In the news

Panic buying increases demand which makes tanker drivers seem more invaluable. Not choosing sides but it looks like it works in their favour because all of a sudden there's increased need and everyone thinks OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG those tanker drivers are such beautiful sons of bitches for bringing me petrol (or diesel).

Really, immensely, massively simple way of looking at it.

EDIT: I don't mean that's how everyone should see it, I mean this is my simplification of what I think may happen .

fuel fuel fuel fuel fuel!!

Where I live - Norwich lots of the stations are sold out other ones are lined back up the road. How bloody mad.

and there isn't even a strike

Did anyone see the ten o'clock show last night?

Did you see Eddie and Eddie going for a bag of sausage rolls?

Did you, like me, wish for the ground to swallow you up in embarrassment for them?

Fucking hell, Jimmy Carr couldn't bear to watch, it was that awful.

All Labour really had to do was to sit back and let the Tories take all the flack, but no. They had to make a prize bunch of tittering tits of themselves by going into Greggs as if it was something they did every day.
How did they make buying eight sausage rolls look so agonisingly clumsy?? They were buying baked goods, for fuck's sake, not dildos! They honestly looked like they'd hustled in there, blurted out an order for a bag of assorted dildos and then scuttled off, blushing and giggling.

It was cringeworthy of the highest order. It makes me despair, we have the tories doing the reverse midas where everything they touch turns to shit. Great, the opposition will love this and then along comes Terry Fuckwit and two assistants that look like they'd just beamed to earth seconds before and this was their first encounter with a new world and its beings.

The camera should have stayed on them in glorious close up as they were forced to eat every last crumb, preferrably with them gagging whilst still trying to maintain the smile through gritted teeth.

I did like Charlie Brookers description of the Greggs sausage rolls as sick in a sock, and a hot pig smoothy, ha!

Fuuuuck. I fucking hate Labour. They're the only party inept enough to keep the Tories in power.

Nearest petrol station to me ran out of fuel today, interesting to see how this develops.

"Professor, without knowing precisely what the danger is, would you say it's time for our viewers to crack each others' heads open and feast on the goo inside?"

"Yes I would, Kent."

More fuel us.

This fuel crisis is well pasty its sell-by date.

There were queues to get into just about every petrol station on my commute home. Dread to think how busy PT will be if people decide to leave their cars at home. Not that it really affects me, but there you go. Being on a bike is soooo cool sometimes.

I went for a run this evening, 10k around SE London, the petrol stations I passed were either out of fuel or had a big queue of cars waiting to get in.

I think I've got 3/4 of a tank, which should last for the foreseeable, but what if people come after my petrol with a hose and bucket?

Time to get the Zombie Apocalypse kit out.

Don't think it's suitable for fast moving flammable people.

Such utter cunts double facepalm

I guess as long as they're not cremated...

Petrol stations last night!! People queuing for ~100metres. I saw people standing in the road queuing in between cars with jerry cans

MADNESS.

I'm waiting for David Cameron to announce there is going to be national shortage of spunk.

I for one will welcome the queues of anxious women outside my door carrying egg cups and other such small receptacles...

You must have a anti syphon filter on your car. When mine broke down the other day we tried that but found out it had a filter on :(

This greggs episode seems to have been an effort to copy the burger joint thing that obama did. Only I think it wouldve been better if they just went to a greasy spoon, chip shop, indian restauant or even just a pub to 'prove' they are normal people.

Will the fuel panic buying thing really cause problems - like will there actually be a shortage of fuel?

There will not be a shortage of fuel, however, there may be problems in getting it into the petrol stations as has already been publicised roughly 2000 tanker drivers supply all of the petrol stations in the uk (8787 in 2010). So if large numbers of petrol stations sell out of fuel then at the pumps it may appear that there are shortages as they may take longer to receive deliveries.

interesting for some, not really big news though

Oh fucking hell, things are going from bad to worserer if the current shower of cunts in Westminster weren't bad enough now George "I am a serious politician but will badly impersonate a cat in order to try to get laid live on national TV" Galloway is an MP again

Don't worry. It's only in Bradford.
