tea and sympathy needed.....

...but chocolate would do at a pinch :rolleyes:

Twice now in one week idiot drivers have tried to damage my vehicles with theirs. On Sunday a car zoomed out of a side street directly in front of my van, making me swerve violently to get control of the van, which is a high-sided little thing, and wrench all sorts of muscles.

The pain and discomfort was just easing off, when today, going to collect eldest son from his interview, some idiot female in a shiny new Corsa decided that she wasn't taking the first turning off the roundabout, shortly after steering into the exit, swerved and came out in front of me, not even signalling!!! :eek: As there was a car in the outer lane, there was no room for manoeuvere, so it had to be brakes - and everything is sore and in spasm again. :(

So, bother the great GC weigh-in - I need chocolate!!!

 

Oh Dendy I do feel for you, do have some chocolate and take it easy. Some drivers are frightening. One car in front of me the other day signalled to turn left but turned right, just as I was about to swing out to go around him! :eek: :rolleyes:

 

So sorry to hear of your troubles. If its any consolation, in a months time it will all be right and forgotten.

I need my own tea and sympathy. Every year for the last five years my income tax has been wrong, because my tax code is wrong. This has led to threatening letters from the Inland Revenue demanding payment for tax already paid. I have spent five year trying to get them to change the tax code, but they will not do anything. In a months time this will not be all right!

 

Dendy,I have my husband yapping in my ear so will have to read this later.He goes back to work on Wednesday thankfully,I cannot listen to him and read and type at the same time :D :D

 

Thanks Peter! Looking forward to a month from now then! :D

Looks like you've got a rather incompetent bunch at your Tax office - have you written directly to the DI? I would.....

Friend along the road received 2 letters in the same post yesterday, wth 2 different codings - BOTH WRONG!!!!

Guess what Mr D does..... :rolleyes: But he's in a different section - doesn't deal with mere individuals - just very big businesses...

 

thanks, Blackthorn! :D People keep doing this sort of thing!!

That reminds me, I don't have to worry about incident number 3 - I was driving into our cul de sac yesterday afternoon, and the car in front of me went into the little layby just before my house, and as I was about to overtake it, it swung out to turn round to go out of the cul de sac! :eek:

She had the grace to realise what she'd done and to be sorry about it - the Sunday driver stuck 2 fingers up, and today's female didn't even notice!!!

 

Sometimes people make you feel like you could just welly them.Hope you fell better soon dendrobium.

 

....I'll have some choccie with you, Dendy... Hope the spams go soon, but as choccie IS a proven pain releif, so have LOADS!!!!!!!!!!!!! (especially if taken wilst in a lovely hot bath washed down with a glass of medicinal chilled wine.............

 

hi dendrobium
hope your sore bits are all better
good luck for no2 sons interviews, if he gets the job you will feel tons better

 

Thanks for all that! :D And I think you could be on the right lines, there, Honeybee - forget the tea - go for the wine! :D But if you don't mind, I prefer red.... :rolleyes:

Think Imight have to stick up a large sign, "DO NOT DISTURB" for Mr D when he gets back at some unearthly hour from a leaving-do.....

 

I think we all should go for the wine and chocolate :D

 

Know how you feel Dendy - I had a twirp once overtook me on a roundabout when I had over one-and-a-half tons of caravan to stop. When I swerved to avoid him it threw the van sideways so hard it took the door off the fridge - and it had the lock on to keep it shut. Expensive near miss.

Pity you're not local! We have a very good cellar of Cahors red wine.... Apologies, though - we're clear out of chocolate! Hope the twinges are soon only memories!

 

Let's all do exactly that! We'll declare it "Wine and Chocolate night" and enjoy it! :D

Nathan please can we have some wine-drinking smilies - we don't all drink beer! Or myabe we could just start drinking wine in those quantities? :eek: :D



H-A - incredible how stupid some people are, isn't it? And it's you left with that bill, and me with the pain, while the idiots get away scot-free (if you'll pardon the expression.....) and will probably do it again and again...... "Oh, I never have accidents, but I've seen plenty"

Oh, and with the prospect of cellarful of Cahors, I could easily be persuaded to become local, H-A - even speak the lingo!
