Random Irritations

Every time I think I’m starting to cope with the loss of my girlfriend, something seems to come along and knock me back ten steps. UGH.

Really sorry to hear that and think of your recent tragedy whenever I see you post on here. I'm not sure you'll ever fully cope but maybe those moments where it seems unbearable will become less frequent. Again, so sorry for your tragic loss.

Couples who seem to think the only reason to get married is to have a big party. Don't keep postponing or, according to some possibly cancelling (!!), just get married because you want to get married. If it's all about the day/reception then have a look at whether it's the right move for you!

After over 30 years as an unmarried couple we surprised everyone in 2012. We booked the registry office at Leicestershire County Hall. Walked there on the day, got married, walked home. The 7 guests all came back to our house for a piece of cake and a cup of tea. (Ok so there was some booze) No prezzies or special outfits were required.
It was 20th of June which was mid-summer day, because it was a leap year.
Absolutely bloomin perfect.
Went in to work the following day, "Bye the way everyone, I got married yesterday!" Really enjoyed that one!
 
The Timberland website. My trusty boat shoes are long overdue replacement but it's got more bugs than a buggy thing.

No, I think you will find the majority (There will always be a few knobs whether walking, cycling, driving, truckers etc) but the majority of cyclists either ride defensively to protect themselves (as per the highway code) so maybe 2 abreast at times, or you ride in the gutter, pick up punctures, get forced even more into the ditch.

I know you are just winding me up, but many a truth said in jest. There is, deep down in many car drivers, some weird hatred toward someone travelling with zero emissions and getting fit at the same time! Would you rather get to your destination 2 minutes later or kill someone? that's the crux of it.

Not even 2 minutes late to your destination. Normally 3 seconds later to the red light where the bike ends up in front again.

I don’t think any of us want to kill anyone but the risks that are taken and caused really need to be reduced.
I was nearly front ended by a muppet trying to pass a cyclist on a blind bend, but you ask yourself what makes people make silly decisions??
In the end we don’t have space for cyclists and other vehicles… so do we all go to bicycles? Or do we restrict the access of the cars / vehicles or cyclists? For me I would say the latter .. but that’s because my golf clubs don’t fit on my bike.
 
My wife complaining about my straight through exhaust … and the cars high speed. She hasn’t been in it since it was discretely tuned 4 years ago.
I love it though, and it sounds great as you go through the revs

I think it's just the lack of patience we all have when using a vehicle of any sort.
Many cyclists can't be bothered to wait for the lights to change.
Many drivers can't wait a couple of seconds to see that it's completely safe to pass the cyclist or pedestrian.
Yet we're a group of people who have the time to waste hours on end chasing a little ball with a bag of sticks.
