I ...Here is my story that is opposite to yours :))<br />I am parking at a parking ramp next to the office. And this year new owners decided to charge more monthly and suggested to pick spots. Of course 1-st level spots are more expensive and 7-th level are almost free. Just because I am scared to walk in the dark parking ramp I decided: I'll pay more, but at least I'll feel more comfortable Ptichkinhttp://www.microdog.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2545713293332836232.post-56909175293099175872009-09-16T16:52:08.053-07:002009-09-16T16:52:08.053-07:00I just came back from a trip to Ukraine where most...I just came back from a trip to Ukraine where most inter-city highways are just two lane country roads littered with potholes. Where people have to risk head on collisions just to pass a slow moving vehicle. I saw a terrible car accident with a young man literally crashed into his car and a truck on fire in a ditch next to it. There was no police in sight. Other cars were just driving aroundNatanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2545713293332836232.post-63017629653511058172009-09-16T09:53:44.314-07:002009-09-16T09:53:44.314-07:00@ Anonymous: Ha, yes I guess it is so true...I hav...@ Anonymous: Ha, yes I guess it is so true...I have lived here too long.

I have only moved to the UK from Azerbaijan a year ago and can still remember nightmares of Baku bribes, disorder everywhere, traffic jams, hungry police etc. But it is a bliss to be irritated when a policemen charges you for parking outside your drive - I envy you for that !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2545713293332836232.post-3319894697055036852009-09-15T22:58:17.607-07:002009-09-15T22:58:17.607-07:00oh dear...It is getting like that her now, if I pa...oh dear...It is getting like that her now, if I park outside my house the police come and tow my car away.

However, I'd like to remind you about "Prospekt Lenina" avenue back in Baku. Navigating it during the day is next to impossible because of all the cars that illegally parked (and double-parked, and triple parked) on both sides of the street. Don't you wish we had some law and order there?<br /><br />I hate RMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16804809338465207073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2545713293332836232.post-30030652222846974442009-09-15T10:53:33.398-07:002009-09-15T10:53:33.398-07:00Willie: Honestly, this form filling is driving me ...Willie: Honestly, this form filling is driving me insane.

There are thousands of Civil Servants whose whole purpose in life is to design new forms for us to fill in so that they can collate information that they already have but do not share with each other.
