I was backing up your point. Very defensive Dee Man.

Apologies for reading it wrong, I was genuinely waiting on someone trying to pull me up for that. I think the stress of your upcoming wedding is getting to me.

Not quite the same disruption, but a chopper has gone and done a similar thing:

Sometimes I just don't understand people.   

My normal day consists of arriving in Edinburgh about 08:45 and leaving in the ProCeed around 16:00.   There's a pedestrian crossing fairly close to Crewe Toll that's used by a Mother/Blonde Kid combo during these times.    When ever they wish to cross the  boy always pushes the circular button on the pelican crossing and that's excellent parenting, and whether I'm running late or not I've huge tolerance towards this.    But...the mother allows the blonde haired boy to push the button on once he's crossed the road and it massively, and unnecessarily snags the flow of traffic for the southbound commuter.     

After work today I was using the Comely Bank Waitrose and this Woman/Blonde Kid combo were in shopping and I thought it the perfect opportunity to make a friend and offer corrective advice.   Sadly the woman wasn't open or receptive towards my sage advice and unnecessarily involved her husband and store security services.    

Acid test will be Monday to see whether my intervention's been worthwhile.

I think the acid test will be tomorrow when you'll see if the police have taken the family's complaint seriously

I was hoping that it wouldn't disrupt the trial schedule for unruly traffic light ignoring cyclists, but go ahead.

And if it did, was the wifie a wid nor a wid not. 

Took place in the Waitrose.     You can get some cracking meatballs out of Waitrose these days which is great if - like me - you're trying to shed a few pounds for the cycle watching season.

Watching the news here tonight, story about a tourist falling into the Grand Canyon. They’re looking for him.
“......he fell over 4000 feet. Authorities don’t believe he survived”
I laughed at that more than I should have

I hope you didn't lose your meatballs when somebody sneezed. 

Thank you.

Similar to when you hear a news story like: Police today said his dismembered remains were found inside a suitcase. A spokesman said they are treating the death as suspicious.
