Random Irritations

[USER1999]

Whacked into a massive pot hole in the dark last night. Need to check my tyre for damage next time I am about in daylight. Real bang when I hit it. I was only on the A3090 because they had shut the M27 / M3, so I was on a detour. That tyre is pretty much brand new too.

Ouch!, there is a road I have to go down to get to my sons school and its essentially pot holes joined together with bits of road. Pretty sure my car is going to start falling apart like a clown car one of these days!

Nah not having it, there's no way the NHS doesn't have a 'no open cups/bottles' desk policy (& if by some chance they really don't have one then they are in dire need of some more administrators to correct this oversight)

Detached office in non-clinical area so free to go to the kitchen and make a drink as and when. You are correct though in all clinical areas there is a no open cups/bottles policy and no drinks or food in a bed space. Even our Ward Manager will make a brew and take it to his office on admin days so I'm not being any form of rebel

Getting a parking charge notice from Northampton court stating I owe £200 for a parking fine for a car park in Gainsborough that wasn't physically possible for me to get considering my car on that date and time was parked in a secure long stay car park at Manchester Airport and the only 2 people that could possibly drive the car (my wife and I) were in Italy with the car keys in a safe in our hotel room...

Sounds like your car Reg has been cloned.
What next - speeding tickets, red light cameras and bilking ?
Let's hope not ???

It's when someone tells your wife it has been seen in a local dogging location that you need to start worrying.

I hope she wasn't too mad

Southern loop of Europe's biggest car park, 'Smart' motorways under construction and poxy HS2 'works'...

 

[USER1999]

Not much use in putting in smart motorways, at huge expense, if they are going to get binned for being dangerous.

Oh and... Jonny Foreigner lorry drivers... Who neither understand 'average speed' sections or, more likely, don't care...

Possibly thats what has occurred but should be resolved now spent the whole morning providing all the evidence of where the car was on that date along with where we were. So wait and see?

Im alright on that front she knows it wouldn't be me there as that would involve being sociable to strangers and apparently im to miserable to interact with people outside of work ?

Just checked. I now need 2 new tyres. Pity, as they were pretty much brand new. Pirelli p zero, 255 35 r19, and 285 30 r19. Not cheap.

Low profile tyres rarely/never win the pothole battle - I guess you might be thankful the rims are OK

One assumes "tyres" are the same as tires---the noun, not the verb (not to be tiring).
I guess those things are expensive everywhere.

I think we have Michelins on the Grand Cherokee but I'm not certain.
I let the Gestapo (my wife) take care of auto maintenance, because she being Irish and I being Italian, I obviously have to do the cooking.

 

[USER1999]

Ouch

Looking online, total around £379.50 for the pair.

Definitely ouch.

The outside edge looks ok, no idea about the inside. Find out when the take the tyres off I guess. Hell of a pot hole to have on an A road. Lucky not to have damaged the suspension. I hope!

 

[patricks148]

why have a road closed to certain vehicals and no one to stop said vehicals ignoring its and driving on there anyway..

A9 shaut to High sided today until one goes on it gets blown over and the whole road closed causing a 20 mile detour... same with the A1 back at the begining of Jan

Poppy really doesnt like hers, constantly trying to chew them off!

Put some of that foul tasting nail varnish you can buy to stop people biting their nails. That works a treat.
