Random Irritations

Janet Street Porter ....................................... just a fleshy bag of horrid noise and attitude.

God created the world in seven days. Went to bed, woke up with a hangover and created Janet Bloody Street Bloody Porter

Not the Nine O'clock news had it right almost 40 years ago.
 
Just home from a 1 night break at The Nottinghamshire. Oh my word the number of random irritations there is to behold. So called "Championship" course with no starter or marshal and full of people who may pick up a golf club once a year - if that. Groups in front waiting on their mates so they can swap playing partners. Keycard not locking hotel door. Reception "maintenance said they'd fixed that"...blank stare. Bunch of folk that could have got a star billing on Jeremy Kyle arguing on our landing and in both adjacent rooms from 2am to 4am. Waiting for one to get the wrong room and stumble into ours which won't lock. The very bruised knuckles I now have....from knocking on their door at 3.30 to tell them to shut the heck up! The "Signature" course with the worst greens I have ever putted on. Must have been hollow tined weeks ago and never healed nor rolled.

Did I mention the undercooked chicken in the "restaurant" and pretty naff buffet breakfast??

Upsides? Finished with a birdie and with a 6am alarm took great pleasure in turning the TV up full blast and slamming doors, bashing on walls and jumping around the landing for fun.

Revenge...A dish best served cold - like the food?
 
Well bully for you! I think when you use the term narrow minded you need to think about your view of caravan owners.
So what are owners of motor homes and caravans doing to help save the planet? Let me guess...NOTHING.
Every year the motor homes get bigger, the caravans get bigger, the vehicles to tow the caravans get bigger, and the number on the road gets bigger.
Technology will not solve the problem. We need to drastically reduce our carbon footprint. Stark warning from the wild fires in Alaska, Greenland and Siberia.
I don't fly any more and have reduced my travel in a small car by 50%. My use of public transport has risen.

Lots of caravan owners use the caravan as a pivot to go walking, I see it all the time. I do so myself.
How far do you walk?

I'm not going to change it and it will just get into senseless name calling.
I never name call. Do you?
 
People who think that the best place to stop and have a conversation is at the entrance way to a major rail station at peak time.

Additionally to Network Rail for positioning departure boards in a place likely to cause blockages and bottlenecks, great planning guys.
 
lazy buggers who park outside the front door of Tesco to go in for a weekly shop blocking the shop exit so you can't get out with a trolly, despite the car park being half empty and spaces some 20 feet away

The size of your car has no bearing on how polluting it is, it created pollution just by the process of being built and fluided up. I didnt know public transport was pollution free.....
 
What parks? Caravan parks? If National or Pubic parks, most caravans get taken to the Caravan park, set up and then the owners drive in their cars to various places. No caravan owner in their right mind would ever take their caravan with them every time they left the caravan park.


Where are these Parks you speak of?:p;):D
 
They are all the same - the end up with the same barriers up , the same arguments , the same tit for tat from same people - i adds nothing.

People are using a different thread to continue the same arguments they had on a thread that was closed. It’s bad enough that Brexit is slapped all over the media without it infecting multiple threads.

One thread is all that is needed



Ain't that the truth:rolleyes:;)
 
Company vans with these stupid speed limit stickers on the back of them.
"Vehicle limited to 68mph"
Really?
So why, when I'm doing 70 on a dual carriageway, does one come past me doing at least 80?
"For environmental reasons"
"Limited to 70mph"
Er...I think you'll find that it's the law that limits you to 70 Jackass!
Add to that the seeming fact that speed limits don't apply before 7.30am........

It's gonna be a good day I can tell.
I'll be back
