Help me!
I find monthly threads about old chocolate bars a little tedious (no offence 'Prone).

Tell me what's currently rocking your stereo, so that I can mock it and tell you it's shit.

well yes and no
i had to scratch off the time of arrival, which was 12:10pm. i scratched off both the 12 and the 10 in the hours column. as these fucking things are like gold-dust, i then scratched off the 10 in the minutes column rather than using a fresh one, and left. (i) it was obvious to an illiterate monkey (ie a traffic warden) what i meant; and (ii) the earliest i could therefore have parked was 10:10am. either which way, it was clear.

when i got there at 8.30am the next morning... parking ticket. the scrubby, pikey, cheating, unscrupulous, desperate, working on commission, get a real job bastards.

You don't have a leg to stand on though do you
you've just admitted it's your fault you got it wrong and therefore according to the terms and conditions which you are implicitly accepting by using the ticket, you have invalidated the ticket.

I'll invalidate your ticket

(, Mon 4 Oct 2010, 15:25, Reply)
yes
but i don't consider it to be invalid. on the face of the ticket, it was quite clear. if i had arrived after 10.10am, i could have seen their point - conceivably i could have had more than 24 hours.

if i weren't a lawyer, i'd just scratch off a new ticket and send them that with a letter saying "what's your problem?"

but my practising certificate is worth more than a £35 parking ticket, sadly.
(, Mon 4 Oct 2010, 15:26, Reply)
But you just said you scratched off two boxes in the hours column
which I'm almost certain will, according to the T&Cs, render the ticket invalid.

(, Mon 4 Oct 2010, 15:31, Reply)
nope
also there is nothing in the Ts & Cs about scratching off 2 boxes invalidating a ticket. NOTHING. don't get me started on the legal ramifications of interpreting express and implied contractual clauses. but i will be really irritating the cunts at oxford city council parking department. it's the principle of the thing - that man/woman could clearly SEE i was not breaching anything.

so I've been looking for new music to chuck on it. No one was around to ask (plus you all listen to boring prog rock) so I just facestalked Applebite and stole some of the bands from her profile as we seem to have quite similar taste

So the few bands I have on my MP3 player are Emilie Autumn, Soundgarden, The Ting Tings, Nirvana and Lacuna Coil. Lacuna Coil and Soundgarden were thieved from Applebite, so far so good.

The Ting Tings were because I never listened to their album and I liked the couple they released. The album sucks.

Bass Clef's, old new album "May The Bridges I Burn Light The Way". Absolutely energised Soca/Calypso/Rave/Jungle/Dub, if you can't bust a few moves to this, then you may as well pack it in.
