Just stuff

Just some bits and bobs.

Strobing blue lights and a quick burst of sirens last night, a police car pulling someone over for what sounded like "failure to indicate" yep the officer wanted to check the guy's lights were working. I could go off about why aren't they chasing down proper criminals, but I won't because I was actually impressed.

Talking about road use, has anyone seen any parking attendants yet? Call me crazy, but wouldn't the best times to patrol be when the parking time restrictions are in force?

The works on Worcester Road have migrated slightly downward making the stretch longer, sadly the inter-red times don't seem to have altered making the chances of one set of lights going green before the lane is clear slightly greater. Really only noticeably only with streams of traffic.

Something I forgot to mention about the delivery to the building work at Thomas Vale opposite OGL was that I believe it was for the fencing rather then the building itself; prior to this I recall a workmen on the pavement holding back one of the large boards that threatened to fall down. Some braces have now appeared on the other side, but you can still see a noticeable kink in the line.

If STW are planning on starting work on the 1st they're leaving it a bit late to tell people using the road, roadworks on the major routes get all sorts of notice... oh hold on isn't that when it's the Highways Agency doing the work; silly me Utilities just turn up one day and start laying down cones.

The WFA site hasn't been updated in a while, I guess Tav is busy sunning himself on a beach in Californ-i-a. Oh and for some reason the Stourport Carnival site has been disabled. In conjunction with her physical move Suzie appears in the middle of a virtual one too going from artography to beyondwords. Likewise Gail was shifting her site, but that doesn't seem to have happened; she's been posting details on the PASS 2007 event, but also started to write about her roleplaying group (which I find more interesting :-) ) The scenario sounds very chthonian, though without the sanity loss.
