Random Irritations

Story on the BBC.. the headline really annoyed me

"Derailed train almost reached 73mph"

To me as a railway worker reading that if I saw that incident report id assume the driver was speeding and that is where they Are aiming blame

Go into the actual article

The limit for that stretch is 75mph

So he wasn't driving over the limit

So it's not even news

Just stop

A tragic accident, thankfully not many people on train but still one death is one too many
 
People with wide feet who buy Adidas shoes in the narrow fitting instead of the wide fitting, and then complain about the shoes being too narrow and uncomfortable. Just like buying an ice cream and complaining that it's cold. Guaranteed post in every single shoe thread (that's a lot of threads).
 
My wife's turn for lay in today.. go to get daughter up.. smell hit me when got in room

Upset tummy. Complete change of bedding lol poor love

Happy Saturday
 
Thanks to a brisk south westerly wind, from my garden I can hear the soothing sounds of dads shouting and swearing at the referee which can mean only one thing.............junior football has started again. :rolleyes:

I was eyeing up some open competitions in late September only for a full fixture list for my son's U14 team to be issued by the local FA starting 20th September so I'll be taking him to these instead. I must admit that I wasn't expecting any matches to go ahead before Christmas.

What a bunch of mindless jerks...
After the pitiful way they relayed, or more to the point - didn't, information during lockdown they finally removed their collective digit and managed to rebook driving tests that were cancelled...well, most of them.
Many haven't had their email inviting them to rebook as per the info given.....and yet.....
Yesterday, in their infinite wisdom, they reopened the booking website to the general public......and it promptly crashed as they received "unprecedented numbers of applications"
Really....?
I am surprised....Not!
Tests were suspended for 4 months.
From their own figures that's over half a million tests that didn't take place....
How many people did they think were going to apply on day 1?
5000...?
No, about 350000......and they weren't expecting it..?
Utterly hopeless.
Yesterday evening they said the site would be back up and running on Monday morning.
We've now been told that it's right royally screwed and wont be back up up until Wednesday ...
They have to be the worst Goverment Agency ever.....
I don't think they even know what a brewery is let alone being able to organise something in it....
Feeling less convinced than ever than I can continue my job as I have to deal with these cretins regularly.

Popped into Silvermere for the first time in around a year. Since when did a set of irons regularly cost over £1k!?

I was in there about two weeks ago and thought all of their stuff seemed to have increased and there didn't seem to be as much stock of certain brands. I suppose when a driver is up around £400 then perhaps £1K isn't too surprising and they will only go one way

Had pins and needles in my right hand for about 10 days and according to google it could be several things but I’ve narrowed it down to either being pregnant or having leprosy

Have a like from Mrs. BiM who somewhat more helpfully suggests carpal tunnel syndrome? She's sceptical about the leprosy. but having heard about you could believe the pregnancy... :oops::LOL:
 
At the minor injuries unit waiting to be seen ?
Sizable gash in my left palm (fleshy part), initially was like a budget slasher movie with blood spurting out. Expecting stitches ?
 
Poor performance from our Sunday team this morning. We weren't at the races and lost 4-1 to a team we've beaten a couple of times before. We played decent for the last half hour but too late by then.

We lost 4-1 as well yesterday but it was against a team who finished 3rd in the premier division last season. Had a couple of ex pros playing for them, their movement and positioning was outstounding ?
 
Hurt my back a bit a week or so ago while lifting my bike into the car, it wasn't that bad and I managed to play golf the day after.
Stupidly played half a game of football last Saturday and almost crippled myself, I could barely move for a few days. Got a little better then went for a light run on Thursday, only about half a mile but every step was like someone sticking a dagger into the bottom of my back.
It now hurts all the time, not as bad as it did last week but it's really uncomfortable, I've got a charity 10K run in 3 weeks as well :oops:
