Police helicopter was flying around the field opposite my house today, then a copper with a dog walks past.

I've no idea what's going on so don't know if i should be sad or happy and ben's daily chat thread idea seems to have died.

Theories:
Your neighbor is growing weed, big time, and somebody tipped the fuzz.
Russian spy aircraft was hit by AAM and the administration is not sure what to do with the news.
Somebody found enormous Celtic funeral ground complete with the sword of Asterix and the cops are afraid the ghost of Obelix would come to collect it.
A person with a metal detector found unexploded 500-lb German WWII bomb instead of the sword mentioned above.

So did my chatrooms :(
 
Germany beating Argentina in the world cup final; eventually.

World War II or the Falklands? I really couldn't have been less bothered.
 
Finding some photos of where I live on www.britainfromabove.org.uk find it amazing how little has changed, also explains some things I've found a little odd, for example 68 collingden road, numbers 1-67 are nowwhere to be seen.

the house i live in was built in the 1700's for a Manor House nearby, which has since been demolished...

So the workers house, outlasted the masters house.. oh the irony.

This village was no more than a few farms back in the 1700s, it then went mental when a drift mine was built and most houses are like mine at 100+ years old.

The mine then closed in the 50s/60s and the whole place was listed for destruction and bits were knocked down in a pretty haphazard manner. Once had a yellowpages man saying ok right I've found the even numbers for ramsay street but where are the odds? Answer being nowhere they were knocked down 40 years ago.

Strangely all the areas that were knocked out now have new estates on them, except of course they aren't victorian terraces and they haven't continued the numbers or street name so you have streets of new builds with an old surviving house seemingly in the same street but with a different street name and inexplicable number.
 
My wife has worked really hard and shown an amazing amount of willpower to lose a fair bit of weight that she'd put on while working stupid long hours running two pubs (constant snacking and eating at work) , her best friend who is just a lazy sod got her husband to fork out £5000 for a gastric band op because she says she can't be bothered to diet..... no one seems to put any effort in to anything these days...:shakehead:
