Antiques Roadshow - I love this programme but somehow it feels a bit too

Me.  For undertaking an unmarked Police Volvo on the M5[1].
Reported for "riding like a twat" aka driving without due care and
attention.
Upside, the copper said he'd recommend a driver re-education course

I do believe I genuinely hate the woman and her smirking, grinning smugness.
If she can cook then my cock's a bloater.
Problem is, I have to watch the bastard programme every week just to confirm

Anyone know the cheapest (and fairly quick) way to get from Brizzle

Ma's looking at buying a new motor and weighing up the cost to send me

Nope, can't see an apex here

My bird's gotten a parking ticket for parking outside our house. The thing
is, a permit scheme's been set up, and they've not managed to send her a
