The lorry finally left on Wednesday. That guy was stuck in a layby for over four days.
#Headline of the day: "Nuns admit stealing cash for Vegas trips"
I have been fighting this for 4 hours. Bloody #CSS.
Easy forum question of the day:
"Is there something wrong with my code? I'm getting a segfault."
Just had a chat with a lorry driver who's been stuck on the side of the road for 27 hours waiting for breakdown assistance. He reckons he'll be waiting until Monday now. Poor bastard.

Novel ways to get delayed on the way to work: Sheep blocking the road because they're licking up the salt laid down overnight.
How long until the next race? #F1
So I just send this in and get my citizenship @finiteattention ?
-4.5°C outside. If I go for a #hike, that makes me Norwegian, right?
