Which bit Stu? The bit about graduation ceremonies for 10 month old babies leaving baby sensory class, with cap, gown & diploma, as they move to nursery school or the fact that if this is the way the world is headed I'm glad I've lived more of my life without this sort of :poop: than I'll have to endure for the remainder of it?

The organised group of cyclists that emerged from the foot passage under the railway which is clearly signed with no cycling and cyclists dismount signs and then a bit further down the road turned right to travel the wrong way down a one way slip road with a blind bend, again against the clearly displayed no entry signs.

My out of date satnav not having details of a new road, junction, revised access etc meaning a 5 minute journey to the m56 became a 15 minute trip down b road country lanes to join later on. My wife did not take it well ?

I hope you mentioned that she could’ve updated the satnav
1 / I don't have a death wish ?

2 / the upgrade would cost £150 which is why it hasn't been done. The system is also too old to connect my phone / Google maps through it. It's the one weakness of the car but usually I can get around it. Not today though

My 2017 car has built in sat nav and the update is over 200 notes...
It would be interesting to do it as it has streets that were built in the last 3 years but doesn't recognise some roundabouts that have been there for 30+ years..:unsure:

Likewise. I could buy the update online but the update process looks rather complicated and I have no wish to “brick” my infotainment system.

Alas, as I have a VW with the RNS 850 system I cannot use Apple Play. I absolutely love the car - but I will for ever regret not researching the RNS 850 more closely before stumping up the money to buy it.

People that deliberately lowball on offers for things you are selling. Got a couple of things up for sale on Facebook Marketplace and other local selling sites. Checked the sold prices on Ebay and similar items have been selling for between £70 and £80. Put two separate bundles up for £60 each, and would be happy to take £50 each. Got a message asking for my best price for both. I said that if they wanted both I'd do them for £90 but wouldn't go lower than that. Got a message back offering £70. Why ask me for my best price if you're then going to try to get me to reduce that further?

Will you take £35?

I know it’s a bit obvious but for me it is the Saudi Golf League thread. It is an interesting issue for golf at the moment and often has new twists and turns which are interesting to hear about. However the thread is so dominated by 3 or 4 posters who are so dogmatic and trying to put each other down that it becomes unreadable despite being of interest. These same posters in other threads have and continue to make informative contributions.
Is there any way you could put posters on ignore just on one thread?

It's sportswashing!
It's growing the game!

People queuing for Costco fuel at 5p cheaper per litre causing traffic chaos.
Amazes me how people can value their time for a couple of quid.
Would be better value on life going to a normal petrol station rather than going out their way to Costco.
We are very simple creatures
