Had a close call with a prat deciding to take a turn at the last minute right in front of me. May still have it on the dash cam. I'll have a look and post it if I do.

I wait around all day eager to receive delivery of the tyres and to get them fitted for Santa Pod tomorrow.
Why does this shit seem to happen every f'kin time you want something urgently. It's always something. Like, nobody was available to receive them. Despite working in an office with 30 people??? More address info needed. You have my name, housename, postcode. What do you want? 'kin GPS co-ordinates or for me to go with you?????! Why f'ing set off with an item with insufficient info? What checks are they doing? Did it just say 'for Jack' on it???

Feel for u mate. Been through that a few times. once had the postie deliver a blank "you weren't at home" slip. No details for what was meant to be delivered, no address for where he'd taken it, no reason for not posting it. Absolutely ludicrous.
The other day I was working from home and got an Amazon delivery. the bloke didn't knock at the door, just approached the house and decided nobody was in and started walking off - had to run after him in my bloody pjs! |

This morning I went to put the SD card back into my mobius camera mounted on the wind screen.
The slot is spring loaded so you have to fully insert it for the card to stay in there. Putting it in this morning it slipped off the end of my finger nail and catapulted itself into my passenger seat. I saw it land at the back of the seat. Anyway in the time it took to blink the SD card has vanished. Either down the lining of the seat or down the runners the seat sits on or bouncing off into a compartment. I can't find the f'kin SD card anywhere! 30 mins looking this morning. Mutha....

Hard to believe but a lot of times its done deliberately so the driver can get home early, especially for items that take a while to off load to the customer like white goods. Creep up to the door, post a "sorry we missed you" note and then off to the next delivery to do the same thing. Over a day that saves a lot of time. No comeback thanks to the "sorry we missed you" note. Incredulous, but it happens a lot.

My neighbour is a cop and I respect him but this has to go be taking the pee. This morning on a road I drive a white 1 series was doing 60 on the wrong side of the 30 road. He or she nearly drove head on into the cops but they let him go. He continued on at 70-80 and they would have seen him for sure in their side mirrors but he got off. Really ticked me off. Dangerous driving that early... Wtf?!

I’ve really had it with cyclists. I was walking round a lake in MK on what are known as red ways. Red ways are for cyclists and walkers. The cyclists think it’s a race track and pedestrians should get out the way. My Pug, who is blind, pins in both back legs gets hit by one as he tried to avoid other people walking (Luckily the Pug is OK). I don’t often see red but I would really have given that guy a battering if I could have caught up with him. As he rode off he shouted back saying he wanted an apology. If I see him again he won’t be cycling for a while.
Now if it had been the road that very same cyclist would have been saying it was the car’s fault if it had hit him. I was in Wales last year on lovely roads, ruined by cyclists riding two or three abreast with mile long tail backs behind them. It’s not fair to tar all cyclist with the same brush, but there is a certain breed of them with a real attitude problem that are going to have a zero tolerance policy from me from now on. Rant over, but my blood if still boiling. |

They are like a swarm of angry wasps in London. The roads belong to them, they can ride how they like and cars are the “enemy”. They should be made to have insurance, pay road tax and have number plates so they can be traced.

25 or 30 mph can feel fast on a bike. It isn't in a car. Move the F to the left!

I had a load of cyclists pull out behind me just before a huge downward slopping hill. Just prior to this I had cyclists riding 3 abreast making me drive at their speed as I could not overtake. Strangely they freaked out when I did 15mph going down the hill as they could not overtake me and had a rather large hill going up at the end of it. (I could see a lot of arm waving and shouting in my rear view mirror).
I left them an exhaust cloud to cycle up the hill. |

I'm fed up with my journey home... there are cycle lanes at traffic lights but all the cyclists ever seem to do is cycle on the pavement and past the lights... this happened yesterday and the cyclist jumped three sets of red lights. Suits them when to apply the highway code and when not to.
