M6 is torture. Even made it bendy so you can't get away with driving with your eyes closed because of the levels of visual rape on the horizon. Soon as you start seeing signs for Stafford you're just about safe, for 20 miles or so before you get close to Stafford. Then my geography from there gets a bit grey because I don't concern myself with the north of England much. Just a few towns with a few people either side of the motorway and then...

The M6 also goes to Gretna. It's as exciting as it sounds.

A road trip sounds like it could be a laugh actually. Games could include 'spot the cunt driver', 'irritate the lorry driver' and 'best verbal abuse to other drivers competition'.
If it sounds good, listen to it

Sounds like a plan! But do we know anyone in Nottingham or Leeds?

Nottingham perhaps, Leeds don't think so, but I'm sure we can alter it to suit needs, or just travelodge it, if we've got 3-4 of us it shouldnt be too pricey.

Thought I had tinnitus earlier on when there was a ringing in my right ear for over an hour (haven't been to any gigs or anything recently) and was shitting bricks. Luckily it's stopped now. It has prompted me to stop using my in ear headphones though and go get some proper ones.

Sounds like sinus or ear wax buildup. I get it sometimes. Other times it can precede a cold.

I immediately cleaned my ears and it was still ringing and I'd been feeling fine today so not sure really. I can deal with a cold, i'm just glad it's not still going on.
