d.s etc.

"At all"

Just another linguistic irritation:

Why do people add "at all" to their questions? e.g. "Is Bob there at all?" ("Well, he's here a little bit...") "Do you need a bag at all?" ("Well, just a bit of a bag, thank you")? ...and another one...(on the phone) "Who is this?" (Well, if you don't know who you are I'm not going to tell you! - did you mean "Who is that?")

Sad day

Today I had to say goodbye to an old friend ... yes, my old Volvo had to go to the scrapyard. After blowing the head gasket, given all the other niggly things as well as it's age, repair was uneconomical.

I now have a "proper" car - '51 plate, shiny, lots of electronic wizardry ... but I am heartbroken.

Done it!

I've finally submitted my tax return! And waddya know - they owe me £106!

Won't buy me a new (for "new" read "another second-hand") car though! Mine's terminal :-(
