I've just had an awesome bus ride...
There was a kid on there this morning, travelling with someone I assume to be his older sister (she looked about 16, he looked about 5, both in school uniform), and he was asking loads of questions.

The concept of the emergency exit seemed to fascinate the kid, and so he spent 10 minutes asking questions about it. He then asked "Is it so superheroes can save us if we're in trouble?" She agreed, and told him it's so all superheroes can help, even if they don't all have super strength.

When he asked about this, she started going on about the emergency services. I only heard about the Fire Brigade being super-brave and the Paramedics being super-clever (her words) before I had to get off the bus, but this kid was loving it, and from the grins a few of us were exchanging, so were we.

So, when was the last time you overheard something that made you smile?

Alt Q: When was the last time you heard something that made you angry? Mine was hearing a lad in high school shouting 'Paki' at the bus as it drove past. Charming little shit.

I have a path over the fence from my front door which dozens of primary-school kids and their parents use
and yesterday, two parents walked past as I was unlocking the door and one said "Well, she can't get up the stairs but there's always the kitchen sink..." which I struggled to find meaning in, until her companion piped up "Well if she gets desperate, then..."

But all I can do is sound like a broken record, and say keep your head up, you've shown you're an incredible father to your daughter, you've displayed incredible patience, and I keep my fingers crossed every day that karma exists, and it's got your back.

From partially relevant experience
You'll have to court it. She has probably convinced herself she's right. A solicitor will (mostly) only tell her she is right, or at least that the court can be convinced she's right. It's only when you stand before an actual judge you'll get the truth out. Unless you've got convictions or she's got actual evidence of irresponsible behaviour then she'll seriously struggle.

In these sort of things solicitors rely on fear and a gamble that you won't take it all the way. I was particularly impressed that a solicitor won't respond seriously to a letter you write unless you pay a solicitor to write exactly the same words for you. Which is a bit fucked up, no?

On monday, while driving home
I was speeding along the road and the car in front of me was only doing 40 when I was doing 60 so I overtook it, but the stupid cunt then started accelerating forcing me to cut him up severely to avoid hitting an oncoming car. The stupid cunt then sped up to over 70 to go past me while his retarded mates swore at me for having the audacity to be driving faster than them.

Then some other stupid cunt cut me up at the roundabout.

I fucking hate other drivers.

and they speed up and swear at you. If you're capable of speeding up then FUCKING CONCENTRATE ON DRIVING AND DRIVE THAT FAST BEFOREHAND!

I've only ever done precisely what I described on that short stretch of motorway between the M5 north, and the M4 onto the Severn Bridge

and if some twat is driving in the middle lane and not paying attention, I feel it is my duty to wake them, and if they crash it's their fault not mine

I agree just don't think honking on the motorway is a good idea.
Flashing people (with your lights) is fine.

I don't think driving in an oblivious manner
on the fastest roads in the country is a good idea. If you're so stupid that you can't pay attention to what speed your doing and what lane you're in, you're unlikely to notice flashing lights in your mirror either.

If you aren't concentrating to the point that your speedo is a random blur and you have no idea that there is an empty gap in the lane next to you
then you aren't going to notice flashing lights. I'm not just conjecturing here, I have flashed my lights repeatedly at people, and when I finally give up and overtake they haven't even noticed me there, they are either hunched over the wheel or chatting to their friend.

edit - also I like to "write" things that are "right"

Or start from the inside lane
go all the way to the outside to overtake them, and pull straight back into the inside, making sure that you never get more than five feet from the front or back of their car during the move.

That usually fucking wakes them up.

It's particularly bad up here, a lot of people seem to think the middle lane IS the lane your supposed to be in.

Devon isn't too bad for middle lane hogs really, and as soon as you enter the county everyone speeds up anyway, so it's less of a problem.

Nah, you were talking about looping
I don't bother with the "slowing in the inside lane bit"

I just pull off a perfectly legal, textbook slow-middle-fast lane overtake. I just cut very, very, very close to the front and back of their car while doing it to wake them up.

Ah, each to their own.
But you aren't strictly cutting them up if you don't make them swerve out of the way. I merely have an in-depth knowledge of the exact length of my car ;)

I would loop, but it slows me down on my journey, daddio.

foiled by maths
i decided to be nice to my team and buy krispy kremes for everyone as i got off at a different tube stop this morning. ridiculously it is cheaper to buy 12 than 6, but i thought my little team wouldn't eat 2 each, and 12 wouldn't have been enough for the whole department. only realised when i got to work that there are 7 of us on the team. so now they are all eating krispy kremes and i am - not.

monty - i think you should probably get proper advice as to whether she has a serious chance of succeeding in court on the grounds of massive drugs. i can't help as i've never done family law, but my old firm has a brilliant family team and they are really cheap as they are in uxbridge. or i can put you in touch with our pro-bono clinic so you could get a free overview?? i can't believe any mother could think it was in the best interest of her child to deprive her of spending time with her dad. she's only going to resent her for it when she gets old enough to realise. mind you, once she gets to be 13, she'll hate both of you for ruining her life anyway because she didn't ask to be born...
