I don't think he had the first clue that there was a child in the car - proper red-mist road-rage. I was shitting myself and convinced one of them was going to beat the shit out of the other so god knows what was going through the bairn's mind. I've just had an e-mail back from Uber saying they're going to look straight into it.

Yeah I've sent them feedback and am just waiting to hear back, apparently within 24hrs. Saying all of the above, I do think it's a good service in principle - we were just unlucky.

Well my first Uber experience was an interesting one. Been in Manchester for the weekend which included going to a old friend's 40th in Stockport, so decided it was as good a time as any to give Uber a try. The journey there was flawless - car was outside our hotel in the centre of Manc the minute I requested it. The driver was pleasant, chatty and courteous and I had a £10-off-your-first-journey thing going on so it cost me about £3. Coming back? Sooooo... The driver was there within 5 minutes, pleasant when we got in the car, made a bit of small talk, gets onto the A6 into Manchester and decides to flee round the outside of this other car in order to cut inside him and get to a set of lights first. The other driver slams on his brakes and his horn, continuously for about 30 seconds, and then we carry on. Just before the next set of lights, this lunatic screeches his car diagonally in front of the taxi, stops, gets out of the car full of hell and opens our driver door screaming and swearing etc. Our driver repeatedly tells him to "get back in the car, dickhead" which doesn't go down well. They continue screaming at each other (one of them was a fucking c**t apparently) My 6-year-old is petrified and bursts into tears, our driver eventually gets back in the car saying "sorry about that" and continues along the way as if nothing had happened. The rest of the journey was uneventful. It was..... an experience.

2016 will be bittersweet for me. I have a close friend that won't make it to the next one and yet have huge adventures planned personally. Wishing you all everything you need for the new year x

Thanks pet but I seriously need to sleep now. Like right this minute. The bairn was up at 6.30am yesterday and I'm now hallucinating about a marshmallow-style bed with fluffy pillows..

I love the fact it even works on my mobile I'm also now at work so all you turkey-filled, booze-sodden gits can all piss off!

Wishing you all a lovely Christmas x

Don't need to see Star Wars now. The bairn went with his dad last night and came home absolutely bursting and told me everything...

Nutty turd truffles... (saves you the trouble )

Oh I'm sure I know what you're into, just not who

Come on Pav

I was going to try and find an appropriate pic for you to drool over but I've not got the first clue who 15-yr-old lads are into these days. So have this instead... Happy birthday

Here's a clue - it's not real. However, I've never worked in the States. Pay enough money and you may well be able to, although it's unethical.

Only if it's a caesarian section and the lady is having spinal anaesthetic (staying awake) They're not allowed in if we're doing general anaesthetic. And not at all for all other kinds of surgery. The furthest they may get is to the anaesthetic room under certain circumstances.

I intend to do that every year and still haven't got round to it! The bairn is at bloody school til Tuesday night so it doesn't leave us a lot of time to do nice things before Christmas. However, we are going to The Snowman at the Sage on Wednesday then going for breakfast on Christmas Eve with a mutual friend of ours

Yes, because that's exactly how I sound

Except there's no football reference. 1/10 - try harder.

Excellent. You may pass go, collect £200 and head straight for the Superiority Complex

I reckon at least 3 of them are blokes in drag.

You didn't make that clear, spazzwad It suggested you'd line then up at gunpoint.

Let's take this slowly, so you can understand your mistake. So you'd shoot (fnar) 5 first, 4 second etc etc...

Which means you love her the most and want to kiss her/him.
