I was venting....let it go..shwww

They're making some new Red Dwarf!!!! Just read the news on the website and am really quite excited. They'll be shown on 'Dave' (which now means I have to work out how to get that channel!) They'll be 2 entirely new episodes with the original cast and then a behind the scenes episode and a 'special' episode (very hush. hush, don't you know).

Rehearsals for 'O what a Lovely War' are going well. I have a team of 45 .... count them.....45 Performance Support type people - a huge chunk of whom are first years! - so am feeling a little trepidatious but at the same time quite excited about the work they're going to do! We're testing out the outside lights that will shine through the stained glass window at the back next week - can't wait to see how it's going to look.

Still getting used to living in Gatehouse, seems weird to not have to drive home, and at the same time quite smug *beam*

Grrrr

I am severly p****d off. I just had to instruct the solicitor to say that I will accept the 50/50 liability for the crash because,

"there were no Independent witnesses and it was on a single track road"

and also she doesn't feel it likely that my insurers will pay for this to go to court and I can't afford it.

I feel that if it did go to court someone would actually take a good look at the damage to the cars, got to the road and work out distances and the speed needed for him to mount the bank go through the air and land ON my bonnet and then they would clearly see that he was speeding. He already admits in his statement that he didn't even know there was a speed limit down that road and he had recently been involved in another crash.

I, on the other hand, have 8 years no claims, a clean license and drove up and down that road every day, meeting people coming the other way - even at that bit of road - with absolutely no problems whatsoever. It makes me sooo angry that just because it is a single track road and there are no witnesses that noone will support it being investigated further - if he'd have been going any faster (and ended up about 40cm further up my bonnet) his bumper would have been in my face......not sure they would have so bloody quick to dismiss it as 50/50 then!

I realise that the above may sound unreasonable but I did have a car flying through the air heading for my windscreen, and now the driver of that car is still on the road probably in another new car his parents bought (the Mum was lovely but really, have some sense)for him and, probably, just as likely to do the same thing again.

Plus I feel like I've been made to lie about the fact that I'm partly responsible for an accident - when I'M NOT!!!!!!!!

I guess I'm just going to have to let it go, as there's no way I'll accept it as the right thing.
