Random Irritations

Badly planned road works

Driving to work.. we have one set with 2 way lights yet the traffic can entirely go both ways past... today the lights had gone again (work still there) no idea what thats about

however turning into work is an accident waiting to happen atm.. roads "closed" but access only. obviously at shift change thats 10 cars etc .. turn left into the road they have put the road closed sign there where you need to go round it .. into one of 2 lanes.. they seem to have failed to notice those 2 lanes are both the other way (right hand and left hand turn lane) .. have to proper carefully go round the corner (whilst driving over a bus lane to get down the road) to not shunt your mate whos just left work

just moving the cones over or coning off the right and left hand lane a bit making one lane out one lane in seems so much more logical.

I don’t care about a tennis player or Australia and I’m sick of hearing about it.

People driving with fog lights on when the visibility is at least 10 miles

Not questioning your random irritation.

In the last couple of years I’ve taken onboard the ‘tip’ of turning off the news and of starting off on the sports pages rather than the front pages. It doesn’t change the mindset overnight but it does after a short while.

As much as a I‘m not a fan of tennis, Djokovic and the drawn out immigration issues in Oz, I’m not sick of hearing about it because I don’t hear about it.

If the news showed stuff I was interested in, I might watch it. But they won't so I don't.
As for newspapers, I haven't bought one in over 20 years.
Many years ago I saw a headline in a paper that said

''Two students spot Loch Ness Monster.......pictures inside''

I bought the paper, turned to the page and found pictures of the students.

Another Djokovic one I'm afraid - but my irritation is that one of my friends is Serbian-born and he keeps blindly defending him and calling it racism against eastern Europeans. Give me strength. Everyone hammering him on WhatsApp but he sticks to his guns, Djokovic is an angel and a victim in all this.

His mum said he had been tortured in the detention hotel. The whole victim narrative from the Djokovic camp is so OTT.

It’s all a smokescreen, he never had Covid in the first place, his positive test is more than likely a fake created by X just so he could play in Australia. The problem is no one told Djokovic about the date he “tested positive” so was swanning around Europe fulfilling media duties.

I love how it seems to be ok to treat migrants in a terrible way, but not a millionaire tennis player

Apparently, not being supplied breakfast (only lunch and dinner) is what counts for torture these days. Christ alive, I am self torturing most days it seems.

That's what I believe as well. It's just lies covering more lies at this point.

Simple solution, give a blood sample; that will tell whether he’s ever had it or not.

This is what I am starting to think. I suspect that there are a few of the investigative sports journalists digging in to this already). Trouble is that to fake covid like this in the current climate would be a career ender.

Not sure if there is a test that shows if and how recently you have had covid (he is meant to have had it before) and he can just play the tortured victim card and decline to provide samples.

I very rarely watch the news. It’s people bringing it up in conversation that irritates.

No doubt he would refuse that just as he refused the jabs.

Then sling him out.

They don't need to be but can be

Not sure if I get you but you don't usually (I've never seen one) have an all in one smoke alarm/ carbon monoxide detector. Auto systems like the one mentioned usually have a burglar alarm, fire, carbon monoxide and fall pendant linked to them. The monitoring station get the alarm then notify the correct person (in theory)

Mrs BiM had a blood test for a shoulder replacement last July. A nurse rang up in August with the results and after running through the basics, the nurse asked how Mrs BiM was. Absolutely fine was the reply. The nurse asked if she is sure she's okay & Mrs BiM again says that she's fine, albeit a little more forcefully. "So you're fully recovered then?" asks the nurse. A clearly annoyed Mrs BiM responds "Recovered from what, I haven't been ill!". "Well," replies the nurse, "your blood is full of Covid antibodies..."

Late March or early April Mrs. BiM had what the doctor diagnosed as gastroenteritis, before gastric issues were a recognised Covid symptom. Beyond that she'd not felt ill or shown symptoms, but clearly from her blood test she'd had it, presumably when she thought she'd has gastroenteritis (if not then she was completely asymptomatic when she had it). So I think if Novax has had it, he could put this all to bed by offering a blood sample... I'll not be holding my breath during the wait.

Goalposts that keep moving, but only ok at "one end of the pitch"
