Random Irritations

[Sid Rixon IV]

Been to Wales lately?

Anywhere within 15 mins of my house I have my speed restrictor on 22. Im a rebel, I am!

Also, we now celebrate Christmas around March/April as Santa has to take so long when he visits us

Aren't they scrapping them?

What, scrapping the Welsh??
Iesu mawr!!

20mph her to stay for now.

Literally everytime I think there's either mice or moths in the kit bag.

Just wear wider socks??

Or be like Jack and don't pull them up over your mammoth calf muscles

The anti-cycling brigade.

Sadly all too common to be subject to their venomous distaste when cycling responsibly and safely on the roads. I keep hoping to have a conversation with one that cuts in front of me, or squeezes so close that their wing mirrors just about hit me. Something along the lines of "why" followed by explaining how dangerous their unnecessary manoeuvre was and asking were they actually trying to kill me.

Fact is I'm a road user and entitled to be there. If I hold them up for a few seconds what's the big deal? It would hold them up much longer if they caused an accident.

Sorry Amanda , it wasn’t aimed at you. One of my close friends is also a spandex wearer on Sundays and also despises the majority of the cyclist on the road for the very same reasons you do.

Some. Spent a fortune. No getting that back.

This is another thing that needs looking into. The sheer amount of waste that happens in this country and those responsible need to be held accountable.

Covid Corruption Commissioner is going to look into a bit of that - apparently.

How else would they get them on?

Idiots who surround themselves with bigger idiots to make themselves feel good.

While on the topic of roads and it's probably been done before - 20mph zones.

A large reason the roads are in a state is due to councils spending a large percentage of their budget on these pointless zones, rather than fixing pot holes. Outside a school I can understand but they're litterally everywhere now.

Does anyone actually stick to 20? Has anyone been caught speeding in them?

On a similar note - 30mph roads with speed bumps you can only do 20 over. Make your mind up!

The cost of eating out.
There's a new cafe opened near me recently so just for curiosity, I looked at their online menu...
2 eggs on a slice of sourdough bread...£5.95
A glass of still water...£1.30
Thank goodness I can cook

Most of the speed bumps around out way are ineffectual if your car has a moderately wide wheelbase.

I just drive right over them and don’t even feel that they are there.

In 30 yrs when a lot of them are dead they might say they were sorry !

We have some like that round my way, but some others that go all the way across and feel like they're about 6 inches high!

We've lived in our residential development / estate of 1000 homes for 25 years.
There aren't speed humps as such but block paved ~4 inch changes in elevation every 30 yards or so across the full width of the road and wherever there's a junction.
We also have a 20mph limit. Anything over 20 and the suspension gets a real jolt (or over 10 in the Golf R).
There are always loads of kids and dog walkers about and the 20 limit feels about right for a residential area. I'm not aware of any collisions in the 25 years we've been here and I've never heard anyone complain. It feels like a safe place to get around whatever mode of transport you use; unlike the rest of the town.

Our Google Home has now strated pronouncing East Kilbride as East KILL Bride. I'm starting to wonder if it is some subliminal messaging implanted by a jilted Groom.

Heard some "scurrying" on the roof last night, or possibly in the loft.

Can't get to the area from the loft hatch. Call to pest control imminent
