Just seen an Old Woman do an 8-9 point turn to get out of a disabled bay in the hospital car park, really shouldn't be driving on the public highway.

I've thought for a very long time, that when you see things like this, you should be allowed to walk over, open the drivers door, remove the keys and launch them over the nearest fence.
 
I had an interesting one at the driving range today. There were 3 young lads (id guess 16-18) who when I arrived were giving it their best Happy Gilmore impressions, I noticed that they had a hire club each so could tell they were just there for a bit of fun. They were being pretty loud and the ball was going pretty much everywhere other than out into the range. Didn't bother me though as I can zone out pretty well at the range, just as long as I didn't get hit with a ball.

I could hear other people there having a moan about them to each other, but I was just happy swinging away. Then, one of the lads approaches me and says..."excuse me, do you mind showing me how to hit it far?". I showed him a few things, then left him with the idea that he is more likely to hit it far if he stops trying to hit the ball as hard as he can. He thanked me and went back to his mates. I had a sneaky watch and he managed to hit some pretty good shots compared to his happy gilmore efforts. They left before me, and as they walked past they all thanked me for the tips.

I didn't know what to make of it at first, struck me as first impressions aren't always right, what looked to be a rowdy bunch being a nuisance turned into a group of polite teenagers. Hopefully they will be back

Well done Steve, we would have a lot more people playing golf if they all had your attitude.
Old folk tend to forget forget how badly behaved they were when they were 16-18 years old.

Anyone found to be enjoying themselves must leave the range immediately!
 
Went to me uncles funeral in Oldham yesterday. Had as good a day as you can have under the circumstances. Anyway I started on the red wine and it was flowing. Off to bed in the 247 hotel in Oldham. I was in and out of a deep sleep, all night tossing and turning. I could half hear some drunken shouting in the hallway. Which was met with the usual thoughts from me of gobby phalanx head drunken idiots
Anyway I woke up this morning and asked Missis T what that was all about. Apparantly a women in the room opposite us was screaming that the guy in her room had raped her, the police had turned up and carted said idiot off. Went for our breakfast and the Police were in the reception. Not good at all.
 
This morning's idiot had only de-iced his side windows sufficiently to see his wing mirrors, no view to either side whatsoever, the pillock.

This evening's utter cretin was fixing a water pipe problem. In the freezing conditions, and despite there being a gully within 5 feet of him on the same side of the road, he saw fit to spray the water to the middle of the carriageway so it ran the full width of the road, doubtless to freeze later. Brain dead.

.just for you...............not today, but a month or two back, I was crossing the footbridge next to Southampton Central Station and there were two lads (about 15 0r 16) loitering on the Bridge looking suspicious... I turned round to see them putting stickers on the bridge then ran off as fast as they could back toward the station.

The stickers had Pompey related stuff on them.... I guess they'd got the train over to do that and scarpered! Football hooliganism isn't what it was!
 
A Spotty Youth with a "Pimped" VW Golf.
Lowered, skirted and spoilered..
So low that he grounded his car on a set of speed bumps on an estate this afternoon...
He crawled over the first bump, obviously scraping his "performance" exhaust, tried to do the same on the next one and he actually came to a halt with all 4 wheels off the ground...
3 lads got out and started pushing.....The exhaust gave up and had a snooze on the road while smoke started coming from underneath the car.

I was nearly crying , it was so funny.....
How to cross the fine line between looking cool and looking like a dickhead - he crossed it big time.
 
On the way to Nairn this morning a guy in a Land Rover Discovery doing just under 40 with his full beams on all the way. Its a busy road that time of the morning and just held up about 30 cars and lorries all the way. There are few chances of overtaking along this road at that time, but i managed to get past, but was almost blinded by his headlights as i got in front
 
Guy in Wickes builders merchants using 3 elastic 'bungy' straps to hold a sheet of ply to his roof rack. Didn't follow to see how his double wammy faired.
 
walking the dogs last night along the side of the river Ness, saw a group of about 10 teenagers on BMX bikes riding down the road, no street lights here and none of them had any form of light and all wearing dark clothing. i could only just see them as they went past me. oncoming car, only saw them as his headlights caught them, no where for him to go as they where right across the road. luckily they split and the car only just missed them. The car stopped as the driver could not believe what he had just seen. The bikers didn't, just joined up again and carried on.. those boys don't know how lucky they were.
 
Like the kid who came out of ASDA a couple of weeks ago doing a wheelie on his mountain bike. His front wheel missed my head by a foot. If it had hit me I would of been done for assault.
 
I'd put myself in this category!!

Frying some braising steak off on Sunday before putting them in a casserole dish to braise in the oven. Just wanted to seal the outside of the steaks so got my pan smoking hot, sealed the first one and got distracted and the pan was really smoking, took it off the heat for a few moments, splash of oil and then back on the heat. Placed (dropped) the steak into the pan and was then covered by red hot oil the splashed right up my left arm and also 3 spots on my face - one on my cheek, one at the side of my eye and the other inbetween my top lip and nose!!! Looks like some kind of disease! Just before my 40th birthday celebrations too!!

I am an idiot.

I'm seeing a minimum one car a day driving at 8 in the morning with no lights on. Every day. Never a police car around when you want one.

I genuinely don't understand how they don't know. Day running headlights are very bright so you could be fooled into thinking you have lights on looking out the windscreen. But surely the fact you can't see your dashboard because it's pitch black should be a dead giveaway???
