Random Irritations

[Beezerk]

The number of ??s on the A1 today.

The number of those on most motorways over the last few days. I lost count of the amount of drivers sat in the outside lane in an empty motorway. Absolute morons, they should get someone else to drive them in their yearly trip.

Cretins, every last one of them. The excuses they used to trot out when I stopped them were ludicrous.

“I don’t want to be hitting all the debris in lane one”.

“I feel safer surrounded by space”.

And my personal all time favourite, when pointing to lane one;

“But that’s the lorry lane, officer”.

As I say. Cretins.

argue that irritation!!!!!

that can be a new year wish as well as a long-term irritation

 

[backwoodsman]

If that’s true then why post the irritation? Surely you’re posting because you want people to comment on it. You ok hun?

???.
I was just trying to indicate that folk who post an 'irritation' are not expecting an explanation of why they are wrong to be irritated. They are sharing that they are irritated, and that's pretty much it really? Anyhow, me out.

Putting £45 of unleaded in my Mrs. Slime's Seat Altea 1.9 ............................................. Tdi.

Just an update for those who may be interested.
Car back home and running very well, it started immediately after having the petrol drained out.
It cost £45 of wasted fuel.
£60 to join a breakdown recovery service .............................. who were exceptional.
£40 for a fuel line and tank cleaner and a little thankyou to the guy who did the job in the pouring rain but with a smile on his face.

So, £145 paid for a stupid mistake and 12 months of breakdown cover ............................ including mis-fuels!!

Lesson learned, hopefully.

I would suggest that annoying as that is, that is a result and a lot cheaper than the possible damage probable with the newer and more delicate common rail diesels

Taking the positives, a wasn't too costly (still pricey but least not in the thousand bracket) and b you get that 12 months cover could come in handy another time

Every cloud

Least it's fixed !

similar has happened at golf courses and people who buy houses on the course boundary moaning about balls in garden!! I remember North Hants were forced to change one of their par 3s!

Why do the bedwetters always get their own way

Unfortunately courts rule in their favour - it’s ruined plenty of golf courses over the years - ruined one near here and another one has had to make a number of changes to a hole

Balls from the course where landing in his garden and he went to court and the club had to make changes

Just because the previous owner was happy to have golf balls raining into their garden, doesn’t mean you have to be. If someone built a golf course alongside your house and golf balls rained into your garden would you accept it?
Unless there is a covenant on the house saying that the golf course can shell balls regularly into your garden (which might cost the course a lot to have and would result in a much cheaper purchase price) no one has the right to fire objects into your garden or house.

We had to move one of our greens for balls going into gardens. Course was there 100 years before the houses.

They don’t in Spain. The law is based on “normality.” If you choose to live near a course, expect golf balls. The course has to be there first. Same “normality” rule applies to noise too. If you choose to live near somewhere that is noisy, whether it be a factory, motorway or railway…tough, you chose to live there.

I didn’t say anyone had the right to fire golf balls into a garden ?‍

I just provided some current issues for a couple of courses in the area ?‍

Believe it’s the same in the states but I did hear of a legal challenge after someone got hit from the course
