After being woke up by a large crane in the road!
Then he sits outside my house for a few minutes then goes up the other end to turn around!
The builders turn up 05:10 and start work at 05:25!!!!
So I phoned the environmental health officer, and he is going to go and see them tomorrow! But I won't be holding my breath!

Betty Butter bought some butter, but the butter Betty bought was bitter, so, Betty Butter bought some better butter than the butter Betty bought before!

And on that note!
The Pheasant Plucking Song
Me husband is a keeper, he's a very busy man,
I try to understand him and I help him all I can,
But sometimes of an evening I feel a trifle dim,
All alone and plucking pheasants when I'd rather pluck with him.
I'm not the pheasant plucker,
I'm the pheasant plucker's mate
And I'm only plucking pheasants
Cos the pheasant plucker's late.
I'm not good at plucking pheasants, pheasant plucking I get stuck,
Though some peasants find it pleasant I'd much rather pluck a duck,
Oh, but plucking geese is gorgeous, I can pluck a goose with ease
But plucking pheasants is sheer torture, for they haven't any grease.
I'm not the pheasant plucker,
He has gone out on the tiles,
He only plucked one pheasant
And I'm sitting here with piles.
You have to pluck them fresh, if they're fresh it's not unpleasant,
I knew a man in Dunstable, could pluck a frozen pheasant.
They say the village constable has pheasant plucking sessions
With the vicar of a Sunday 'twixt the first and second lessons.
I'm not the pheasant plucker,
I'm the pheasant plucker's son,
And I'm only plucking pheasants
Till the pheasant plucker's come.
My good friend Godfrey's most adept, he's really got the knack,
He likes to have a pheasant plucked before he hits the sack.
I try and lend a helping hand, I gather up the feathers,
It's really all this pheasant plucking keeps us here together.
I'm not the pheasant plucker,
I'm the pheasant plucker's friend,
And I'm only plucking pheasants
As a means unto an end.
Me husband's in the woods all day, a-banging with his gun,
If he could hear me heartfelt cries, then surely he would run,
For I've fluff in all me crannies and there's feathers up me nose,
And I'm itchin' in the kitchin' from me head down to me toes.
I'm not the pheasant plucker,
I'm the pheasant plucker's wife,
And when we pluck together
It's a pheasant plucking life!

Yes...that's what happens when you go away and leave it in the hands of a pet sitter....
It's actually a 14th century house in Severac Le Chateau in the Aveyron

no parking in the road? Oh never mind I will park on some one else's drive and wait ten minutes, and go and pick up my children from school!!!!!!
It's a pity I wasn't home, I could of phoned the police! To remove him from my drive!
And sent the photos to the head teacher, who is going to keep an eye out as well as, and I have now been given the phone number of the head of parking enforcement, so next time they are blocking my drive, I can get it sorted!! :-)
And I have someone coming to give me a quote, to install a bollard, at the top of my drive, that way no one will get free parking! Especially when I am not at home!
Oh yeah they are given a parking permit to park in the pay and display car park at the side of the school for free! So they really shouldn't be around here.

I´m sure from the original " un fuzzed" image you can see the plate? Post it on every forum you know, and send it to news channels, I would!

From memory, I believe Eddie Murphy used a banana, and charged it to the local police department on the hotel bill...
