What exactly are the ‘cockles’ as in the cockles of your heart?
The ventricles. |

Cockles might be a group of muscles in your heart that let your brain know that you can get up in the morning. Hence the song ...
Cockles and muscles, alive? Alive - oh!

Hopefully the performance on Saturday will warm the cochleae cordis of Audrey's heart & the rest of us for that matter.

Had our work night out in Canary Wharf (highly recommend 'Electric Shuffle' for a group outing) which was good, but I haven't bought a pint in London for ages. A pint of generic lager (think it was Heineken) was £7.50. ouch!

I am currently staying in Madrid for a few weeks, walking home last night with my girlfriend a guy was reversing his car into the street parking space in front of mine and smacked my car really fucking hard.
I banged on his window and was like WTF. He got out and was like what? I started to have a go at him and my girlfriend immediately was like leave it, leave it. seriously leave it. He was only a little fella and i was about to hold my ground when he started cursing at me and even my shit spanish picked up his colombian accent. I looked at my girlfriend who at this point had pleading eyes, so I sort of shrugged and we walked off.
She later explained he was a "very well known" Colombian in the area, hence I have spent a night shitting myself and moved the car at 7am this morning.

A 4x4 went into the back of my motorbike in Cambodia and I got off and shouted at the guy, who acted as if I was invisible. The thought then struck me that he was driving a very nice car, so was probably connected to someone who could have me nicked. I got on my motorbike and skulked away. Made me long for home where I could just give him a hiding if it came to it(I wouldn't, I'm a pussycat).

See another ‘accidental ignition’ has destroyed a number of cars at a parking site at Bristol Airport.

Went to one of the big supermarkets in town last night, one that I don't use regularly. They had one till open  I usually use the self scan at my local supermarket but this time opted to use a regular till. Have to say it's not the first time I've been in there and just seen one person on the tills. Won't be hurrying back there. |

We went over the Dartford Crossing in September and I paid the £2.50 fee, but 10 hours late. I assumed there maybe some leeway built into the algorithm but sadly not and our £35 fine arrived on the doorstep this morning.
Clearly whether its 10 minutes or 1 month late it doesn't really matter in their eyes and its totally my fault for forgetting but is there any value in trying to challenge it?
