Random Irritations

That's one of the really funny things about the driving test now.
You get asked a couple of questions about checks on the car...one of them is open the bonnet, pint out the dipstick and say how you check the oil level.
You see these kids, the girls especially, going over to the car, hoisting up the bonnet and pointing out the dipstick - knowing damn well that its probably the one and only time they'll ever do it as they'll wait, like most people, for the oil light to come on or get Dad, Hubby or boyfriend to do it.

That really irritates me. I wasn't allowed to learn to drive until I new how to check all levels and change a tyre. "Helpless" females drive me mad.
 
Food is bare at home, thought I’d go to Morrison’s this morning as I accidentally had something delivered to their amazon locker. seen the queue and thought no thanks as usual.
Just seen that Asda on the way home from work closes at 10pm. Not 8 like everywhere else near me. I’ve been living off packet pasta and an overpriced vending machine for three days and I could of stocked up when I finish at 9pm.

Doesn't the car have a dip stick you can use to check the oil level ?. Possibly it could just be a faulty switch or just slightly low level, you dipstick :ROFLMAO:

I did double check, as far as I can remember it is the only time in 30yrs of driving that I have done ?. The warning light was accurate to be fair, the mark on the dipstick was below the level required.
 
This morning's work emails; Learning Development advising me that I need to do a new joiners course, over 7 years after I joined, and the eyecare voucher people reminding me that I haven't used it, probably because the opticians are currently closed until further notice. :rolleyes: :mad:
 
Nothing
I'm not going to let anything irritate me today.
It's a lovely day, I've got the day off work and I'm going to stay in and enjoy it.
Do some cooking/baking, a bit of gardening, hoover up all the sawdust/tidy my workshop. I might even make something.
The cooking/baking is my first attempt at After Eight chocolate brownies. Will report back. (what can possibly go wrong?)
No road rage, no supermarket queues or impatient shoppers.
Just a chilled day.
The beauty is if I dont get everything done, I'll do it tomorrow :)
But mostly, I'll be staying in.
Stay safe everyone xxx
 
Well yesterday took the car for a spin to local shop to get some milk, bread etc. Got up this morning to find both nearside tyres completely flat, some how in that half mile round trip I've managed to get a nail in both sodding tyres ?

Fortunately we have Mrs Wolf Little car I can use for essential journeys but wish I'd bloody walked now..
 
I'm sure it's already been mentioned but the stupid stupid questions asked by reporters after the daily update , they are just looking to trip up the speaker with an ad lib comment , a figure or date or statistic that does not pan out , so they can slaughter them in the press at a later date . My suggestion would be to get the ejection chair from Graham Norton and put the press in that and give te speaker the lever to pull , think it would be quite light relief from the sad news we keep getting , ;)
