Major junction - power failure, all traffic lights down. Absolute chaos. Finally got home at just before 11pm.
During the ordeal, I listened to the just-released Semi-Detached by Therapy? several times, and to this day it reminds me of that night.
Good god, sounds like absolute torture, as does the traffic.

Git. I love that band.
Haven't heard/read 'git' in years.
Yeah, I imagine you usually hear much stronger language.

Pissing A55
Had fun today getting back from Anglesey, took nearly 3 hours to get from Holyhead to Bangor. And then had another closure further along the A55 near Rhyll. A 3 hr 45 mins journey took about 7 hours with a 40 minute stop.
