That just shows how fucked we are when our mobile's die.

Too true. A few years ago I had a blowout on the A9 in a blizzard, no spare, only one of those stupid silicone things as much use as a chocolate teapot. Managed a quick call to a mate with location and phone died during the call. Dread to think what would have happened if it had died before it. Was a company blackberry and was showing 50% charge, but I subsequently discovered the thing was fucked and would die anywhere between 50% and 20% charge showing. No wonder they're defunct.

^^^ grass.



Don't tarnish me with the same brush as old man danger.

Policeman: "can you describe the gentleman that exited the vehicle"
Monkman: "Not really, it was dark and I was busy on the phone to yourselves."
Policeman "would you be able to identify him again"
Monkman: "I don't think so"

About an hour ago driving home I stumbled across a white Mercedes sprinter van on its side, blocking a country road, just outside Dumfries. There was debris all over the place; trees, hedges and smashed up white van scattered all over the road. There was also guy stuck inside the van, booting f**k out the windscreen in his attempt to get out. Another vehicle had pulled up, and the occupants of this vehicle were trying to reassure the guy that he'd be okay while I phoned emergency services.

Whilst on the phone, the guy managed to free himself from the cabin via a now kicked in windscreen. He stumbled about for a bit, looking a bit worse for wear. Then the fucker legged it up the road out of nowhere. A minute or two later in the distance, another car pulled up he got in and it tore off. I'm assuming he was pissed.

As a result, I've then had to spend the best part of an hour, having small talk with the other 2 passers by, while waiting on the police and giving statements etc as they informed me I wasn't allowed to leave.

It was fucking freezing as well and the police were in no hurry when they arrived.

On the sick from Croydon Trams now trying out as a delivery driver?

I saw a kingfisher on the Kelvin today. What made it even better was that I'd just passed someone in a portable hide with a zoom lens poking out the front.

I wish I had a zoom lens at times though...

Love kingfishers. Here's a female from the Water of Leith in January of this year (after a bit of image enhancement), taken with a medium-sized zoom.

Watched a male KF fishing (successfully) on Sunday, about quarter of a mile upstream from the photo. Only had the phone camera with me and couldn't get a good photo.

Halcyon days, indeed.

Cracking picture m8.

I saw one in Kelvingrove park a few months ago swooping down and catching a wee fish. Far too quick to even get the phone out.
