My goodness, that is so sad.
Posted by chandler, 15:34, 11th June 2003:
 
yep :/
relatively close to home too.
Posted by arsepuppy, 15:36, 11th June 2003:
 
Don't you live near Daventry though??

That's Northamptonshire surely, not Leicestershire....
Posted by chandler, 15:37, 11th June 2003:
 
thats why i said relatively.
plus i was on that bit of road on monday.
Posted by jlittle, 15:43, 11th June 2003:
 
I was down there on Monday night aswell - infact, there are some idiots drivers on the road! I actually took down the reg and phone number of a delivery guy on the M6 for getting less than a meter up my backside while passing a police car (who was following a wide viecle)
Posted by chandler, 15:48, 11th June 2003:
 
i saw a massive wide vehile looked like it had a massive metal building with stairs on it. passed a load of massive army trucks too with wheels as big as my little car.

(motorways are big and scary to me, it was the first time id spent any time on one)
Posted by beargod, 15:51, 11th June 2003:
 
you driving on it at least, i have driven you on the motorway furtherish
Posted by arsepuppy, 15:51, 11th June 2003:
 
I don't drive.
Posted by chandler, 15:53, 11th June 2003:
 
yeah you have, but its quite scary when you first drive on one yourself.
Posted by arsepuppy, 15:53, 11th June 2003:
 
By bastardising Chay bizarro logic, this means I am better than those who drive.
Posted by arsepuppy, 15:53, 11th June 2003:
 
Or something.
Posted by chandler, 15:57, 11th June 2003:

im better than smokers cos they are scum
whereas i drive on motorways in the name of love

*braces self for a massive kick in the head*

(i am joking btw ap)
Posted by arsepuppy, 15:58, 11th June 2003:
 
Even though you're joking, can I still kick you??
Posted by chandler, 16:00, 11th June 2003:
 
yeah, go ahead. i enjoy the attention, and the pain.
just like vicky enjoys the feeling of a wooden drawer slamming on his nuts.
Posted by arsepuppy, 16:02, 11th June 2003:
 
I think everybody enjoys that right? Right??


Oh.

*runs*

I'm from the U.S, and I haven't heard about this yet.
Posted by coolcat88, 21:56, 11th June 2003:

Posted by Redmaiden, 22:14, 11th June 2003:

Posted by jeff, 22:17, 11th June 2003:
 
its THE M1, the spine of england, goes right near my house..
Posted by coolcat88, 02:05, 12th June 2003:
 
I'm really sorry it happened to you guys, that's really tragic. How many people died?
Posted by cal, 09:27, 12th June 2003:
 
5 died i think. a couple still very badly injured.
Posted by coolcat88, 17:25, 12th June 2003:
 
That's really rotten, do they have all the mees cleaned up? That could take a really long time
Posted by chandler, 17:27, 12th June 2003:
 
they reopened it today. but it took hours and hours to clear it up
the APCs had to be moved with special equipment cos they are so heavy
Posted by coolcat88, 17:51, 12th June 2003:
 
APCs???
Posted by chandler, 17:52, 12th June 2003:

they're arrested someone

i think he must be the guy who pulled out right in front of the truck and caused it to have to avoid him and then all hell broke loose
Posted by coolcat88, 17:58, 12th June 2003:
 
why were they on the highway?
Posted by coolcat88, 17:58, 12th June 2003:
