Who the fuck ordered all this concrete?

Enjoying an MK dinner with she who must be obeyed and the phone rings. It is Nik from the condo.

A cement truck has just driven into the condo.

Well, I didn’t order any.

It is has actually driven into the condo, as in, hit it. Hard.

Oh, better come home then.

So we did, and this was the scene (rather crap phone shot):

Apparently the brakes had failed on the truck and it had come down the hill at high speed, partially negotiated the corner on two wheels and then plowed into our building. Amazingly, the driver was conscious rather than dead and eventually he was extracted. The ambulance was just taking him away when I took this:

Here are some shots that were taken after the driver had been extracted:

Anybody wanting to gain access to the underground car park is going to be frustrated until the police have given clearance to tidy things up.

She who must be obeyed was initially concerned that the building would fall down, then she was concerned that the cement truck would explode (a reasonable concern given all the dickheads wandering around the wreck smoking cigarettes); but she was eventually lured back inside with the promise of cakes.

Going to have a stern word with the gardener in the morning, the flowerbeds out front look like a truck has run over them.

Definitely a good setting for the photos. I would’nt want this set in stone, but I have a pretty firm belief that this will be a hard act to follow.

I think they should leave it there, every condo should have some modern art installed downstairs.
