Why does everybody have to walk so slowly, and worse than that, WHY do you all have to be right in front of me, especially when I'm in a hurry??!!
And then to add insult to injury, when I get past you, you have the utter cheek to say

'Hey, look where you are going!!' :angry:
Why do people have to stand in doorways? They get to a doorway of a supermarket, train station, anything and assume that is their appointed place to slam the brakes on and stand there looking gormless blocking people's way. And there's a lot who like to stop at the top of an escalator!

For your information, it's mirror, signal, manoeuvre. Not manoeuvre, turn round and look at your mate in the back seat, signal.

(To the medical people who advise me and others on what to eat when on Warfarin ...)

Don't tell us to cut down on the healthy 'greens' in our diet to fit in with the drug dosage, adjust the drug dosage to work with the healthy diet! :wacko:

But you need the right does to keep the blood correct. Food affects this as well. So it's a balancing act. That said, it's seems illogical to reduce the greens.

That's my point! I am having regular blood tests and I am not on a huge dose of Warfarin so I have kept on eating what I like and they have adjusted the dose to suit. A lot of people would just be frightened off the good food and start eating crap instead.

A point made by one more sensible doctor: if you cut right back on foods containing vitamin k (the clotting vit) then you will be very sensitive to small changes in diet. The difference between 0 portions and 1 is big, whereas the difference between 10 and 11 is small.

To the teacher that thinks that it's my daughters fault she is getting bullied, and not the bullies fault... You utter barstool. See you at school on Monday morning....
Seen that too regularly, the useless gets are just taking the easy, no fuss route. Much too hard for them to get some balls and deal with the real perpetrators, who will bite back, who will be difficult, who will be a right PITA.

A list. I am not man enough to send it to the boss.

1, Stop putting clothes on the radiators, then complain about being cold.

2, a, If your car is due for a service, tell me or book it in yourself.
b, Further to that, don't blame me when the oil warning light comes on.
c, Don't blame me when the mechanic tells you the oil filter collapsed due to lack or regular servicing.
d, not having the time to get it serviced is not a valid reason. I can work from home that day, you can take my jeep.

3, a, If you call me and I don't answer I'm busy. Calling every 30 seconds is just frustrating yourself, and blocks the line when I call you back.
b, When I call back 3 minutes after your first call, "I don't know why you have a mobile, you never answer" is not a valid method of answering a phone.
c, When I produce very details statistics to show that I do answer your calls don't say "I don't care, just answer me" I did darling and here's the proof.

4, a, When I get a tax rebate of I am buying a new winter bike. No discussions. Don't even argue with me. the rest is clearing every credit card, bill, and expense I know of. It's also going to be spent on a full dealer service for your car (see above). Not to mention a fill of home heating oil (See 1.) a load of wood for the fire, and some parts for the heating system to save €
b, After Spending all that to clear debts I am going to destroy all but one credit card. Yes I'd like a holiday, and we'll pay for one by clearing debts so we don't pay stupid amounts of € in interest to banks. So that we don't pay for the holiday over a year.
c, I've ordered the new bike. Only €500. No, that is cheap, no I cannot buy a €100 one from Halfords. It's the same price as getting your car fixed (See 2)

5, a, Yes you'll get a apple Ipad. Ohh, That bike I shouldn't have bought isn't a problem now? Good news.

6, a, It's MY tax rebate. Stop spending what's left of it. We don't need a new TV. The Fridge freezer is only 3 years old. Anything left over goes into a savings account.


To the readers of CycleChat. Thanks for bearing with me. Yes I've just been told I've got a tax rebate covering since 2008. No you cannot have a loan, of donation. I've over paid tax since 2007 and it's mine. Finally! It only took a year, and there was a possibility they were gonna apply it to future taxes.

But it's not all rosy. My wife found out and told the kids. All of them have called or SMS'd me with "Can I have XXX". X being a bike. Ipad, mobile, laptop, decorated room, clothes, food, water. Yes you will gain from this. I'm not keeping it all to myself, but this is going to affect the family long term, not a quick toy, holiday, etc. Although I did entertain using it to finish my PPL for 10 seconds. :smile:

I enjoyed that very entertaining. But you really DO need to say these things to your wife/girlfreind/kids

After over five years, you still haven't successfully completed a single project.
Not. A. One.
And you think you're getting a hard time? Were it up to me, you'd have been sacked a long time ago.
Your incompetence is matched only by your arrogance.
