FF/FS The Xmas 'claimed on expenses' event Perth 26th-28th nov 2010

[Andi9386]

Was an interesting weekend for sure, thought I'd be stranded in the car or have to somehow get back to the hotel. Thankfully since we were all nearer the head of the pretty massive queue we managed to eventually get out. Grateful for the comfy reclining seats for the power naps I occasionally had while waiting :laugh:

Have to say, even though the weather was extreme I had a great weekend. Cheers to Craig for paying my way at the club - was certainly an eye opener to the sights and sounds of Perth night life :grin: And as Andi alluded to earlier on, he was an absolute star to brave the cold and get some supplies from the shop. Crisps and water were a godsend :smile:

Also, I'd like to thank everyone who made it along and essentially made the weekend. Especially those who travelled so far and ended up getting the worst of the travel nightmares - glad you's all got home safe and sound eventually. Hopefully next year it'll just be back to the usual rain :wink:

Well as I said Rob, it was to stop us from starving and stop us de-hydrating, yes so it was fookin cold, and my feet were wet, but we all managed to have something to eat, & thank you Rob for the lift to Ming's in RGZ.

For a 1.2 RGZ doesn't half pull..... oh & that lorry driver= W4NK3R you know which 1 I mean Rob.

the stupidity of some people lol.... that womenin the vid... i dont know why where here roads were moving they looked fine.... love try a 13 hour drive home ffs. lol.

they started shuffeling people in there at 3pm sunday. we were stuck on the closed m90 from 12 till 7 half 7 lol.

Oh god I know..... "Oh well the roads seem passable" try saying that when your'e stuck on the M90 and a Snowplough gets stuck in traffic & the Police on a Quadbike

...oh & that lorry driver= W4NK3R you know which 1 I mean Rob...

Yeah, I know. I guess at least he helped push the Stilo back on track even if he didn't know what the feck he was talking about :laugh:

To everyone else, after we cleared the queue, RGZ pulled to the left slightly and I got caught on the slush/ice and then essentially beached on it with the wheels scrambling. Expert and lorry driver following gets out and says "you shouldn't have driven over to the left like that, etc, etc, yadda...yadda..." Gee, no sh*t Sherlock because I was aiming just for that icy patch of road ya tit.

Anyway though, yeah, after that it was clear sailing. Is it wrong I wish we'd made the front cover of some of the national newspapers? :laugh:

Oh but it was funny
Rob "Come on don't do this now, come on we can do this"
about 2seconds later it was "5H1T3 were in the slush, Andi get an give us a push!"
Lory Driver behind us "Waht the Beep you playin at?"
Me "The motor slid pal"
LD "Aye well you shouldn't have steered that way, you need to move it"
Me "Aye well he was steerin to the right, an we caught the slush, just gi us a push pal"
Sound familair Rob??
It could have been itneresting if we'd made the fornt page.
Healdine.... M90 Gets closed again after car slides on ice, causing major tailback.

the paper is moaning about 3hour set backs on the m25.... i **** 3 hours lol 7 hours is anothewr matter

Better than that Steve,some stupid stick up moo of a customer compained to me about getting stuck outside Glasgow on Sunday for 2 hrs, and then said "I bet you din't have that problem"
My Responce was "Ok try this then. 6.5miles south of Perth, 11.5 miles North of Kinross, stuck on the M90 Southbound for 7.5hrs!" that shut her up.
