Random Irritations

[Beezerk]

I hate driving anywhere in this country. Roads too busy and the standard of driving is shocking. I'd have to say mainly by artics - which are usually very dangerous on the A14. Having seen the news article about drivers being in demand and getting big pay increases I wonder if their arrogance on the road is on the rise!

I agree, most really do not give a ?
Cars are just as bad at times but the driving standard of the lorries has become awful, bullying their way down the motorways.

But if he had his indicators on. That gives him right of way! That's how it works, right?

Absolutely, we'll just ask the nice bus driver to slam on the anchors or use the hard shoulder while the old boy does his 6 minute 40 to 70 acceleration sprint.

You're assuming that he'll go beyond 60mph?
I doubt it.

True, if the bus driver wasn't alert then he'd have gotten to 60 alright, pushed along the front of the bus.

Saharan plume…. Current temp in the sun is 47*C. The U.K. might suffer when it rains/snows but we also get to stay indoors sometimes too.

Getting endless review requests when ordering online - particularly when the items aren't due to be delivered until the end of the week!

Only a minor irritation as we are not in any hurry but we bought a small 6x6 summerhouse this morning, yes sir we can deliver that to you in late January! Shed and home office companies have certainly benefited during the last year or so.

Luckily orderd the wood I needed before the price rises. Garage conversion to bar and gym done externally so just ned the walls boarded and insulated and flooring put in. New patio finished so all good for the rest of summer once my lawn grows back after hacing machinary and bags for sand on it for weeks.

Apparently they are increasing their prices as from next Monday so for a change we timed it ok.

The people who come on Sky News in the morning around 7a.m. to have an interview with Kay Burley who I dislike, “My viewers“! The said interviewee when asked a question has a pre determined reply ready and does not answer the question. This was in evidence more than normal today with the response from the lady who was questioned


Please answer the question
