Default Fined on my B-day!

Ok so last Friday was my 24th B-day, I thought as it was a nice day I'd pop out in the S for a spin over to Apsley to check out this magazine shop that sells hard to find car mags. I got there and they were all out of stock so I proceeded to head back trying to organise my social events on the phone whilst driving (traffic jam may I add - I know this is no excuse really) and before I knew it I had been flagged down was in a layby (Chesham) and they were taking my details. It was although they caught me from having a birds eye-ish type of view, possibly related to the day before events in London? I tried to blag I was looking at the time on my phone as the S didnt have a clock but I dont think he was buying it (poor excuse really), I even said it was my birthday (sounded a bit cliche and dont think he believed me until he had to take my D.O.B for the

I do have the Nokia CK-1W bluetooth car kit however it doesnt cater for texting, this was my downfall! I now think twice before picking my phone up from the passenger seat to check for new messages etc. I was thinking of adding a phone holder to the dash but this would totally go against my weight reduction programme

I was on the A41 last night and the night before, they have a police helicopter that patrols around there unless its looking for escaped convicts from Bovingdon?? But I have definitely seen that helicopter the last 2 nights.

We found a tunnel near a farm in Berkhamstead and were testing the invidia noise in the tunnel plus taking various videos with the digi cam, I wondered after whether a tunnel and Invidia could attract the attention of a police chopper? I dont know how much engine noise the helicopers produce when inside one.
