Latest moan from me and you!!!

As a cyclist I feel I must stick up for' The Cyclist'. This is where the sticky bit comes in. We are sometimes rushing home, soon to have a shower, and a few mistakes creep in. The thought of a nice cuppa, glass of Red from Lidels, Footy coming on all these things add up. Traffic lights such a problem we just don't see them.

As a car driver I just wonder how we do it.

 

I've been trying to convince Mr. S of this for years but he still doesn't believe me! It's not only meat but many other items too. The large (what were) tins of chocolates come into the shops at a low price and then gradually creep up towards Christmas, they're also half the size they used to be!

 

On another subject, I couldn't believe what I saw yesterday! A woman driving a largish van with a hand made for sale notice completely covering the left hand side of her windscreen. I followed her out of a left turn junction and she couldn't see a thing as she turned, utter madness and dangerous!

 

So, I've been out all morning and I'm eager to get home, have a wee and a cuppa. Simple thing isn't it?

No!

Opposite my drive is a large van: fine, nowt wrong with that. Ahead and behind him are parked cars. That is fine too; no lines and none of my business.
On the right hand side of my drive is a parked car; no lines. His rear wheel is level with my drop kerb, so his bumper is overhanging a bit. Not insurmountable.
However ...
To the left hand side of my drive is King Idiot of Parking and Common Sense. There is a single yellow line. Not content with trying to hide that with his large car, he's parked mirror image to the guy to my right, so, his rear wheel is level with my drop kerb BUT HIS BOTTOM IS OVERHANGING and now my "space" to manoeuvre into my drive is severely tight!!

One 5 point reverse turn and a cricked neck later, I'm parked
Thank goodness I wasn't trying to get out of the drive for an emergency!

Dumb parking is selfish, frustrating and so bliddy unnecessary.

 

a wee note, in your politest English of course, may not go amiss on the windscreen "M"
after your ,

Good idea, Jenny!

I can write it in the dirt covering his car

 

OVENS....

Why can't they be straight forward....just in the process of baking the pastry base for my curd cheese cake...Ping..timer went off to remove my baking beans..saves me getting a soggy bottom...put the pastry back in set the timer for another 5 mins but by accident i've pressed 'something'...all sorts of little symbols have come up including 'Auto' and now it's bibbing away and stopped cooking.....Yes i could read the destuctions if i could find them but at the end of the day all i want to do is cook not travel to the moon....is it really necessary to have all this jiggery pokery on an oven ....I'm sure others find all these settings very useful but I DON'T.....There is another oven to this damn thing but i've got a christmas cake 'living' in there for another hour or so....

and breathe...................

 

You have my sympathies, loli

Maybe you should go and have another little stir of Jenny's pudding mix and make another wish?

 

Pity you didn't have a few lads around to pick up the back end and shift it 90 degrees to the kerb

 

If I'd had a few lads around, Zigs ... I would have got them to park my car on the drive and spare my neck

 

$@%%!^& fireworks again, will they never end.

 

Why is it that when I'm full of germs the so called man of the house develops an imaginary illness as well!
