Random Irritations

My daughter moved into her new uni accommodation earlier in the week, last night some numpty smashed her wing mirror off and didn’t bother stopping. She was quite upset as she loves that car.
Anyone know where we can get replacement parts without getting robbed by a car repair place?

Google "2nd hand car parts" you'll get info on breaker etc who deal online. You might get lucky... depends how rare the car model is

The overuse of acronyms, often on this site, that I have to look up the meaning of.

Most of the annoying stuff is initialisation rather than acronyms.

AAO is initialisation of Annoying Acronym Overuse.

PICO is an acronym for Persistent Initialisation Causing Obfuscation.

Use Google to find the exact part number then stick it in an eBay search. Double and triple check it's the correct part and year before you buy.

Recently sent a garden voucher to a friend for her birthday.....It.never arrived.
I stopped sending vouchers or cash through the post due to previous problems a few years ago.
Really annoying and peez me off that you cannot trust the GPO staff.
In all occasions the addresses were in the South of England.

In future send them a Scottish fiver, no one will Nick them

Emergency medical hologram. He's the doctor on the starship voyager , it gets stranded 1000s of light years from earth and he becomes chief medical officer. Kind of explorers how AI can learn etc. A bit like data in Star Trek TNG.

Let me make this clear.

My name is Robert Picardo and I am the actor who played the part of the emergency medical hologram in the TV series Star Trek: Voyager.

Driving through the local Tesco car park and two children run out from nowhere across the road right in front of my car. Then, a few seconds later, come the parents, casually strolling out. As my missus says, some parents get their kids easy.

Were the parents wearing Benwell tuxedos and smoking fags?
