Oi Your Knicked Mate!

June 8th, 2006

Late last night about 1:00am my brother was at our desktop computer which is in front of a window looking over our street, Valley Drive. He noticed a light that caught his eye, there was dark figure lurking about on the opposite side of the street with a flash light looking into the parked cars. I slid the window down and stuck my head out and I was watching for a while when my brother decided to call the police, by the time he got through to someone I could hardly see the guy, the "perp" had made himself a fair way down the street towards harrogate town. Eventually I lost sight of him.

About half an hour later my brother got a phone call on his mobile… it was the police! They had arrested someone just off Valley Drive! Another half hour later Andy the police man showed up. Ush had to give a statement, it was all very exciting and kinda fun! I told Andy I was surprised how much paper work he had to go through when he was talking to usman, he chuckled and told me they go through a lot and it’s a pain. Though i was shocked when Andy asked my brother "are you willing to show up in court" and ushi said No! But when the cop explained to him it was to give evidence he changed his mind. I would love to turn up in court and say "it was him your honour he did!" Anyways it was a very exciting night, i was surprised at how quickly they caught him. Andy said he had a torch and some matches on him, I’m wondering now how the hell would the criminal got into a car if he found something of interest. I suppose he would’ve found a way, they usually do.

(insert explative) Ticket!

June 7th, 2006

I got flippin’ ticket the yesterday! Arrrgh!!!

I was very angry with myself on how this came to pass! If you don’t know the story already let me fill you in. I live opposite a beautiful park named Valley Gardens in harrogate. You can only park here for 3 hours but since I’m a residence they give you a special permit so you don’t have to pay. But since my brother took the permit for his car when I had a little knock and my car was getting repaired I’ve been very good at putting the parking slips (scratch cards) that I have to put in for each day i park the car on the street. I’ve been very good so far in the beginning i learned my lesson after getting a few tickets. But yesterday was the first time I got a ticket since i started using the slips and i was so annoyed with myself.

However when i sat down and thought about it i realized that I was putting something off and this was, in my opinion fate’s cruel way of reminding me of what I needed to do… which was to get the car serviced and mot tested. I kept on putting this task off for no apparent reason. Finally i got my act together and I should get my car back on Tuesday.
