MAD, asked my transport guy  ''what am i doing on monday'' to which he told me...
then one of our other drivers asked what am i on then '' he said go to that speed power thing thats on at the weekend
and pick up empty beer kegs to take back to the brewery''
i asked can i go instead, he said ''no theyve asked for a rigid vehicle not artic coz of space, plus he said i might get bogged down coz of the ammount of rain
