What is hacking you off today?

[RHB]

My ability to handle alcohol and the banging hangover I am now suffering from. Getting old sucks!

You're telling me. After six years of retirement It's finally dawned on me that I know how to use the washing machine and tumble dryer without any adult supervision. Absolutely pathetic.

I haven't quite reached that level yet. I put clothes in and hang them out when it beeps. But I have no idea how to work the thing.

Honestly does anyone seriously believe in this body and blood of Christ crap? I went to the Vatican years back and while fascinating I can't help but wonder how much of world poverty would be solved by selling even 10 per cent of it.

Same goes for the Monarchy. When our wonderful queen dies that's the time to call an end. By all means keep the head of state. Allow them Buck House and a Scottish estate and sell the rest of the assets with the cash going to the country. Simples!

The rain has ripoed the drains out of the ground at the bottom of Thundersley Park Road.

Traffic chaos certain for those in South Benfleet 90210.

My garden, especially bedding plants have been decimated by what must have been an overnight legion of snails and slugs.

I've got a thorn in my right index finger that is in so deep I just can't get it out and it's bloody sore. Where's Androcles when you need him?

Went through the "road closed signs" on the High Road at about 20 past 8 as did hundreds of other people this morning - couldn't actually see anything at that time but it was causing huge chaos!

No so much 'hacking off', but daughter now has chickenpox after big brother had is last week. Inevitable, but poor little thing is absolutely covered.

2nd child often gets it worse, if you can get it, there is some calamine spray which has a cooling element to it. Funny, I've had it twice and I never caught it from my sister, nor she from me.

This is a B1/B2 visa. Not an L1 visa which I have previously held.

Does an ESTA not cover it, or do you have a naughty background?

Tory cutbacks to Essex Police.

We were driving home through Benfleet around 2am when I told my wife to stop because I saw someone collapsed on the pavement.

They were unresponsive so I phoned an ambulance however they managed to stand up so I cancelled and called the police.

The person in question was a young woman and did not speak much English. She was confused and seemed terrified about something however she did mention an address. She had two bags and her belongings were strewn on the pavement. I suspected people trafficking or worse however the 999 operator said that this was not a priority and she would try to get a car out.

The next morning we received a call from the police asking if we had any more information as they had been unable to find her and were concerned for her safety. We asked if they had visited the address she mentioned and they said no.

I hope she is OK. I did think about taking her home with us but we have two children and we were potentially placing them in danger.
