Well, I just need a laptop I suppose as I've got a BT PCMCIA card...

Moved another 200m - still over the junction though

Anyone check out Trafficwatch on the RAC site please? This thing won't display that site

According to the AA there has been at accident anticlockwise at Clackets too, so its now a queue from Junction 2 right back to the M23 Junction! Anyone got a pushbike I can borrow/ Needed immediately!

Think I'll be taking the scenic route!

Skills in the wrong area, you need to practice your bottle holding and aim. 1 1/2 hours today M3 round to A41... it sucked!

Me too... And I had eyes for that wagon

Ipaq getting cheaper. I run mine from orange at £15/month. Browsing on a small screen is a pain in the **** but it is damn useful on the move. Can be a bit slow.... Which I am a little allergic to (a side effect suffered by many visitors to this site).

Best

Mark - what you saying? You was on M25 at the same time as me or Jack?

Were you THAT man in the blue sport?

I didn't wave as it seemed a bit silly to do that when we were stuck in the same jam

PTMW, you should always carry an empty jam-jar in the glove box....thats what I used to do in case my littl`un needed to go.
But I suppose `you` would need something more like a coffee jar!
