WTF can you get some petrol in this county ?

[Badger]

I think I'll fill my car up next week, I imagine I'll have the forecourt to myself and be able to pick my favourite pump.

Just been announced that there will be no strikes over Easter, to allow the union to "focus on talks".

So go and put the petrol back, you UTTER SPANNERS.

It's wound me up all this. Absolutely pathetic. There was no reason to panic buy, and all it has done has created more hassle.

I am going to wait. I don't need my car over the weekend now, so I am going to wait and not add to the madness. There is NO STRIKE, and there is NO NEED TO PANIC.

Indeed.

A woman has suffered 40% burns when petrol ignited as she was transferring it to containers in her kitchen in York, North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service has said.
It comes two days after Cabinet Office minister Francis Maude told Sky News that people should avoid petrol shortages by putting extra fuel in a jerry can in the garage.

Sky's North of England correspondent Gerard Tubb said: "The woman was apparently decanting fuel in the kitchen of her home.

"She was pouring petrol from one container to another, but we do not know what those containers were and why she was doing it.

"However, somehow the petrol ignited and set fire to her."

It is unclear whether the woman's actions were the response of advice given by the Government.

Or possibly just her own stupidity.

There is some weird herding instinct that affects people of this country that I just dont understand. If people see a queue, they seem to have an uncontrollable urge to join it.

But none of them ever think that they're part of the problem. When they broadcast news reports from the petrol stations and interview those queuing, almost without fail, those spoken to claim they're just filling up as normal, and that it's all the OTHER idiots who are panic buying.

(before sticking twenty quid in and driving off, safe in the knowledge that they're alright, Jack).

I remember that day well, I'd just bought myself a Sega Saturn but my parents wouldn't let me use it because there was some news story on the tele.
Damn you Sega for only providing a SCART lead, DAMN YOU!

I was moving some stuff last night and found my old Saturn. I opened the CD drive a couple of times, and the noise alone brought back long-lost memories.

And yes, I did even lean down and SMELL the Saturn.

What memories. NiGHTS! Panzer Dragoon. Some flipping great games.
