Humphrey Smith is dead.

Let's all share our fondest memories. Mine is when he forbade the residents of Tad from building a bridge when the floods destroyed the proper one, meaning people had to take a 10 mile round trip to get to the other side. Truly brings a tear to the eye.

Genuinely curious: why do people tailgate/drive too close to the vehicle in front?

I can't work it out. Whenever I see someone repeatedly applying their brakes as soon as the driver in front adjusts their speed I wonder why on earth it doesn't occur to them to give space.

I don't even mean just driving right up someone's arse aggressively. People drive too close all the time, on major roads this causes tailbacks when people then have to brake. If you're regularly applying your brakes while driving behind someone then you are too close; I assumed everyone knew this but maybe not.

Amazing experience post op - codeine and Laxido

Sharing this here as I have to tell someone, but as someone who's had IBS related diarrhoea for the past 10 years, it is quite an amazing experience suddenly feeling like a normal person. All it took was post-op (non guts related) morphine and codeine slowing down digestion and a stool softener.

I suspect it'll be back to usual when I stop the meds, but for now I'm revelling in it.
