Random Irritations

For the same reason ,I am not going to comment on the politics of the forthcoming legislation involving "bans".
Whatever it is or becomes may , to my mind and apprehension,well be nothing more than a "poisoned chalice" to the Police.
Because, from what I have seen, a bann is not going to stop people who think their "cause" is great enough to ignore the bann.
They now know that if enough of them turn up, the Police will be in a lose/lose situation. The police will be at fault , not them.

I have no idea what discretion the police will have but I fear they will caught between the proverbial rock and hard place - not able to manage the public as they would want to in the context of the law they have to uphold.
 
Lee Westwood.

"I hate to say it but age is catching up with me," said the 47-year-old.
"I didn't quite have my game - on Saturday I felt like my legs were just getting a bit tired and weak, [on Sunday] I didn't feel like I had my legs under me. I was hitting shots I don't usually hit.

Really? All you've got to do is walk. Walk and swish a club a few times, about 30 times actually. If this is tiring you out, which it shoudn't be at 47, you can come and have a go at my job, humping crates full of bottles of water and fizzy pop up 30 yard driveways....at 55.

All respect now gone.
 
The doctors surgery. They haven't done HID's prescription as they are reviewing it:mad: This is the medication that the consultant has prescribed. The one he still sees at the hospital. They are going to do an emergency script some time this afternoon. :mad:

E-mails requesting feedback on a service or product. I've had enough of them!!!


"We delivered a parcel, how was the service"
"You ordered a paint brush from us, how did you find it?"
"You took a dump in our toilets, was it clean enough?"

They can all just sod off.... yes this one has really wound me up over the last few days with multiple purchases and deliveries.

I recently left a totally honest [two star] review of an Amazon third party seller... A week on they've asked if I would like to reconsider and change my review... Why? The service was poor and nothing has happened since... Not even an apology for the poor service...

Driving instructors should teach how to negotiate round a bouts correctly. The amount of times I see cars giving way to the left is ridiculous.

I should have actually added one to my irritation yesterday;

People who stop for roundabouts and not traffic. Does my nut in.

i know how you feel dear boy, was behind a car today on the west link around Inverness, there at 7 roundabouts on the new section that don't act go anywhere of have turnings off. they stopped at everyone without another car in sight:censored:
 
drivers who sit in the outside lane doing 20mph less than the speed limit, while the inside lane is empty for at least half a mile.

was stuck behind one on the A1 yesterday. Must have been a good couple of minutes, was almost tempted to undertake him, which I know is wrong, but it was pretty irritating. He eventually noticed me and moved in thankfully.

Are you being serious? He obviously means relative to the world he is in - i.e. trying to be competitive in a physical game against a couple of 27-year-olds. He wasn't standing there moaning about how hard his life is, just answering a question about why he didn't win a golf tournament.
 
Some of the people on here who always seem to be looking for arguments with other Forummers. The same people will never back down, see another person’s point or say sorry.

I find it embarrassing for them and wonder whether they ever go back and read what they have written. There are always sensitive subjects but just a little humility at times would be beneficial

Is your humping ability the same as it was 25 years back?
Can you still manage a full shift with OT at the same pace?

Hands up anyone on this forum who drives like they did as a learner. So you hold the instructors responsible for all the speeders, people who don't look turning out of a junction, anyone who carves you up, cuts a corner, parks too far from the kerb, goes through red lights ..........?
Have you never taught someone how to do something and then they don't do as you tell them?

Would be a bit like seeing a Premier League player miss a penalty and then blaming his school P.E. teacher for not telling him how to score one.
 
Took my car to have rear discs and pads replaced after a recent MOT said that they were pretty bad but still an MOT pass. On the advisory it said 100% worn which I didn't think was right given it passed and so went to a different garage to get the job done. When I picked the car up the the mechanic said they were wearing down but probably would have lasted through next years MOT before it being essential, also, how did they come to their conclusion given they dont take the wheels off for an MOT

I hope they ask for a review rating!

How can they put 100% worn on an advisory yet still pass it? :unsure:
