People who think by sitting in the outside seat on a busy train means they can occupy 2 seats.

The second bout of bad driving was as bad as the first. Perhaps if you look AND INDICATE before you change lanes in future you won't have to get so worked up at your own incompetence. You seemed quite happy sitting behind that truck at 60 for so long so when you suddenly changed lanes just as I was almost level with you was inexcusable.

Pass the blood pressure pills.
Well you can get some choice late lane changes.

Link added.
It's a good job cars have impact zones.
Not that lacerations and two compressed vertebrae are minor things.

Took the wife out to eat for her birthday tonight.
The restaurant is located on a narrow street at the bottom of a hill on the riverfront.
While the street had been cleared these to$$ers had obviously made no attempt to clear the snow from their car park and we nearly got stranded as there is no other place to even turn around.
Luckily managed to get out after a few minutes of rocking the car back and forth.
You'd think they would have mentioned you need an all wheel drive or 4 wheel drive to get out of their car park when we made reservations.

Bone idol neighbours

Ok, as people they are ok and not a problem neighbour. But

They use her grand mother for child minding. She is a nice old lady, her and her late husband have always been active but she must be into her 80s now. She cannot stand the way her grand daughter neglects the gardens and in summer she is out with the lawn mower.
It is half term and she is looking after her 11 and 8 year old great grand kids. Just looked out the window and she is pulling the weeds from the block paving and sweeping the drive. At her time of life she deserves to have her feet up and brews delivered whilst she monopolises the tv remote. But I doubt she would enjoy that!

Still it keeps her fit.

And her mind occupied.

My mums 83 and still spends loads of time in her garden, but i wouldn't expect her to babysit my kids (unless it was an emergency ) or do my gardening.

Are you saying you're a bone idle neighbour for not helping the little ol' lady with the weeding?

You have to let your old folks do things or they can get very depressed.
Try keeping my mum out of the garden or greenhouse and your have a fight on your hands
