I was in a service station in Belgium this afternoon when i lookedout of my window and below me in the car park there was a chicken. He had obviously stopped thinking there was a KFC there 

Anyway, he was looking up to me so we had a little chat and i give him a ginger biscuit, he liked it, so i give him another. By then i had had my 45 min break and it was time to go, so we said our good byes and i was very careful not to run him over, As far as i know he is still there.

It's amazing what you see in motorway services these days.
No i have not been drinking this is a true story..

Can you talk chicken? 

You didn't ask him about the chicken and the egg, perchance? :-?

Always wanted to know the answer to that one!

When i said we had a little chat i said to him where the break did you come from. He didn't answer.

If he had it would have been, an egg..,

I used to drive for DFDS before they got divided up to the 4 corners. I was promised when I started that I'd never be away for more than 2 weeks at a time (one round trip). After 10 years I was up around 7 or 8 weeks between getting home. I was usually greeted at Felixstowe by a day tripper waiting for a trailer swop! Part of the reason I left!

12 to 14 days at most for me, I left last Friday and be home tomorrow, thats long enough.

Probably last European trip this year for me i either do exhibitions or deliver equipment to Vienna for Cadavers.. Thats where they teach surgeons to fit knee and hip joints.. It's an eye opener to be honest them jobs with all the bodies and parts.. Still it has to be done..

I sincerely hope the trailers are refrigerated. 

Naughty me!

Mine was nearly always GH apart from the poland run which was aerospace parts. Worst run ever was Sicily to Hull, twin deck -18º trailer with 170 hanging beef carcus'! I was sea-sick before the Italy ferry

[Baron Von Spongebob]

I only deliver the equipment, Tools etc, Thats enough to put off the Local police in what every country i get stopped in.. Show them the paperwork and they quickly say goodbye..

Time for bed for me, must get my beauty sleep
