Hello
This is my first entry :)
Ok a bit more info was requested. So here goes. My name is Chris and I'm 23 years old. Currently I am doing a PhD at Queens University Belfast (I would say I was studying but...)
Right I mentioned that today was a bad day...
Went to the Gym last night and had a great workout. However it left me rather tired, then I couldn't really sleep. So this morning the alarm woke me up. I killed it and went back to sleep. Woke up again at 8:40 (glad I didn't have to be in Belfast for 9!). On the way to Belfast needed to get petrol and had planned to stop off at the garage at Carryduff (Kung_fu_chris should know the one). At Carryduff I came off the roundabout and was prepared to turn left into the garage... but there was a postal van blocking the lane. I moved into the next lane to get round the van, planning to pull into the garage in front of it. Then the bloody van pulls off without signalling and blocks my entry into the garage. Arse!
Change of plans then lets fill up at the next garage (on the opposite side of the road). This involves turning right across busy traffic twice but what the hey? Get to the pump... and then manage to fill up with super unleaded! (DOH!)
So on with the day... not in the best mood... get down to Forestside (with all the wonderful bus lanes) and am in the inside lane. I'm turning left in two junction’s time, so I need to move left... match speed with traffic and look over left shoulder to check gap. Out of the corner of my eye I see a van sitting in the bus lane (not another bloody one!). Except this van has the back door open... POLICE speed cameras! (Don't think that i was going too fast but I will let you know...)
